Founded in 2010, E-Trucks initially designed and built electric trucks for collecting refuse. However, the six-hour lifespan of electric batteries led its designers to consider hydrogen fuel, which enables vehicles to operate for longer. Depending on the size of the hydrogen tank, which can be 15, 20 or 30kg in volume, the trucks can run for two days before requiring a refuel. Luxfer Gas Cyclinders has partnered with E-Trucks Europe to help power a fleet of zero-emission refuse trucks which, individually, will save 30,000kg of CO2 each year. Luxfer has played a big part in helping to bring our initial vision to life.
Luxfer pioneer advances in gas containment that can improve the quality of people’s lives, their health, their well-being, and their protection. Operates as a business unit of Luxfer Group and are headquartered in Riverside, California and we have additional manufacturing facilities in Pomona, California; Nottingham, England; Calgary, Canada; and Shanghai, China. E-Trucks Europe drive train is optimized for powering trucks up to 22tons and delivers all power required for propulsion, auxiliaries and eventually mounted installations. Vehicles equipped with our drive train are particularly suitable for city applications since no noise or emissions are produced.
