Waste management is a critical component of modern society, and the trucks that collect and transport waste are essential for maintaining clean and healthy communities. However, traditional waste trucks are powered by diesel engines, which emit harmful pollutants into the air and contribute to climate change. As society begins to shift to electric powered work trucks, Parker continues working to advance our capabilities by engaging in development activities with OEMs across the world.

This webinar covers:
  • The benefits and challenges associated with transitioning refuse trucks from traditional combustion engines to electric power
  • ePTO technology as a key element in powering body functions
  • Chassis vs Custom ePTO
  • Hybrid as a potential alternative (with incentives)
