Programme

Tarmac has unveiled its eMixer Discovery Programme, featuring five electric

concrete mixer vehicles, in a move that reinforces its commitment to

sustainable innovation in the construction industry. Developed in collaboration

with Renault Trucks and McPhee Mixers, part of TVS Interfleet, this initiative

reflects Tarmac’s drive to transition towards zero-emission operations.

Building on its pioneering success in 2022, when it introduced the UK’s

first fully electric concrete mixer, Tarmac aims to lead the way with its

long-term strategy to establish a fully electric fleet. The eMixer Discovery

Programme serves as a platform for reducing carbon emissions and promoting

sustainable practices across its supply chain. The launch of these additional

electric mixers showcases Tarmac's dedication to pushing boundaries and

providing industry-leading solutions.

A key feature of the programme is its innovative “try before you buy” model,

allowing supply chain partners to lease electric mixer trucks for a six-month

trial period. This approach offers contractors an opportunity to assess vehicle

performance and the benefits of electrification within their operations before

committing to long-term investment.

“Tarmac is leading the way in sustainable innovation within the construction

industry,” said Ben Garner, Head of Logistics at Tarmac. “Our eMixer Programme

is an exciting step towards making the shift to zero-emission vehicles smoother

and more accessible for our suppliers. By providing a de-risked transition

model, we are enabling real progress.”

The partnership between Tarmac and Renault Trucks underlines the importance

of collaboration in achieving sustainability goals. Roger Clarke, Head of

Electromobility and Customer Advanced Solutions at Renault Trucks UK and

Ireland, added, “Tarmac’s eMixer Discovery Programme sets a benchmark for the

construction industry, accelerating the adoption of zero-emission transport

solutions and driving progress across the sector.”

Concrete Haulage Limited, one of Tarmac’s suppliers, is already operating

the first new electric mixer truck at Tarmac’s Kings Cross site. Costin, a

representative from the company, shared, “Partnering with Tarmac is a thrilling

opportunity to advance sustainable transport in our sector. Operating this

electric mixer allows us to contribute to building a greener future.”

With innovation and sustainability at its core, Tarmac continues to lead the

charge towards a decarbonised construction industry.
