Industrial vehicles must evolve to adapt to new environmental challenges. Converting to electric-hydrogen power is a compelling solution for heavy-duty vehicles, both ecologically and financially. “Retrofitting makes more economic sense for heavy vehicles,” confirms a study by Ademe, citing the case of coaches, but also industrial and goods transport vehicles. Much cheaper than buying an equivalent new vehicle, installing a hybrid electric-hydrogen engine offers a range comparable to that of a diesel engine. Hydrogen tanks can be filled in a matter of minutes, allowing vehicles to remain operational throughout the day.
This refuse collection vehicule can carry out its tasks without emitting CO₂ or fine particles, thus ensuring a quiet and clean urban service for the comfort of residents and staff. After conversion, it retains its original functional characteristics (payload, speed, range) while extending its service life and incorporating innovative technology.
The Renault D WIDE 26 T Ampliroll retrofitted by GCK Mobility retains its original functional characteristics and performance while reducing its environmental impact and improving user comfort.
The Dunkerque Urban Community (CUD) has chosen the GCK Group to retrofit several vehicles in its waste collection fleet with hydrogen technology: refuse collection trucks and household waste collection trucks. GCK Mobility, a subsidiary of GCK specializing in the retrofit of heavy vehicles, will convert these combustion engine vehicles into electric vehicles powered by fuel cells.
SUEZ, one of the world leaders in circular solutions for water and waste, has entrusted GCK Mobility with the conversion of two household waste collection trucks as part of its collection contract with the Grand Paris Sud Est Avenir (GPSEA) region. These vehicles, which were originally combustion-powered, will be retrofitted into zero-emission vehicles thanks to an electric motor powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. GCK batteries and a storage capacity of 17 kg of hydrogen will enable them to maintain performance levels suited to the needs of urban collection.
