Dual-fuel bin lorries are a world first

Liverpool-based ULEMCo has delivered the world’s first hydrogen dual-fuel bin lorries to Fife Council in Scotland. The lorries are converted to run on dual hydrogen and diesel fuels, and will deliver reduced carbon emissions as well as improving air quality.

ULEMCo, owner of the dual fuel technology, carried out the conversion on the bin lorries: two Heil Farid vehicles adapted to run on two fuels. The work is part of a project that will also see the conversion of five Ford Transit vans and ten Renault HyKangoo vans to hybrid electric and hydrogen fuel cell operation.
