SITA UK, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, is a leading recycling and waste resource management company that provides environmentally responsible and innovative waste solutions across the UK. They chose the Eminox market-leading CRT® technology to upgrade 161 vehicles from their range of Scania, Daf, Dennis, Volvo and Mercedes fleet to meet the new London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) requirements.
From 3rd January 2012, Phase 4 of the London LEZ will set a tougher standard of Euro 4 particulate matter (PM) for trucks over 3.5 tonnes. SITA UK has a total fleet of 1,700 vehicles in the UK, 161 of which did not meet with the new LEZ Phase 4 requirements. SITA fitted our CRT systems during the first phase of the London LEZ in 2008 and had no hesitation in choosing our product again as the most cost-effective solution for providing their vehicle upgrades well ahead of the 3 January deadline.
All 161 vehicles were fitted at our London Customer Service Center in Slough, conveniently located just outside the Low Emission Zone, which allowed SITA UK minimal downtime and disruption to contracts.
The Eminox CRT is a full filtration DPF filter that achieves more than 90% particulate matter reduction and is approved to the new Transport for London (TfL) standards. Proven on a wide range of vehicles, the CRT was the most popular choice for operators looking to retrofit their vehicles during the initial Phases of the LEZ.
