Dennis Eagle expands Elite eCollect range with 4x2 narrow-track model

Exhibiting at the brand-new Road Transport Expo last week, Dennis Eagle said it has expanded its Elite eCollect range, with the launch of a 4x2 narrow-track version.

The zero-tailpipe-emissions 18-tonne RCV is fitted with three battery packs, as opposed to five in the 6x2 version.

This provides it with 180kWh of power, which gives it a range of about 80 miles, which the manufacturer says is comfortably enough for a full day’s work.

The 5-star DVS-rated truck, which has just undergone trials in Kensington and Chelsea, can be charged from 15% to 100% in just 3.5 hours.

Dennis Eagle says it expects the new truck to account for roughly 25% of its electric truck sales.
