The BOIVIN EVOLUTION electric side-loader can be configured to be completely self-powered with its own battery packs for conventional diesel, compressed natural gas (“CNG”), or electric power chassis, and can also be integrated into an electric-powered chassis to use a common battery pack. The energy-efficient BEV refuse body can complete a full ten-hour route on a single overnight charge, while packing ten tons of legal payload, and still have battery charge to spare. In addition, the use of electric garbage trucks offers waste haulers and their municipal waste customers a new technologically and economically viable tool to support their sustainability initiatives.

The BOIVIN EVOLUTION automated side loader was developed with a mission of revolutionizing refuse collection. The 100% electric arm and auger compactor allows fleets to reduce their environmental footprint by reducing fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, while also eliminating hydraulic oil spills. This combination enables the operation of a fully-electric automated refuse collection vehicle, versus hybrid technologies that adapt a traditional hydraulic body to a battery-powered chassis and still require hydraulic hoses to operate the body functions.
