The most efficient waste collection truck
ever designed, it is a side-loading, electric
hybrid, latest generation collection vehi-
cle that consumes 60% less energy than
conventional diesel-powered trucks. It also
offers several other advantages such as
reduced pollution, less maintenance, and
better performance.
An exclusive FCC technology, it is the result
of more than six years of research conduc-
ted by the Citizen Services Group jointly
with other international energy manage-
ment companies in the automotive, electric
traction, and battery sectors. It is the equi-
pment with electric propulsion technology
for urban waste collection services that has
achieved the greatest reduction in energy
consumption and, accordingly, of pollutant
emissions.
Zero emissions vehicle
In fact, it is a zero emissions vehicle when
it provides waste collection services within
a city. During its journey to the landfill si-
tes or recycling centres, the truck charges
its batteries by means of a natural gas fed
engine. That is, it operates at all times with
the electric engine when travelling as well
as when performing loading and unloading
operations and only uses the thermal engi-
ne for charging the batteries.
The truck does not need a gearbox or indi-
rect transmission since the wheels receive
the propulsion generated by the electric
engine. This means greater energy per-
formance of the electric load, three times
more than that of a combustion engine.
An electronic system was developed to
control electric power which controls the
three engines of the equipment: the trac-
tion engine, the engine that drives the bod-
yworks, and the compacting services.
