Urban Impact’s Hybrid Truck Launch Aug 19 1:00 PM
We are thrilled to showcase our new Hybrid Recycling Truck today, at a Launch event slated for 1:00 PM. We believe the truck to be the first of its kind in Canada. It has been branded “Quiet at the Curb” which is meant to showcase, that no engine is required to run the trucks dumping system while it is parked at the curb or at a client location. The charged battery will run the hydraulic system and no diesel consumed in the process. Too cool! We are anticipating reduced operating expenses (fuel) but have a higher capital cost associated with the purchase of the vehicle. The battery system that operates the ePTO (electric Power Take off) is an expensive option for the truck @ $40,000 (or so) over and above the cost of the truck. Urban Impact is hoping to accumulate additional Hybrid trucks to our fleet.

Great event! So impressed with the new truck and how quiet it is on battery mode.
What a honor it is to be the driver of this great new truck. happy to answer all of your questions as I accomplish my work day, with the quiet electric motor. and to all you traffic enforcement officers…..no tickets for me for leaving my engine running, so you can drive right past me with your fossil fuel burning cars, and don’t forget to turn your engine off while you are issuing all those tickets. Boo Yaa.
