00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.519
<b>As a waste disposal company,</b>

2
00:00:01.519 --> 00:00:02.480
<b>sustainability is</b>

3
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:03.119
<b>very important</b>

4
00:00:04.079 --> 00:00:05.760
<b>to us. That’s why we also chose to</b>

5
00:00:06.199 --> 00:00:08.320
<b>to test an electric vehicle, or rather,</b>

6
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.559
<b>several, including this</b>

7
00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:12.519
<b>Mercedes Actros. </b>

8
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:13.920
<b>The results were great</b>

9
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:15.320
<b>and then we decided to buy</b>

10
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.280
<b>our first e-powered,</b>

11
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.599
<b>battery-powered truck. It's been in</b>

12
00:00:22.599 --> 00:00:23.199
<b>operation for</b>

13
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.360
<b>a month now and we're</b>

14
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:26.280
<b>delighted with it.</b>

15
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.840
<b>Our drivers are also very happy</b>

16
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:29.039
<b>with the performance.</b>

17
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.159
<b>We were always considering</b>

18
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.960
<b>an electric vehicle and because</b>

19
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.119
<b>e-mobility is</b>

20
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.239
<b>progressing more and more, we</b>

21
00:00:56.239 --> 00:00:56.960
<b>decided to get</b>

22
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.280
<b>an e-refuse vehicle.</b>

23
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.320
<b>Then we got a test vehicle; we had</b>

24
00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:02.119
<b>it for two weeks,</b>

25
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.880
<b>we integrated it into our operations</b>

26
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.599
<b>and it</b>

27
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.559
<b>worked well. Then Managing Director</b>

28
00:01:08.559 --> 00:01:09.440
<b>Reinhard Kerschner</b>

29
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.480
<b>said we’re</b>

30
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.440
<b>going to buy one.</b>

31
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.079
<b>So we’ve now covered</b>

32
00:01:14.119 --> 00:01:15.519
<b>the complete trip,</b>

33
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.239
<b>for example residual waste routes,</b>

34
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:18.840
<b>which are run every four weeks,</b>

35
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.199
<b>when the bins are collected.</b>

36
00:01:20.199 --> 00:01:22.599
<b>It completes every</b>

37
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.159
<b>run one just one charge.</b>

38
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:26.440
<b>Driver feedback has been</b>

39
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:28.199
<b>all positive too.</b>

40
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.800
<b>We are already planning for the</b>

<b>the results have</b>

44
00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:53.639
<b>been great. There are also</b>

45
00:01:53.679 --> 00:01:56.280
<b>government grants, from the federal government,</b>

46
00:01:56.679 --> 00:01:59.639
<b>which is interesting</b>

47
00:01:59.639 --> 00:02:00.440
