The solution came in the form of three new hybrids refuse collection vehicles, which have been collecting refuse in the city since the summer of 2020. Three-axel MAN TGS chassis are powered by a Euro 6 diesel engine with an Allison fully automatic transmission, while Banke E-PTO TM56 powers Stummer refuse compaction body. The customer has not had any problems with Banke’s equipment since the first run, and the vehicles have successfully achieved the desired emission and noise reduction levels.
Thun’s new hybrid refuse collection vehicles have not only helped the city reduce emissions and noise pollution but also provided a safe and comfortable workplace for employees. The successful implementation of these vehicles serves as a testament to the city’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and employee well-being.
