26 CPA Bulletin > August 2021 www.cpa.uk.net NEWS FROMCPA MEMBERS: 4 Electric Option at Lynch L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage is the first UK plant hire company to take delivery of a 3T Volvo ECR25 Electric Excavator, with further machines arriving this summer. The firm initially trialled the Volvo ECR25 across three sites, to showcase benefits such as cleaner air and reduced noise pollution, resulting in positive feedback from both Plant Operators and the customer. The fully electric design means that there are zero emissions and noise pollution is greatly reduced. There are lower vibrations when the machine is working for greater operator comfort. The machine features a maintenance free battery and a fast- charging option. The machine is also zero-tail swing, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. Chris Gill, Director of L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage said: “We are focused on our sustainability plan, and our carbon footprint as a business. We are proud to be the first plant hire company in the UK to be running this size electric machine, and we look forward to seeing them on our customers job sites, creating great output, with zero emissions.”
