Dutch waste disposal firm tests e-truck
As part of a field test comprising four comparable vehicles, the first DAF CF Electric 6x2 refuse collection truck has entered operations with the Dutch public waste disposal firm Rova. The vehicle features a zero-emission VDL electric powertrain and will be operated in the Dutch city of Zwolle.
The driveline is powered by a battery pack with a (gross) energy content of 170 kWh; sufficient for covering regular garbage collection routes. Waste collection trucks typically return to the depot every few hours to unload, at which time a DAF CF Electric can recharge up to 80% battery capacity in only 30 minutes. It is the fourth DAF fully electric 6x2 truck that is now undergoing field trials. (ben)
