“With almost 5000 vehicles on the road each day servicing homes and businesses all over Australia, we’re really excited to be working with the City of Fremantle to explore ways of doing things more sustainably.

ELECTRIC GARBAGE TRUCK DRIVER
“Charging takes about 10 hours and we expect to get about eight hours of running time but that depends a lot on travel distances and also the style of driving, so we’ll be working closely with the City and the driver to optimise the vehicle’s performance. “EVie will be housed and charged overnight at the Southern Metropolitan Regional Council’s resource recovery centre in Canning Vale, and we’ll also have charging stations at the City of Fremantle depot, the Welshpool transfer station and our head office in Malaga. “We launched our first electric vehicles in Melbourne earlier this year and we’re excited to be introducing this technology for the City of Fremantle,” Mr Le Provost said. State Municipal Manager Daniel Le Provost said Cleanaway was one of the first waste collection contractors in Australia to introduce electric rubbish trucks.
ELECTRIC GARBAGE TRUCK TRIAL
The electric vehicle trial will be conducted on behalf of the City of Fremantle by waste management company Cleanaway. “The electric trucks are also cheaper to run - which will deliver savings for ratepayers - and they’re much quieter, which is great news for people who like a morning sleep in.” “If we can do that it would avoid around 68 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year by replacing just one of our rubbish trucks with an electric vehicle. “At the moment EVie will be charged using mains power, but there’s the potential for electric trucks to be charged using 100 per cent renewable energy in future. In late 2017, GreenWaste of Palo Alto, in collaboration with the City of Palo Alto, debuted the worlds first full-sized all-electric side-loading refuse truck. “A normal rubbish trucks uses about 500 litres of diesel fuel and produces more than 1.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every week. “Being a zero carbon council is one of the key commitments in our One Planet strategy,” Mayor Pettitt said. With the world’s largest sanitation department, NYC has a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2035 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050.The City of Fremantle has again demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through the trial of a new electric-powered rubbish truck.ĮVie the EV will be plying the streets of Fremantle for the next four weeks as part of the trial to assess the performance of electric vehicles in local conditions.įremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt said if the trial was successful it could pave the way for the City’s entire waste collection fleet to go electric. Due to its characteristics of no pullution, no noise and low use cost, this electric garbage truck can be widely used in closed area like community, hotel, resort, garden, park,airport, bus station, train station,etc. Last spring, New York City began running all-electric garbage trucks on five routes in Brooklyn. for waste disposal in the Tuscan capital.

The Italian company Gorent has recently been using a 26-ton Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E. And while the quiet ride is beneficial for the driver, it’s also a boon for parents with sleeping babies and anyone with pets who are easily startled. After Paris, Lyon and Barcelona, Florence will now also be using electric Renault Trucks for household waste disposal. The truck has a low-entry cab for easy on-and-off movements. At the same time, we are steadily reducing the environmental and climate impact of our diesel and gas-powered trucks, primarily through energy-efficient drivelines,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. “We will continue to develop our electrified offering. The electric garbage truck does not produce emissions at all, which means it does not cause discomfort for passers-by or its crew,” said Deputy Mayor of Brno Petr Hladik. “A typical garbage truck drives about 2,000 kilometers a month and burns 450 litres of diesel fuel. Mayor’s Office plans is to buy several more trucks (one unit costs CZK 12 million). At the moment, it is in operation in the areas of Židenice, Slatina and Černovice. The electric truck can transport up to 13 tons of garbage per day. But even this reserve of power will suffice for a standard eight-hour shift.
ELECTRIC GARBAGE TRUCK FULL
A full charge is enough for 200 km, and at -10☌ – for 70 km. The technological Volvo FE Electric truck battery is charged in 2 hours. If you live in Brno, however, that experience may soon change: the city now has the country’s first electric garbage truck, which runs on a nearly silent motor, and plans to slowly phase electric vehicles into its full fleet. to the sound of a garbage truck rumbling outside your apartment, pumping diesel exhaust through your window. If you live in a city, you’ve probably had the experience of waking up at 3 a.m.
