Lunaz, the Silverstone-based company known for electrifying premium classic cars, is now doing its bit to make bin collections greener. The firm’s latest creation is an electric bin lorry capable of accelerating from 0-50 mph in just six seconds. These eco-friendly behemoths are poised to revolutionise waste collection in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council by turning their Biffa refuse collection vehicles into futuristic electric trucks. Lunaz’s method involves transforming existing bin lorries that have reached the end of their UK service life, typically seven years and 70,000-90,000 miles. The firm’s approach to electrifying existing vehicles has won it some influential backers - with David Beckham taking delivery of an electrified Jaguar. Comedian Jack Whitehall is also an investor - and has praised the firm’s plans to electrify bin collection . He says: “Whether future-proofing the world’s best classic cars by making them electric or turning polluting trucks into state-of-the art EVs they are making the planet a better place by reducing emissions and stopping perfectly good vehicles going to scrap”. The electric refuse collection lorries is a potential money-spinner for the brand as there are plans to deliver a total of 57 electric bin lorries by the end of the year and over 200 more in 2024.
