<b>We are responsible for a total of almost</b>

2
00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:19.458
<b>500,000 residents, of whom</b>

3
00:00:19.458 --> 00:00:22.125
<b>250,000 are in the city of Mainz</b>

4
00:00:22.333 --> 00:00:23.666
<b>and the same number again</b>

5
00:00:23.666 --> 00:00:24.666
<b>in the Mainz-Bingen district.</b>

6
00:00:25.083 --> 00:00:26.666
<b>My name is Stefan Hawig, I'm the</b>

7
00:00:26.666 --> 00:00:28.000
<b>department head responsible for</b>

<b>mobile waste collection</b>

9
00:00:29.916 --> 00:00:31.333
<b>in Mainz and the Mainz-Bingen district.</b>

10
00:00:31.666 --> 00:00:33.958
<b>We handle this with almost 45</b>

11
00:00:33.958 --> 00:00:35.000
<b>waste collection vehicles.</b>

12
00:00:35.291 --> 00:00:37.125
<b>We've now started converting the fleet</b>

13
00:00:37.125 --> 00:00:38.708
<b>to electric vehicles</b>

14
00:00:38.708 --> 00:00:40.000
<b>and we've</b>

15
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.583
<b>now gained our first experiences with</b>

16
00:00:41.583 --> 00:00:44.291
<b>electric vehicles, which are</b>

17
00:00:44.291 --> 00:00:45.625
<b>proving themselves quite well,</b>

18
00:00:45.625 --> 00:00:47.041
<b>and the feedback</b>

19
00:00:47.041 --> 00:00:47.875
<b>from our employees is positive too.</b>

20
00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:49.500
<b>The daily work with the</b>

21
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:51.375
<b>eEconic is noticeably quieter.</b>

22
00:00:51.708 --> 00:00:53.333
<b>So when we're trying to hear the loaders,</b>

23
00:00:53.333 --> 00:00:54.000
<b>it's</b>

24
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.083
<b>better than a combustion vehicle.</b>

25
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:57.083
<b>So, my name is Dennis Rivera Villar.</b>

26
00:00:57.083 --> 00:00:57.375
<b>I'm a</b>

27
00:00:57.375 --> 00:00:59.291
<b>professional driver here at KAW Mainz.</b>

28
00:01:00.291 --> 00:01:01.791
<b>It's actually much more pleasant,</b>

29
00:01:02.208 --> 00:01:03.250
<b>especially because you only have two</b>

30
00:01:03.250 --> 00:01:06.541
<b>gears instead of twelve or six gears,</b>

31
00:01:06.541 --> 00:01:07.708
<b>which also makes it</b>

32
00:01:07.708 --> 00:01:08.541
<b>much more relaxed.</b>

33
00:01:08.916 --> 00:01:11.500
<b>You have a better view here, since</b>

34
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:13.583
<b>you also sit lower, you can</b>

35
00:01:13.583 --> 00:01:15.083
<b>look directly in front of the truck</b>

36
00:01:15.416 --> 00:01:17.500
<b>and personally I have to say, I find it</b>

37
00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:18.166
<b>really pleasant.</b>

38
00:01:18.166 --> 00:01:20.458
<b>The feedback regarding e-mobility</b>

39
00:01:20.458 --> 00:01:21.208
<b>from our</b>

40
00:01:21.208 --> 00:01:23.041
<b>employees is consistently positive.</b>

41
00:01:24.166 --> 00:01:26.208
<b>The vehicles are easy to handle,</b>

42
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:27.958
<b>the vehicles are much quieter,</b>

43
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.291
<b>communication between the</b>

44
00:01:29.291 --> 00:01:30.666

45
00:01:31.333 --> 00:01:32.791
<b>Residents are glad that they're no</b>

48
00:01:36.958 --> 00:01:39.208
<b>Although we did once get a</b>

49
00:01:39.208 --> 00:01:41.458
<b>tongue-in-cheek question,</b>

50
00:01:42.083 --> 00:01:43.541
<b>where a resident came out and</b>

51
00:01:43.541 --> 00:01:45.708
<b>said, well, normally I always hear</b>

52
00:01:45.708 --> 00:01:46.791
<b>your vehicle coming.</b>

53
00:01:47.541 --> 00:01:48.625
<b>That way I could quickly put the bin</b>

54
00:01:48.625 --> 00:01:49.875
<b>out, but now I don't</b>

55
00:01:49.875 --> 00:01:50.750
