A prince's Jaguar E-Type could help revolutionise taking out the trash

LONDON - When car fanatics fret about the inevitable end of the internal combustion engine, they worry that the thrilling roar of a V12 Ferrari will be silenced. What they sometimes forget is that it also means the end of blaring seven-litre garbage truck engines roaring down the street at 5am.

Today, the Lunaz factory in Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, is stocked with beautiful classic cars such as Sophia Loren's Rolls-Royce Cloud, purchased by a high-end hotel in London to shuttle guests in all-electric style, and a 1950s James Young two-door coupe Bentley with an electric conversion price tag of up to to £1 million .Lunaz has set its sights higher than shaping accessories for the rich and famous.

The new plant will have"dirty" and"clean" sections, said Mr Lorenz, with old garbage trucks coming in and upcycled ones going out. His longer-term vision is that whenever any industrial diesel-powered vehicle comes to the end of its life, a nearby Lunaz plant will be able to give it an upgrade and keep it on the road, far cleaner.
