The use of electrical construction vehicles in the Netherlands is due to the following. We have a maximum nitrogen output level at certain locations. Tenders given to construction companies require the use of electric construction vehicles to prevent going over that level.

Ahh the diesel. Surprised they don't have a mini scrubber.

Yes, the diesel :). The miniscrubber does seem to me a much cheaper alternative to avoid the very expensive electric conversion. You do refer to an extra scrubber aside the catalysator of these diesels i assume?
