Tarmac launches eMixer Discovery programme

Developed in partnership with Renault Trucks and McPhee Mixers, part of TVS Interfleet, this initiative demonstrates Tarmac’s commitment to driving innovation as the sector moves towards zero-emission targets.

The eMixer Discovery programme forms a key part of Tarmac’s long-term strategy to transition to a fully electric fleet, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices across its operations. It builds on Tarmac’s pioneering work in 2022, when it introduced the first fully electric concrete mixer in the UK.

The new electric concrete mixers will play a crucial role in helping Tarmac’s suppliers transition to electric vehicles by offering a low-risk opportunity to experience firsthand the benefits of electrification in real word application. Through this programme, supply chain partners can lease an electric truck for a six-month period, enabling them to evaluate the vehicles’ performance in their operation before committing to a long-term investment.

Ben Garner, head of logistics at Tarmac, said: “Tarmac is leading the way in sustainable innovation within the construction industry. The launch of our eMixer Programme is an exciting step towards making the shift to zero-emission vehicles smoother and more accessible for our suppliers. Our “try before you buy” model allows our partners to de-risk their initial transition to electrification.”
