Waste collection in historic town centres: the Alkè electric solution

Waste collection in historic city centres requires compact vehicles capable of operating in narrow streets, pedestrian areas and restricted-access zones.
Alkè electric waste collection vehicles are just 148 cm wide with mirrors folded. Their compact dimensions make them suitable for waste collection routes where larger refuse trucks may be difficult to operate.
The fully electric drivetrain produces no exhaust emissions during operation and reduces noise compared with conventional combustion-engine vehicles. These characteristics are particularly valuable in residential areas, tourist destinations and historic centres.
With waste body capacities of up to 3.5 m³ and optional hydraulic bin lifters, Alkè vehicles combine compact dimensions with equipment designed for professional waste collection.
For municipalities and waste management operators, this means a practical solution for organising collection services in areas where vehicle size, noise and accessibility are important considerations.

Waste body with bin lifter for electric vehicles for waste collection

Alkè electric vehicles for waste collection feature a hydraulic system designed to ensure safety and practicality during emptying operations. The system includes automatic descent control valves and double-acting hydraulic cylinders for tipping the waste body. It also features support feet to ensure lateral stability during unloading.
You can control operations directly from the cab or from the ground using a handheld remote control. This ensures simple and flexible management of all activities.
To make collection even more efficient, the vehicles can be equipped with an electro-hydraulic bin lifter. The optional electro-hydraulic bin lifter is designed to handle 120, 240 and 360-litre waste bins. It allows operators to empty compatible containers directly into the waste body, reducing the need for manual lifting. A waste body cover is also available on request.
Thanks to their electric power, these vehicles help reduce operating costs related to fossil fuels. This promotes a rapid return on investment, to be evaluated based on use and running costs. The waste collection body is also available in the COMBI version. It can be combined with a tool box or a pressure washer to combine multiple functions in a single electric vehicle.

The main features of Alkè electric vehicles for waste collection:

  • Reduction of harmful emissions and noise pollution
  • Ideal solution for smart cities
  • Three waste body capacities: 3.5 m³, 2.8 m³, 2.2 m³
  • Waste body tipping up to 90°
  • Particularly efficient in stop-and-go driving situations
  • Waste body controllable directly from the cab

Electric Vehicles for Waste Collection: efficiency and quiet operation

Alkè electric vehicles for waste collection are equipped with a regenerative braking system, which is particularly useful on routes characterized by frequent stop-and-go driving. This technology allows to increase the range by up to 30%, making the vehicles particularly suitable for separate waste collection in municipalities.
Thanks to their extremely quiet operation and zero emissions, these vehicles are also ideal for campsites, holiday resorts, parks, and hospitals, where they are used to collect waste and transport it to the nearest waste compactor, reducing the impact on people and the environment. In addition, the waste collection body can be controlled directly from the cab, ensuring practicality and ease of use during daily operations.
