(NOX) by 80% and particulate emissions by 50% compared with Euro 5. By investing in more efficient, more sustainable vehicles CEMEX demonstrates again its commitment to decarbonisation of all aspects of its operations, and the management of its logistics fleet is central to this.
The vehicles all meet Transport for London’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS) rating, thanks to their enhanced safety features. These include a side-scan system, while visual alerts are displayed on the windscreen if something is moving into the vehicle’s danger zone.
CEMEX EXPANDS WITH LOWER EMISSION TIPPERS
Building materials supplier CEMEX has added 10 new lower emission tippers to its fleet, with upgraded safety features, a higher payload for increased efficiency and a step change in decarbonisation of its delivery fleet.

he new Volvo FM 460 8x4 tippers will work out of CEMEX’s depot in Angerstein, and be used to deliver aggregates and sand to construction
sites across the capital.
Thanks to their lightweight aluminium body, the business will be able to increase the amount of material transported in each load, while the engine meets the Euro 6 exhaust emissions requirements, which reduces nitrogen oxide
HIAB GOES ELECTRIC H 32
iab, part of Cargotec, has launched the MOFFETT E8 NX to complete its eSeries of all-electric truck mounted forklifts. A specialist model for demanding and heavy-duty tasks, it can lift loads up to 3,500 kg, and is the strongest truck mounted forklift in Hiab’s range, easily mastering both rough terrain and difficult-to-reach jobs.
Because it is emission-free and near silent, it is perfect for use indoors, in low-emission zones and in places where noise is a concern – like residential areas and when it is late at night. The eSeries models offer an overall reduced total cost of ownership compared with our conventional truck mounted forklifts as it can be electrically charged and has reduced service costs. It is engineered with fewer moving parts, which reduces service time and spare parts costs.
The MOFFETT E8 NX has a redesigned bonnet for better visibility and several safety features such as LED lights/beacon, interlocking seat belt and dash controls that are easy to reach from the operator seat. As it is near
Furthermore, each truck’s cab features raised A-pillars that give it up to one extra cubic metre of space and more light. A large windscreen, low door line and modern mirrors ensures excellent all-round visibility which is improved further with an added lower window on each passenger door. Nigel Ponton, fleet engineering manager for CEMEX UK, said: “The addition of these new trucks to our fleet will enable us to better meet customer demand, safely and efficiently. Safety is the number one focus whenever we add new trucks to our operation and these Volvos tick every box in that respect. One of the reasons why these vehicles stood out for CEMEX was because of the improved visibility and layout of the day cabs – providing an ideal workplace for our drivers whilst aiding the safety of other road users.
“These trucks will all be working in busy streets across London so it’s imperative we provide our drivers with the best tools possible to do the job and help protect any vulnerable road users. Moreover, thanks to the improved fuel efficiencies and enhanced payload these new Volvos are the most sustainable vehicles we’ve ever had and will help decarbonise our delivery footprint.” BMJ
silent, it is also easier for the operator to hear what is happening around the forklift. Customers can select from a wide range of E8 models and customisation options to tailor the truck mounted forklift best suited for their needs, and all have access to Hiab’s HiConnect™ service. Next year, Hiab will launch the next generation MOFFETT E2 NX, to replace the current MOFFETT E2, launched in 2014. BMJ
