The eCollect all-electric refuse collection vehicle has gone into service with customers around the UK. The 26-tonne vehicle is said to be the first fully-integrated RCV designed by an original equipment manufacturer. The first vehicle went into service with Nottingham City Council; it bought two eCollects as it bids to become carbon-neutral by 2028. They were soon followed by Islington Council and by Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Service which provides waste and recycling services for South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City.The eCollect is based on Dennis Eagle's Elite 6×2 rear steer chassis with Olympus 19m~3 body and Terberg automatic split-bin lift. This represents the company's best-selling vehicle configuration.The narrow version of this market-leading vehicle was chosen for maximum manoeuvrability, and the engine, transmission and other diesel-associated components have been replaced by battery packs providing up to 300kWh of charge and a 200kW electric drivetrain. |
