Amey To Invest Over £12m In New Safety Vehicles
Amey has unveiled plans to invest more than £12 million in new, safety-equipped vehicles across its UK environmental services accounts.
The vehicles have been designed with safety as a top feature, including lower emissions, cycle risk technology and 360 degree cameras and lighting technology for improved visibility.
A total of 74 new vehicles have already been introduced, while another eight are due to be delivered. Plans are also in place for further investment later this year.
Amey's Environmental Services Managing Director, Rob Edmondson, said: "We transport over 1.8million tonnes of waste and recycling every year from homes and businesses across the country, which means we have a large fleet on the roads every day.
"Safety is a top priority and we're always looking at new ways to improve how we both deliver our services and keep our employees and local communities as safe as possible.
"The £12.5million investment in the new vehicles allows us to bring in a host of safety features which assist with this and which help our drivers as they carry out their duties."
