Electric Multi Service Vehicles

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Electric Multi Service Vehicles (MSV’s) are being used as opposed to diesel or track-bound vehicles on this project.

These vehicles will be used to transport segments for the TBM as well as people along the tunnels within the project.

Electric (MSV’s) will help the contractor reach their ‘Diesel free by 2023’ status and they are aiming to become the leader in the industry in the use of electric MSV’s and help to provide another step in the direction of moving towards electric powered engines and moving away from diesel fuels.

Using electric MSV’s on sites will help reduce the carbon footprint of the project, will create less noise and will mean no risks of having diesel particulate matter within the tunnels.
