Broadcast technology and production specialist EMG / Gravity Media has added a fully electric 19T tender vehicle to its fleet.
Billed as the first electric vehicle of its kind in the UK broadcast industry to support outside broadcasts, it will be used for London-based projects to assess performance and inform further electrification of the company’s fleet.
The Volvo FE Electric truck delivers a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional diesel vehicles, producing 96% less CO2 and 98% less NOx in usage than an HVO-fuelled Volvo FE diesel truck.
EMG / Gravity Media said its zero tailpipe emissions contributes to cleaner air and a reduced environmental impact, while reduced noise levels improve the quality of life for those living in urban areas near busy transport routes and broadcast venues.
It has a fully charged range of over 200km while carrying a 5-tonne payload, making it well-suited for urban-based productions.
The truck adds to EMG / Gravity Media fleet of over 65 commercial vehicles.
EMG / Gravity Media UK CEO, Jamie Hindhaugh commented: “Our commitment to innovation drives everything we do and part of that innovation is finding sustainable practices that not only reduce our environmental impact but that can deliver better ways of working. The introduction of our first electric tender truck is a significant milestone and reflects our dedication to supporting our clients with more sustainable programme delivery.”
“This is another important step in our sustainability journey,” added Rohan Mitchell, ESG Director, EMG / Gravity Media. “By deploying this electric tender truck to support our London based facilities deliveries, we are taking a decisive step towards reducing our environmental footprint and showcasing that cutting-edge broadcast technology and sustainability can go hand in hand.”
