However, from 28 October 2024, HGVs rated zero to two stars will need to be retro-fitted with a Progressive Safe System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five-star rating clears the way for Lunaz UEVs to enter service in London without any further documents or modifications being required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety in focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a \u2018better than new\u2019 upcycled electric vehicle, each Lunaz refuse truck is equipped with a suite of technologies to help drivers see around the vehicle from all angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The external camera monitoring system comprises two assemblies containing three cameras mounted on the top corners of the vehicle, which send images to screens on the dashboard display. The original wing mirrors are replaced with digitised versions that eliminate rear and blind spots around the UEV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike standard mirrors, these mirrors operate under all conditions, including rain, snow and total darkness, dramatically increasing visibility and safety. The driver can also see what\u2019s directly in front of and below the vehicle via a dedicated downward-facing camera.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7954\" style=\"width:378px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lunaz-UEV-Bin-Lorry-Construction-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition to the cameras and mirrors, an object detection system instantly picks out cyclists, pedestrians and other potential hazards, alerting the driver via the dashboard display screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The green light for service in London is another major step towards the wider adoption of Lunaz UEVs by local authorities as replacements for their end-of-life diesel refuse trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reusing and recycling existing vehicles, Lunaz seeks to break the destructive replace-with-new cycle, preventing unnecessary landfill and minimising the overall lifetime environmental impact of operating commercial vehicle fleets. A Lunaz UEV is cleaner and better equipped than an all-new electric equivalent, while the restoration and conversion process captures more than 80% of its embedded carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Better for the taxpayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also deliver a 25% lifetime capital saving over its as-new equivalent, providing greater value for money for local authorities, business operators and taxpayers. Indeed, over a normal seven year life-cycle a Lunaz UEV matches a polluting diesel refuse truck for \u2018Total Cost of Ownership\u2019 (TCO) meaning Local Authorities and private operators can make the transition to zero emissions vehicles without pressurising existing budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunaz has pioneered commercial vehicle upcycling and electrification, a sector predicted to grow tenfold over the next five years, driven by the global transition to net zero and clean-air mobility. Lunaz itself expects to employ 350 staff by the end of 2024 \u2013 up from just five when it was founded in 2018 \u2013 in pursuit of its stated long-term goal of producing 1,100 vehicles per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-c726cf390d779315929594f37f37919d\"><em>\u201cFrom the outset, we\u2019ve built our upcycled electric refuse trucks to meet the DVS five-star standard for driver visibility- the highest available. This accreditation enables operators to obtain an HGV permit from London boroughs without any further documentary evidence or vehicle modifications. It\u2019s also in line with Mayor Sadiq Khan\u2019s pledge to eliminate road deaths in London by 2041. Having our UEVs fully prepared for operation in the capital is an import step towards widespread adoption. They\u2019re cheaper and better-equipped than their all-new electric equivalents, representing greater value for money for local taxpayers, alongside the environmental benefits of our clean-air technology and upcycling process. It also means we\u2019re heading into 2024 in a strong position to continue our journey towards a projected production capacity of 1,100 vehicles a year.\u201d<\/em>  &#8211; <strong>David Lorenz, Founder, Lunaz\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Lunaz upcycled electric vehicles (UEVs) achieve the highest Direct Vision Standard (DVS) for driver visibility Responds to ongoing demand from London borough councils New tech maximises vision for operators;
