Garbage trucks are a common sight in our cities and towns, but they can also be a major source of pollution. Diesel-powered garbage trucks emit harmful pollutants into the air, including nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. These pollutants can contribute to respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer.

Electric garbage trucks offer a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks. They produce zero emissions, so they don't contribute to air pollution. They are also quieter than diesel trucks, which can be a nuisance for residents who live near garbage collection routes.

In addition to the environmental benefits, electric garbage trucks can also save cities money. They have lower operating costs than diesel trucks, because they don't require fuel. They also require less maintenance, which can further reduce costs.
