BEDEO electric tippers join Lawmens' waste management fleet

Waste management & environmental services company Lawmens has taken delivery of ten electric Tippers from BEDEO.

Based on a Stellantis chassis cab, the BD4.25t Tippers are 100% electric and provide a payload of 1,125kg and a range of 100 miles in heavy use working conditions.

The BEDEO vans can be fully charged overnight, or charged to 60% to 100% in two hours via three phase power, ideal for opportunity charging during the day.

“As a business we hold the protection of our environment in the highest regards, not only in our commitment to divert 100% of waste way from landfill but also ensuring we do this in the most sustainable manner possible. Therefore, we are very pleased to take delivery of our new 100% electric BD Tipper’s (with bodies by Tipmaster) and we will be actively promoting our zero-emission services to all our clients in the London area. This is a new era not only for us but for all business fleets and we are proud to lead the way,” said John Law, Owner & Founder of the Lawmens UK Group.

“We are pleased to build on our success with fleets both in the U.K. & in Europe and to offer zero emission solutions to business’s such as Lawmens,” said Chris Jones, Head of Sales for BEDEO (BD Auto and Energy Ltd). “Our large e-Ducato models are 100% electrically powered and are eligible for both the Government Plug-in Van Grant and a 100% congestion charge discount ensuring that operating costs are very competitive. With the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expanding in October 2021, the now higher daily congestion zone charges and the current issues surrounding air quality, this is definitely the time for fleet managers to take action to move to electric power.”
