CPAC collaborates with One Bangkok to elevate construction standards in Thailand by introducing the electric-powered CPAC EV Mixer Truck for the first time in the country. This initiative underscores their commitment to Green Construction, emphasizing the use of clean energy innovations in concrete transport under the Green Fleet concept. The goal is to contribute to reducing environmental pollution and global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing the sustainability of Thailand's construction industry to meet international standards.

Mr. Nithi Patarachok, CEO of SCG's Cement and Construction Products Business, stated that CPAC is a producer of ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete products, with a business approach aimed at becoming a Green Construction leader. The objective is to enhance the construction standards in Thailand to ensure sustainability and long-term growth while considering the environmental impact, social quality of life, and governance in line with SCG's ESG 4 Plus framework, which includes goals for Net Zero, Go Green, Lean, Equity, and Collaboration. With the intention of being part of the solution to environmental issues like PM 2.5 dust and global warming, CPAC has introduced the electric-powered CPAC EV Mixer Truck for concrete delivery under the Green Fleet initiative for the first time at the One Bangkok project.

“To reinforce the concept of Green Construction and our responsibility towards society and the environment, our company has partnered with One Bangkok to utilize the electric-powered CPAC EV Mixer Truck for concrete transport in the project, aligning our operational visions. Throughout the development of the project, both companies have collaborated closely, with CPAC overseeing the pouring of concrete for the building's mat foundation and opting for low heat concrete (CPAC Low Heat Concrete), which contributes to reducing global warming (Low Carbon Concrete). We take great pride in this collaboration and hope to continue working with One Bangkok to foster a green construction industry in the future,” he added.

Mr. Nithi further noted, “The electric-powered CPAC EV Mixer Truck represents a significant step towards achieving Carbon Neutrality, aiming for net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. By using clean electric energy instead of diesel fuel, the electric mixer truck can reduce PM 2.5 and PM 10 dust emissions by 45 grams per trip and decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 26.5 tons per year per truck, equivalent to planting 2,800 trees annually per truck. This initiative reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility.”

Mr. Chana Poomi, Vice President of Sustainability at SCG, stated, “To successfully achieve our Net Zero goals, the key is to take action. Our collaboration with One Bangkok serves as a successful use case of Green Construction utilizing cement and electric mixer trucks. It demonstrates that SCG's energy transition can effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We have a clear target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. To push towards a Net Zero society, it is essential for all sectors to work together to elevate Thailand's construction industry to international standards.”

Mr. Worawart Srisorn, Deputy CEO of the One Bangkok project, commented on this collaboration, saying, “One Bangkok is a large-scale real estate project with the highest quality standards, developed with a vision to drive business alongside Bangkok under the concept of 'Evolving Bangkok.' We aim to set a new standard for sustainable construction in Thailand and be part of the community that contributes to a better future. We have partnered with SCG and CPAC as strategic allies with a shared vision to create value through practices based on a circular economy, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions. Previously, One Bangkok and SCG signed four memorandums of understanding for sustainable construction management, including recycling leftover concrete from pile cutting to produce precast walls, recycling leftover lightweight bricks into Q-CON sound barrier walls for the tunnel area, holistic waste management from construction, and using food waste digesters to create fertilizer. The introduction of the electric mixer truck will help reduce environmental issues, especially dust from construction, while also saving energy.”

As a result of this initiative, using the electric mixer truck for concrete transport on-site instead of conventional trucks is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 49,000 kg (CO2) or the equivalent of planting 5,210 trees, supporting the environmental policy goals set forth.
