Renova's biogas-converted Dennis Eagle garbage truck
Kungsbacka Municipality, in cooperation with Renova, a major recycling company of West Sweden, has received the first of eight new dual-fuel trucks operating on biomethane (refined biogas) and biodiesel – the first in the country, according to Renova CEO, Christian Baarlid, who added, “It is largely thanks to the municipality’s “green procurement” with clear environmental standards that we are now able to present this unique environment garbage truck. This is an important milestone for a better environment in the transport and logistics sector.
The UK-designed Dennis Eagle conventional diesel garbage truck, compliant with Euro-5 standard, was converted to operate on biogas in collaboration with Hardstaff and Volvo. Renova says the result is a highly energy-efficient vehicle that will use 25 percent less energy compared to the conventional model, running on about 70 percent biogas and 30 percent RME.
Volvo Truck Center is responsible for the repair, service and aftermarket for the Dennis Eagle truck.
