#22 Electric Excavators: Cities cut carbon in construction
Since 1913 the world’s most famous flower show
has been held every Spring in Chelsea in London. This year among the electric
blue Persian Slippers, the white and yellow Anthemis Punctata, and the eye
catching, deep pink Digitalis Illumination series of Chris Beardshaw’s Morgan
Stanley Garden, there is a focus on creating beautiful gardens with a lighter
environmental footprint. To achieve this they rejected diesel fuelled
excavators and turned to a battery powered machine, Volvo Construction
Equipment’s ECR25 Electric, to prepare the site.
Low noise, no
emissions and zero fossil fuel means a smaller carbon footprint and better air
quality. It is little wonder then that cities all over the world are demanding
cleaner construction solutions as they strive to contribute to reducing
national carbon emissions and lower the rate of global temperature rise. In
Oslo for example, the Municipality has demanded zero carbon on all of its new
construction sites. This means a range of new solutions are needed including
electric construction equipment, and manufacturers are investing to meet
emerging demand.
