Excerpt from from the article in TPi Magazine:
In the latest feature in TPi Magazine, KB Event touches on their crucial role in powering Massive Attacks record breaking sustainable festival; Act 1.5. From transporting charged batteries via fully electric trucks to managing complex rotations with ADR-trained drivers and CNG/HVO-powered trucks.
“Although most events usually only have one power provider, due to the logistics of this project, there were multiple players on hand to ensure the power demands were met…. “KB Event, who did all the transport and logistics, getting the batteries to and from, and Volta Trucks’ electric vehicles transported the batteries to their destination and eradicate the use of diesel.”
“KB Event’s Richard Burnett added: “We didn’t just reduce our diesel usage – we completely swapped it out, using 100% renewable energy and hydrogen for transportation using fully electric Volta trucks and Scania gas trucks. We were stepping into the unknown, something that had never been done before and we didn’t even know if the technology would work. Jamal also asked me to look at Volta Trucks to see if we could secure two Zanobie Batteries to each rigid truck, in essence act as an electric tanker.””
