Lunaz’s upcycled electric refuse trucks have achieved the highest (five-star) Direct Vision Standard (DVS) rating for driver visibility.

The DVS five-star rating for Lunaz UEVs is significant because under Transport for London (TfL) rules, HGV operators can apply for a permit without needing to provide any additional evidence. The five-star rating clears the way for Lunaz UEVs to enter service in London without any further documents or modifications being required.

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. A UEV restoration and conversion process can capture more than 80 per cent of its embedded carbon.
