They frequently need a lot of low-speed torque. There are electric motors powering hydraulic pumps that move all sorts of arms and whatnot. They drive a known distance before being parked at a central location. And of course, all that stop and go driving could be more efficient with regenerative braking.<\/p>\n<p>EVs are also quieter, which would be nice, and of course, they would be locally emissions-free. Garbage trucks are really one of the best candidates for electrification.<\/p>\n<p>The eActros has a 250 kW motor fed by a 240 kWh battery, presumably this will be shared with the garbage truck variant. Customer testing will start next year with series-production beginning in 2022.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jalopnik.com\/daimler-announces-production-electric-garbage-truck-1841068525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daimler Announces Production Electric Garbage Truck<\/a> (Gizmodo)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garbage trucks are great candidates for electrification.
