EV Refuse Trucks Grounded Through Lack Of Chargers!
JANUARY 10, 2023
By Paul Homewood

 

£6.5 million for 25 lorries works out at £260,000 a piece, which sounds extraordinarily expensive for what appears to nothing bigger than a Transit truck.

I have no idea what a proper truck would cost, maybe somebody else does.

It depends on the truck. Front loaders can go for $250-350K, Side loaders for $200-300K and rear loaders from $200-400K. (New, USD prices, diesel powered)

Because of compaction capabilities not in evidence in the image at the article, I'd wager the US variants would have a higher capacity as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
