The engine and all associated infrastructure no longer required will be removed and replaced with 5 x 300 kw batteries, constructed as per the brand new e-collect vehicles recently delivred to NCC. It is anticipated the contract will start 15th October 2021 with an estimated contract value off 667,772 gbp which includes an eCollect driveline warranty of 3 years (ex VAT).
