In 2019 Tarmac announced their Innovation Challenge, for companies to propose new technologies to help Tarmac decarbonise. Over the next three years in partnership with Renault Trucks and TVS Interfleet they developed the first electric concrete mixer to be used in the UK.

Through the process of designing and building a first of its kind mixer, they discovered massive inefficiencies in existing diesel mixers and made a cleaner and far more efficient mixer than any diesel mixers that came before.
