Two new CEMEX low entry cab tippers have taken to London roads, helping to protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

The low entry cab aggregate tippers will be part of the London fleet of 33 tippers transporting aggregates from Quarries and Wharves to Readymix Concrete Plants and customers’ construction sites.

CEMEX was the first company to own and operate a low entry cab tipper in the country and invested in its first vehicle because of the unparalleled visibility, increased by up to 90% over a standard tipper, and the lower driving position which allows eye-to-eye contact with cyclists. The increased visibility with the standard safety features has done much to ensure that drivers can see cyclists and pedestrians, and prevent incidents.

We have also invested in a new video on the Econic and its features highlighting to the audience the possible dangers around HGVs (heavy goods vehicles).  The video will be a focal point of the on-going training programme for all CEMEX drivers and in addition, it is hoped that cycling groups and organisations will use it to further educate their members.
