The BYD 8R Class 8 Automated Side Loader (ASL) vehicle is an all-electric refuse truck. The heavy duty truck features BYD’s propriety electric propulsion system designed specifically for refuse collection. The truck features cab, chassis, and propulsion system built by BYD and an ASL body built by Amrep, a Wastequip company. BYD electric trucks are clean and quiet and give the operators a better driving experience. With fewer moving parts than carbon-burning trucks, the BYD All-Electric trucks are easier to maintain and more cost effective to operate.
