A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis, a body assembly, and a power distribution unit. The energy storage device is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is configured for storing refuse and is supported by the chassis. The power distribution unit is coupled to the energy storage device and is configured to control power transmission outward from the energy storage device. The body assembly includes a controller that communicates with the power distribution unit to adjust a flow of electrical power from the energy storage device to the body assembly.

Refuse vehicle with electric chassis

A cab for a refuse vehicle includes a cab body defining a first door opening and a second door opening, a first door positioned over the first door opening, and a second door positioned over the second door opening. Each of the first door and the second door includes a door panel and a peep window positioned proximate a lower end of the door panel. The peep window includes an interior windowpane and exterior windowpane. Portions of the interior windowpane and the exterior windowpane are vertically offset and horizontally offset.

Vehicle with improved cab visibility

A vehicle including a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, the cab having a front face, a body coupled to the chassis, and a shroud coupled to the cab such that an internal volume is defined between the cab and the shroud, the shroud at least partially defining: a first inlet positioned along a front side of the shroud and in fluid communication with the internal volume, and a second inlet arranged such that airflow along the front face of the cab enters the internal volume through the second inlet.

Shroud for vehicle

A refuse vehicle including an electric motor powered by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump, and one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine a target cycle time for the hydraulic actuator, and control a speed of the electric motor to achieve the target cycle time.

Cycle time control for a refuse vehicle hydraulic system

A vehicle includes a chassis coupled to a wheel and having a first portion and a second portion, and a cab supported by the first portion of the chassis. The cab includes a tunnel configured to receive at least partially receive the first portion of the chassis and a seat supported within an interior of the cab and having a seat support and a backrest. An uppermost surface of the tunnel is arranged at a tunnel height that is lower than a support height of the seat support. The vehicle further includes a body supported by the second portion of the chassis. The first portion of the chassis includes a frame extension or an inward-offset frame rail configuration and the second portion of the chassis comprises a first frame rail and a second frame rail.

Vehicle cab systems and methods

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled to a wheel and having a first portion and a second portion, an energy storage system supported by the chassis, a drive motor coupled to the wheel and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage system and provide rotational mechanical energy to the wheel, a cab supported by the first portion of the chassis, a refuse compartment supported by the second portion of the chassis, a suspension supported by the cab, a seat supported within an interior of the cab, an armrest arranged proximate to the seat and having control console with a joystick, and an armrest adjustment assembly coupled to the armrest and configured to adjust a height of the armrest relative to the seat. The suspension supports the seat and the armrest so that a position of the armrest relative to the seat is maintained.

Ergonomic vehicle cab

A refuse vehicle including an electric motor powered by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a manifold including a plurality of electrically actuated solenoid valves receiving hydraulic power from the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump via the manifold, and one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine a load applied to the hydraulic actuator, operate the manifold to provide regenerative flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the load is less than a threshold load, and operate the manifold to provide non-regenerative flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the load is greater than or equal to the threshold load.

Regeneration control for a refuse vehicle packer system

Vehicle

A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a cowl coupled to at least one of the body or the cab and extending above the cab, and a heat exchanger coupled to the cab and positioned at least partially within the cowl such that the heat exchanger extends above the cab.

Vehicle with thermal management system

A concrete mixer vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a drum assembly coupled to the chassis, and a module coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the drum assembly. The module includes a prime mover, a cooling system, and a hood. The hood has a first end positioned proximate the drum assembly, an opposing second end positioned proximate a rear end of the chassis, and a top surface. The hood defines an internal cavity within which the prime mover and the cooling system are disposed. The first end defines an inlet airflow cavity. The inlet airflow cavity has a bottom surface and an air inlet positioned between the top surface and the bottom surface. The air inlet connects the inlet airflow cavity to the internal cavity.

Concrete mixer vehicle

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled a wheel, a motor configured to drive the wheel, a body assembly coupled to the chassis and defining a refuse compartment, a lift assembly, and a vehicle control system having a sensor integrated into the body assembly and a controller in communication with the lift assembly and the sensor. The controller includes a processor and at least one memory and is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor, the sensor data indicating a potential event, receive control data indicating a state the lift assembly, and compare the sensor data to the control data to determine if the potential event is a false event associated with the state of the lift assembly or an actual event.
