New Orleans, May 1-4th, 2023 – Robostreet, a pioneering force in sustainable waste management solutions, unveiled its latest innovation, the electric refuse truck LC600, at WasteExpo 2023 in New Orleans. Boasting exceptional features, this cutting-edge vehicle is set to transform waste collection in limited access areas such as parks, alleys, and last-mile locations, making it the preferred choice for cities and contractors striving to enhance their waste management operations while meeting zero-emission standards.
To further enhance its functionality, the LC600 is equipped with a tip-to-dump hopper with a dumping height of 30 inches. This feature facilitates easy and efficient disposal of waste, while a sealed hopper with a crusher panel prevents debris fallout during transport. The truck’s body, hopper, and packer are constructed using a combination of carbon fiber, polyurethane, stainless steel, and Strenx 100 materials, ensuring enhanced resistance and durability.
One notable aspect of the LC600 is its origin. Made with components from the United States, Canada, and China, the truck is proudly assembled in New Jersey, USA. This commitment to domestic assembly supports local economies while maintaining high-quality manufacturing standards.
Robostreet’s CEO, Wei Wang, expressed her excitement about the LC600’s launch and its potential impact on waste management operations. He stated,
“The LC600 represents a significant leap forward in waste collection technology. Its exceptional range, compact design, and eco-friendly features make it the perfect solution for urban environments with limited access areas. We are proud to offer a vehicle that not only meets the highest environmental standards but also enhances efficiency and productivity.”
With a focus on eco-friendliness and efficiency, the LC600 demonstrates Robostreet’s commitment to revolutionizing waste management practices. Its electric powertrain, which produces zero tailpipe emissions, addresses the pressing environmental concerns associated with traditional diesel-powered refuse trucks. By adopting electric power, Robostreet aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality in urban environments.
The LC600’s impressive specifications make it the ideal solution for waste collection in restricted access areas. With a range of 84 miles on a single charge, the truck offers a significant operating range for a full day’s operation in most urban environments. This eliminates the need for frequent recharging, ensuring uninterrupted waste collection and maximizing productivity. The LC600’s batteries feature advanced fast-charging technology, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency.
Featuring a rated power of 50 kW and a peak power of 85 kW, the LC600 combines power and efficiency. Its battery capacity of 80.6 kWh supports the vehicle’s performance, while its top speed of 56 mph allows for swift and efficient waste collection. With a payload capacity of 6 cu. yd. and a weight capacity of 3,000 lbs, the LC600 offers substantial hauling capabilities.
The LC600’s introduction at WasteExpo 2023 received enthusiastic responses from industry professionals and attendees alike. Its unique features and capabilities garnered attention, showcasing the potential for electric refuse trucks to revolutionize waste collection practices in urban areas.
Robostreet is already in discussions with waste management companies and municipal authorities interested in adopting the LC600 for their operations. By collaborating closely with industry stakeholders, Robostreet aims to facilitate a seamless transition to electric waste collection and assist in the development of necessary infrastructure such as charging stations and maintenance facilities.
The launch of the LC600 marks a significant milestone in the waste management industry, driving the adoption of sustainable practices and aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
