    We’re absolutely thrilled to see Hampshire County Council latest post featuring our fully electric Quick Change Body (QCB) vehicle. At Econ, we are proud to work in partnership with Hampshire County Council to support their commitment to innovation and sustainability. Responsible, forward-thinking solutions like this all-electric gritter are paving the way for a greener future in road maintenance. With zero emissions and multi-purpose functionality, this vehicle represents a key step towards reducing the carbon footprint of essential services. Sustainable and responsible business practices are the future, and we’re excited to be part of this journey to create a net zero blueprint for local authorities across the UK. Here’s to building a greener tomorrow! #SustainabilityInAction #NetZeroFuture #GreenInnovation #ElectricVehicles #SustainableEngineering #ZeroEmissions #FutureOfInfrastructure #ElectricGritter #ResponsibleBusiness #RoadToNetZero

    We’ve welcomed an all-electric gritter to our winter fleet. The eco-friendly, zero-emission machine is being trialled over the colder months on the A30 in the Cadnam and Netley Marsh area to see how well it performs. Following a two-hour charge, the vehicle can run for up to 170 miles, and when the temperatures rise, the gritting unit can also be replaced with a tipper to enable its use on other jobs including pothole repairs.     This is just one of the innovative technologies being testing at three sites in Hampshire, part of a larger UK-wide £30 million programme – ADEPT #LiveLabs2 – funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom The programme aims to reduce carbon emissions from activities related to the repair and maintenance of local roads. Hampshire County Council is working with Somerset Council and Cornwall Council to deploy a range of low carbon materials and processes on both rural and urban roads, with the goal of creating a net zero blueprint for all local authorities to use in the future. Alongside the e-gritter, we are using low carbon construction materials and recycled asphalt extracted from road repairs to make new road surfaces. We’ve also recently deployed a ‘Hydrohog’, a road repair machine that uses hydrogen instead of diesel.   The three Hampshire pilot sites are: • A30 Hook to the Surrey boundary • A336 Cadnam to Netley Marsh • A32 Droxford to Filmore Hill Net Zero Roads - Wessex Live Lab
