“Republic Services has made an industry-leading commitment to
fleet electrification, and we look forward to continuing our
longstanding partnership with Oshkosh and McNeilus,” said Brett
Rogers, Republic Services vice president, operations technology.
“Our latest order of Volterra EVs will help us provide cleaner,
quieter service to customers and help our municipal partners
achieve their climate goals.”
Building on a longstanding partnership, Republic Services first
ordered 50 Volterra ZSL electric refuse and recycling collection
vehicles from Oshkosh in 2023. As the operator of one of the
nation’s largest fleets of vocational trucks, Republic Services is
a leader in fleet electrification with plans for electric vehicles
to comprise half of its new truck purchases over the next five
years. The McNeilus Volterra eRCV, the industry’s first fully
integrated electric refuse and recycling collection vehicle, is
designed to meet the rigorous demands of waste and recycling
collection while managing carbon emissions and providing
exceptional total cost of ownership.
“Republic Services has been a valued partner for many years, and
we are thrilled to support their sustainability initiatives with
our McNeilus® Volterra™ electric refuse and recycling collection
vehicles,” said John Pfeifer, president and chief executive officer
of Oshkosh Corporation. “This order is a testament to our shared
vision of advancing environmental sustainability while delivering
high-performance solutions for waste and recycling management.”
The 100 McNeilus Volterra electric vehicles will be deployed
across multiple states, contributing to Republic Services'
ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent by
2030. Each vehicle is equipped with advanced safety features,
including 360-degree cameras, lane-departure sensors and automated
braking systems, ensuring both driver and community safety. The
Volterra eRCV can operate a full day’s route on a single charge,
offering unparalleled reliability and efficiency in refuse and
recycling collection.
“In addition to helping advance environmental goals, the
Volterra eRCV was thoughtfully designed with drivers, service
technicians and business owners in mind,” said Lee Dreas, vice
president and general manager of McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing.
“We’re proud to offer this innovative solution, which transforms
the driver experience while delivering outstanding total cost of
ownership advantages.”
The McNeilus Volterra electric refuse and recycling collection
vehicles feature a purpose-built chassis and body, integrated as a
single unit to maximize interior space and streamline operations.
The vehicle’s zero emission certifications from the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) help customers meet stringent environmental
regulations and clean fleet goals.
