eDumper – and you thought EVs were limited to cars and golf carts?
So you remember when we all used to laugh at electric cars? Call them glorified golf carts? Yeah well about that. Tesla clearly broke the ice with the original Sportster, but now the whole battery powered thing is moving in an entirely new direction. Heavy industrial machinery. Take for instance, this Swiss made eDumper. The fully electric dump truck ain't no Tonka Toy (look it up). The beast is expected to move 300,000 tons of rock every year for the next 10 years and will save up to 1300 tons of CO2e and 500,000 litres of diesel.

Well so are the specs, price and delivery. It's scheduled to have a starting price of around €15,800, and arrive sometime at the end of 2021. The tech specs also look a little ambitious, even if it is a German based operation.  • View comments • Track comments •

Something needs to be done. Fast. continue reading  TreeCard – this free debit card plants trees when you shop
OK so we're not huge fans of clever marketing disguised as environmental action, but the pedigree of this new initiative seems sound. The Ecosia people - who plant trees when you use their search tools - have just released a new free debit card called TreeCard. The idea is that for every $60 you spend, they will plant a tree in your forest. It's cute, and while some may consider it a gimmick, the fact is that Ecosia has already planted 100 million trees over the past 10 years, so they do what they say.  More Recent Articles
