Electrifying! concrete delivery and low carbon outcomes

Ben Garner, Head of Logistics, Developments and Standards, Tarmac

The transportation model for readymix concrete is perfect for early electrification. Trucks are often single-shifted, travel short distances to customer sites and typically return to the same base plant allowing a simple and cost-effective charging setup. But there remain a number of barriers that are delaying the widespread adoption of eMixers. In this session we will explore those barriers and how to remove them, accelerating the uptake of eMixers. Lowering the carbon footprint of readymix concrete, improving air quality in urban areas and construction sites and improving road safety, eMixers are the future for concrete delivery.
