It's clear that sweeping change is needed if we are to collectively transform the highway construction, maintenance and utility works industries and we understand the complex challenges that lie ahead for customers ... from materials choice and production technology, to supply chains and transport. As we all know, steps are being taken already, and there are solutions available today that can significantly reduce emissions. Electric machines are one of these solutions and they are growing in popularity. No longer just a vision for the future, they are in operation today on sites across the world in a wide variety of different applications including highway maintenance and utility work. Aside from being zero emission, they are also quieter, helping meet ever-stricter air pollution and noise disturbance regulations. Whilst many customers understand the benefits offered by electric machines, concerns about cost and performance can be a stumbling block towards adoption. Changing the way we measure their impact is one solution to help pave the way for wider uptake. |
