Singapore concrete supplier Pan-United has unveiled an electric-powered concrete mixer truck. According to the company, using the electric mixer truck will reduce the carbon footprint of transporting ready-mix concrete by 45 percent compared to a legacy truck. The reduction in noise pollution is also a major benefit in Singapore’s dense urban environment.

The truck was built by SANY, a Chinese multinational heavy machinery manufacturing company. It has a 350 kWh battery pack, delivers up to 360 kW at peak power, and can charge up in two hours.

Pan-United describes itself as a global leader in low-carbon concrete technologies. The company produce carbon mineralized ready-mix concrete, which incorporates sequestered industrial waste CO₂.

“We hope to eventually operate a substantial fleet of electric concrete mixer trucks for our day-to-day operations,” said Mr Ken Loh, CEO of Pan-United. “This step marks an exciting new venture in exploring alternative fuel technology and a deepening commitment to accomplish Pan-United’s aim of being a carbon-neutral ready-mix concrete company by 2050. Pan-United has been actively exploring ways to reduce our embodied and operational carbon emissions. This includes the use of alternative fuels and electric gensets in our operations to lower our carbon footprint.”
