THE DEBRIEF
Companies are also adopting circular economy principles when it comes to infrastructure development . This is designed to promote the efficient use of resources , reduce wastage and see construction materials repurposed for other use cases .
Electric innovation
From a logistics perspective , the use of heavy-duty trucks powered by electric motors and batteries instead of traditional internal combustion engines has seen a significant reduction of tailpipe emissions . This also reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with diesel-powered trucks .
Electric motors provide instant torque which means these trucks are well-suited for hauling heavy loads and navigating challenging terrain commonly encountered in construction sites . Electric trucks are also equipped with large-capacity batteries capable of providing sufficient range between charges . Additionally , these batteries usually feature fast-charging capabilities to reduce vehicle downtime .
Many electric trucks come equipped with telematics systems and remote monitoring capabilities . This provides companies with realtime data on vehicle performance , battery status , and charging
There is a myriad of options available to those in the building and construction sector who want to embrace technology and focus on more sustainable practices . Having sight of these and being willing to adopt them are key aspects in the race towards net zero .
