Parker Solutions for Electric & Hybrid Refuse Trucks
When it comes to electric, Parker is positioned in a unique situation since it can provide its customers with different solutions. While the full electric vehicle represents the cleanest and most advanced solution, the diesel electric hybrid is a bridge technology towards green goals.
In a hybrid solution, the truck maintains a diesel engine, but the transmission is aided by electric motors and a small battery pack which functions as a buffer for recovered energy. The hydraulics can also be powered by an electric power unit, that uses the recovered energy as a primary source. The truck architecture is slightly modified from its original state but the emissions are significantly reduced.
For a fully electric truck, instead, Parker can provide multiple components and solutions: electric motors, inverter and drives, and water glycol cooling systems. Parker engineers can help apply motor and drives for the truck propulsion, as well for the on-board hydraulics, usually powered through one or more E-PTOs. Matching the new electric components with traditional hydraulics is a new challenge, and Parker has the best expertise. When the main power source is a battery, weight management and efficiency become critical. Parker systems engineers can help design the next generation hydraulic circuits to handle arm and body functions maximizing the battery life. Parker can also provide a range of silent hydraulic products that can run the machine quietly and efficiently.
