In partnership with Westminster City Council, Veolia is deploying a fleet of street cleaning e-bikes across Westminster, London. The 14 new e-bikes have joined over 60 electric cleaning and collection vehicles that already operate in Westminster. By adding e-bikes to this fleet, Veolia has further cut the number of diesel vehicles it is operating within the borough.

Using an e-bike in the place of a diesel vehicle significantly reduces noise pollution and results in a 100% reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The e-bikes also contribute towards the 89% reduction in carbon emissions from the overall electrification of Veolia’s Westminster fleet, thus strengthening the council’s commitment to net-zero by 2040.
