\"Electric<\/p>\n

What’s said to be South Australia\u2019s first zero-emissions electric-powered kerbside garbage and recycling collection truck went into service in Adelaide last week.<\/p>\n

The truck was supplied by Queensland-headquartered Superior Pak<\/a> and uses drivetrain technology from Victoria’s SEA Electric<\/a>, which is enjoying significant success with its commercial EV solutions both locally and overseas.<\/p>\n

Zero emissions are great, but this truck is also expected to save East Waste a chunk of change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is much more than a terrific environmental initiative by East Waste,\u201d said<\/a> General Manager Rob Gregory . \u201cIt will deliver financial gain to better manage the cost of kerbside collections of recyclable resources and waste.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Valued at approximately $550,000, the EV cost $150,000 more than a diesel truck, but East Waste has conservatively projected it will save more than $220,000 over its seven year life compared to a diesel truck – so net savings of $70,000 or $10,000 a year. This is due in part to the difference in “fuel” costs, and maintenance costs reduced by at least two-thirds. East Waste points out the savings could be higher if the cost of diesel goes up and the truck lasts more than seven years, which is expected.<\/p>\n

What’s Charging It?<\/h2>\n

Electricity used for recharging the truck is being offset by a 36kW solar power system at East Waste’s Ottaway depot. Details weren’t provided on how much energy the truck will consume over a typical day or whether the solar panels will generate equivalent to its requirements, but the solar system should crank out somewhere in the region of 56.8 megawatt-hours of electricity annually.<\/p>\n

Even if the solar panels don’t cover all its energy use (and my guess is they won’t, making the zero emissions claim debatable), South Australia’s electricity supply is becoming increasingly cleaner – more than half of the state’s generation is from wind and solar energy.<\/p>\n

Emissions reduction and financial savings aside, another advantage of using electric trucks for rubbish and recycling runs is they are much quieter. This means you’ll be able to hear the emptying of the neighbour’s recycling bin full of empty stubbies more clearly.<\/p>\n

East Waste is a subsidiary of seven metropolitan Adelaide councils: the cities of Burnside, Campbelltown, Mitcham, Norwood, Payneham & St Peters and Prospect, the Town of Walkerville and Adelaide Hills Council.<\/p>\n

Other Electric Waste Collection Trucks In Australia<\/h2>\n

Among other electric rubbish trucks in use across the country are Cleanaway\u2019s \u201cEVie\u201d vehicles<\/a> and a tipper truck<\/a> used for hard rubbish collection by Victoria’s Yarra City Council.<\/p>\n

Another electric recycling truck featuring SEA electric drivetrain technology, this one<\/a> for SUEZ in Western Australia, has a 230kWh battery providing more than 200 kilometre driving range before recharge – but there’s lots of stopping and starting with this sort of activity. SEA Electric says it will be capable of 1,200 bin lifts a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
