The investment, co-financed by 85% from community funds through the Açores 2030 program, aims to increase response capacity and prepare for the future implementation of biowaste collection. The new vehicles have distinct features to meet different service needs.
One of the vehicles, equipped with a municipal solid waste (MSW) bin, will be used for biowaste collection and to enhance the collection of recyclable materials. The second vehicle, with a tipper body, is intended for waste collection in hard-to-reach areas and for other types of waste that cannot be collected by specialized vehicles.
The choice of fully electric vehicles aligns with environmental commitment, reducing ecological impact by eliminating exhaust gas emissions during operation.
