For street cleaning services,
FCC has developed an ancillary electric-traction
vehicle with features and performance similar
to combustion engine vehicles
u e s t

cle also enables greater acceleration and
is faster while providing the services as a
whole. Other features and the performance
of this vehicle are similar to a conventional
vehicle with a heat engine.
For street cleaning services, FCC has de-
veloped an ancillary electric-traction vehi-
cle with features and performance similar
to combustion engine vehicles in terms of
speed and load capacity. The acceleration
of the electric engine is quite notable, pro-
viding the maximum part at slow speed. As
to autonomy, the vehicle is able to complete
an entire service without any problems and,
in some cases, could work a double-shift
without it being necessary to recharge the
battery.
FCC is a pioneer in researching and intro-
ducing new technologies in urban services.
It was the first company with collection
trucks powered by natural gas (1999) and
in electric-hybrid collection trucks (in 2005).
The company intends to remain a reference
in the sector by introducing new technolo-
gies, sustainably, in these services, working
with cutting-edge companies in the different
technology sectors, and always looking for
sustainable and real solutions that maintain
or enhance service quality. We believe that
we are on the right path, developing vehi-
cles with very limited environmental impact,
optimising our services, and introducing
new technologies.
The challenge we face is to continuously
improve provided that the technology
allows it, in the quality of the services ren-
dered, and to continue to minimise the im-
pact on the environment. The development
and implementation of new technologies
is increasingly more demanding and we
must make important efforts to continue
along the same path, the one we believe
in and the one in which we have been ma-
king efforts for many years.
