Projects

The project

Hull municipality did a project with EcoNord in which the performance of hydraulic bin lifters and EcoNord electric bin lifters were compared during a six month period.

Main results

• EcoNord lifter had an 8,33% higher ratio in kilogram per litre
• EcoNord lifter had 13,69% more kilograms collected per liter fuel
• Econord lifter collected 382 Kg of waste per liter of fuel
• The Model T lifter averaged 470 Kg more refuse collected per day whilst using less fuel
• The Model T averaged 3 litres per day less fuel consumption
• Collections with Model T averaged 16 minutes shorter time per day
• Model T with Heil body + single pump gave fuel efficiency increase of 8.33%

Overall conclusion

Existing Hull Council vehicle fitted with the EcoNord Model T electric bin lifter collected more waste while consuming less fuel, taking less time, and being more fuel efficient. In terms of carbon footprint the lifter saved approximately 5.2 tons of CO2 per year per truck!
