World’s First Trash-Powered Electric Garbage Truck
The small UK town of Huddersfield announced what might be a world’s first: a trash-powered electric garbage truck.
The truck is a modified Smith Edison 3.5-ton Ford Transit municipal trash truck. The “leccy vehicle” has a 40kWh lithium-ion battery, and a range of about 100 miles. It can be fully charged in about 8 hours.
