- Pilot schemes conducted by councils have retrofitted diesel bin lorries with electric drives
- Powered by the waste they collect
- Converting one bin lorry is the equivalent of taking 30 diesel-powered cars off the streets
- In addition to the nation-wide fleet of bin lorries, the national fleet of salt spreaders have similar dimensions
- Highways England alone has a fleet of 535 such vehicles
- Electrification also reduces noise pollution
