Electric-powered and therefore emission-free vehicles offer significant advantages over traditional internal combustion engine vehicles:

- Environmental benefits: they produce no emissions of pollutants such as CO2, NOx and particulate matter, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier living environment.

- Long-term cost savings: although initial purchase costs may be higher, operating and maintenance costs are usually lower due to simpler engines and fewer moving parts.

- Noise pollution: zero-emission vehicles are quieter, which is especially important in urban areas and during night-time collections.

- Regulations and subsidies: cities and governments are increasingly encouraging the transition to zero-emission vehicles through subsidies, tax breaks and strict emissions regulations.

Emoss specialises in the production and retrofit of powertrains for electric vehicles. We help cities and municipalities transition to emission-free vehicles by providing tailor-made solutions that meet specific operational requirements and environmental regulations. With our reliable electric drive systems and batteries, we increase service life and reduce operational costs.

The range of electric vehicles can vary depending on factors such as battery size, vehicle type and operating conditions. Typically, these vehicles have a range of 100 to 200 kilometres on a full charge, which is usually more than sufficient for daily tasks in urban environments.

Charging times may vary:

- Fast charging: with fast charging stations, the battery can be charged in about 1 to 2 hours

- Normal charging: with normal charging stations, charging can take 6 to 8 hours.

Emoss offers flexible solutions for range and charging time by using advanced battery technologies and charging systems. Thus, we equip the vehicles with batteries of different capacities tailored to the specific needs of the city or municipality and make recommendations to ensure the most efficient deployment profile of the vehicles.

In general, converting existing diesel vehicles to electric vehicles poses two challenges:

- Technical complexity: Conversion requires extensive powertrain modification, including replacing the engine, transmission and fuel tank with an electric motor, batteries and other components.

- Compatibility and performance: It is essential to ensure that the new electric powertrain is compatible with the existing vehicle chassis and meets the performance requirements of cleaning and waste collection tasks.

Emoss has extensive experience in vehicle retrofitting. Our conversion solutions ensure seamless integration of electric drive systems into existing vehicle chassis. Our expertise allows us to help cities and municipalities optimise retrofit costs and ensure the performance and reliability of the converted vehicles.

The vehicle performs better on all fronts: it is quieter, produces less vibration and heat, and emits no emissions. This creates a more pleasant working environment for the driver and is safer for the environment, both in the city and on a logistics platform.

Various local grants are possible where Emoss refers to local specialists in the country concerned.

Emoss offers a comprehensive warranty period on the vehicles they supply and works with closely selected service partners.

Emoss offers warranty from 5 years on the battery systems where there are options to extend this to 8 to 10 years. The warranty on the entire system (apart from the battery systems) is 2 years as standard and here there are options to extend this to 5 years.

Emoss offers on-site technical training for maintenance of the HV systems and we also offer driver instruction. We believe that the driver is an important part of the success of the new technology.

A converted vehicle with Emoss powertrain is pre-eminently a contribution to the sustainability goals, as it preserves the original vehicle and gives it a second life. This is a huge contribution to Europe's circularity targets.
