Dairygold has announced that it is adding an electric truck to its milk collection fleet, making it the first dairy processor in Ireland to do so, marking a significant step towards more sustainable transportation operations by the dairy processor.
Named ‘e-moove’, this electric truck will make daily deliveries and collections from Dairygold’s Castlefarm Dairy Processing Complex in Mitchelstown as well as milk supplier’s farms and can cover 300 kilometres on a single charge. The installation of a charging system on the Castlefarm site enables a full charging of the truck within two and a half hours.
Aligned with Dairygold’s ‘Our Strategy Our Future 2030’, the introduction of the electric milk truck is part of the Society’s broader decarbonisation programme and corporate emissions reduction ambition.
