WHEN MACK Truck’s press people invited me to drive their electric trash truck at its headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., I was just so there. Electric Trash Truck could be the name of my ’60s art-rock band. BYD’s U.S. operation already has EV trash trucks for sale, with small numbers working in West Coast states. Canada-based Lion Electric, Daimler, Peterbilt and DAF all have prototypes or early production models of EV trash trucks in the pipeline. One might even dismiss the LR Electric as a bit of greenwashing, except that trash trucks represent a core part of Mack’s business.
