This 2024 Volvo FE Electric is a used garbage truck — sometimes referred to as a refuse collection vehicle or dustcart — designed for the collection and compaction of municipal solid waste. Volvo is a globally recognised Swedish manufacturer of heavy commercial vehicles and trucks, serving industries ranging from urban logistics to waste management and infrastructure. This particular unit is a zero-emission, fully electric vehicle configured for household waste collection in urban and suburban environments.
The bodywork is a Terberg RosRoca Olympus 20.5W rear-loading compaction body with a 20.5 m³ capacity. It is compatible with multiple loading systems, including Din, ETB, Geesink, and Kam container standards, making it suitable for a wide range of bin types encountered on municipal collection routes. Waste weighing is handled by a Welvaarts Delta 30 integrated weighing system, allowing per-collection weight data to be recorded at the point of loading.
The electric drivetrain is powered by a Generation 3 traction battery with a total capacity of 376 kWh, made up of four individual 94 kWh battery packs. The electric drive delivers 800 Nm of torque. The vehicle is supplied with a 3-phase Mode 2 charging cable measuring 7.5 metres in length. The system is rated for operation across an ambient temperature range of -15°C to +40°C, confirming suitability for year-round service in temperate climates.
