ABSTRACT

Sustainability in construction is of great importance in government projects, but also of growing concern in the market in general. In this way, earth can be passed on to future generations in a healthy way. A sustainable realization of construction projects, within strict environmental standards, is the reason for companies to invest in electrification of equipment, so without carbon and nitrogen emissions. In terms of CPT, BAM Infra Nederland has taken the world's first hybrid truck with tracks into use early 2021. The heavy 4x4 truck is, while at the project location, electrically powered without emitting harmful substances such as carbon and nitrogen emissions. Both the CPT soil investigation and driving on the tracks are executed completely electrically. On the road, the truck is powered by the usual diesel engine. BAM Infra Nederland has now used the hybrid CPT Track-Truck for various projects. In the paper, experiences from practice are further elaborated and explained.
