A presentation of a prototype electric garbage truck MAZ, designated GTe, took place in Moscow.
The compact cab located above the front axle is optimal for vehicles operated in frequent stop mode. This layout has long been used abroad, but is unusual for the CIS countries. The cab provides four seats - a driver and three crew members.
The garbage truck is equipped with an electric drive and an electric motor with a capacity of 204 hp. A lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 256 kWh guarantees a range of up to 200 km.
The environmentally friendly and silent power plant will allow the car to be operated in the city at night. The 20 cubic meter body is capable of holding up to 10 tons of garbage.
The list of equipment includes cameras providing all-round visibility, windshield heating and air conditioning.
