2023 Christmas Special: Lunaz Electric Mercedes Econic Bin Lorry on Mixed Recycling, UEV

Merry Christmas Everyone, hope you all have a good one!
P2 UEV is a 26 tonne Mercedes Econic Faun Variopress with Terberg OmniDEL split bin lifters and is seen collecting Mixed Recycling from Blue Bins. It used to be powered by diesel in its first life, and it was then converted by Lunaz into an electric truck, which was originally for Biffa and is now being used as a demo vehicle.
With thanks to the crew 👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy! Let me know your thoughts in the comments, stay safe!

Brilliant video and lovely truck! Realy lucky getting to see this one!! I'm not 100% sure but there's a chance this might be an ex South Lanarkshire truck, Lunaz bought a lot of our 15 and 65 plates to convert them into these and it does look as if there used to be a sticker on the top corner of the hopper, our trucks had SLC logos stuck up there. There is some things that make me want to think its not one of ours but it could be not sure. Keep the brilliant videos up!

[@FinBinMan]

Cheers mate, definitely! It might well be one of yours and if it is then even better!

[@BinLorriesOfTamworth]
