With a mission to become a greener company , Collins is actively investing in sustainable solutions . The business has been using hydrotreated vegetable oil ( HVO ) since 2021 , for instance , to support its wider carbon reduction goals , but one of the key areas of investment is electrification . In fact , Collins took delivery of the UK ’ s first Volvo EC750E and EC950E excavators and an L25 Electric wheeled loader . Collins didn ’ t stop there ; in 2022 , the business added two of the UK ’ s first Hybrid Volvo EC300Es to its fleet of hybrid and fully electric machines . Featuring Volvo ’ s novel hydraulic-hybrid technology , these machines harvest energy generated by the downward movement of the boom , resulting in 17 per cent greater fuel efficiency over
conventional models , with no compromise on controllability or performance .
Across its portfolio , Collins exemplifies how a forward-thinking and diversified approach is necessary to thrive in today ’ s modern construction industry . With robust expertise spanning earthworks , demolition , stabilisation , transport , plant sales , and training , Collins delivers comprehensive bespoke solutions , fostering long-term client relationships built on trust and consistency .
From adopting cutting-edge technologies like TrimbleGPS to advancing sustainability through electrification , Collins is striving to build on its proud history with a progressive outlook . Moving forward , its well-earned reputation for reliability and innovation is sure to propel the company into a new era of success . ■
