Join us in embracing the future of waste management with the MEGA EV electric waste truck. In 2014, North America became home to its own electric garbage truck. Called the ERV (electric refuse vehicle) it hit the road in Chicago in September 2014. It was the first of an up to $13.4 million purchase order for up to 20 trucks. The PO was won in a competitive bid by Motive Power Systems in 2012. The majority of the money used to purchase the first truck came from a DOE grant secured by then-Senator Barack Obama. The City of Chicago runs the Motive ERV on different residential refuse and recycling routes of up to 60 miles, saving 2,688 gallons a year.
Chicago specified that this ERV must meet the demanding requirements placed on all of its garbage trucks. This included 60 mile range, a payload capacity of nine tons and 1000 pounds per cubic yard of compaction. These specifications make the ERV capable of use anywhere in Chicago. To supply enough electricity to move the truck and power the hydraulics all day, the ERV is equipped with 200 kilowatt-hours of energy, in ten battery packs. Full charge time is 8 hours using the Mot iv Universal Fast Charger.
