    > “These innovative EV collection trucks will fulfill our trash, compost and recycling needs, reduce noise pollution, and include larger windshields to increase each driver’s field of vision and lower greenhouse gas emissions, making our neighborhoods quieter, safer and healthier,” he said.

    “Republic Services has placed electrification at the forefront of its sustainability efforts, with more than 50 EVs slated to be in operation by the end of 2024. The company recently placed an order for an additional 100 McNeilus Volterras, which are expected to be delivered in 2025. Republic stated it expects half of its refuse vehicle purchases will be EV by the end of 2028.“

    Let’s go!
