1st 100% Renault electric heavy waste truck launched in UAE

Renault Trucks Middle East and Al Masaood in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer), have launched the first 100 percent electric waste truck in the United Arab Emirates, and the first fully electric heavy truck launched in the Middle East, in support of the UAE’s net-zero ambitions and sustainability agendas.

The first Renault 100 percent electric truck will be used by Tadweer, the sole custodian of waste management for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, to collect waste from households in Abu Dhabi. The truck was manufactured by Renault Trucks, under the dealership of Al Masaood, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Tadweer and Al Masaood during the EcoWaste Exhibition and Conference.

Being the first electric heavy truck operating in the region, the Renault Trucks E-tech truck will also run a pilot program to gauge the vehicle’s performance in high temperatures such as the capital’s summer heat, in addition to addressing logistical challenges such as charging station availability along key routes.
