"Royal Waster Services took delivery of its first Mack LR Electric garbage truck in December - and they're happy enough with their big EV's performance to have placed an order for three more, helping Bronx residents sleep in, and breathe easier. Funded in part by the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), that first Mack LR Electric has put in an incredible performance over its first eight weeks of deployment, collecting ~75 tons of waste per week while maintaining 100 percent operational uptime."
" After seeing positive results with our initial Mack LR Electric, and with the support from the voucher incentive program, adding three more units was a natural next step for our fleet," says Michael Angelo Reali, district manager for Royal Waste Services.

Royal Waste Services received its first Mack LR Electric garbage truck in December and ordered three additional units following strong early performance.

Drivers reported reduced fatigue from the absence of engine vibration, improved control and responsiveness on stop-and-go routes, and quieter operation benefiting Bronx residents. Electric propulsion also delivers fuel and maintenance cost savings plus zero tailpipe emissions, supporting urban operational viability.
