The first garbage truck with hybrid technology was launched in Sweden over four years ago, it was a Volvo FEHybrid. Used by Renova and Ragn-Sells they operated in the Gothenburg and Stockholm regions. But now it is time for Spain to have it's own truck, this time it's a Renault with the body beeing supllied by Geesinknorba.
From 0 to 20km/h (12,5mph) it uses its electric drivetrain to move the vehicle allowing a saving of 20% in fuel consumption and avoiding the emission of 12 tonnes of CO2 annually. Outside the urban area it will use the diesel engine. It will operate in Barcelona by Urbaser.
