A refuse vehicle includes multiple tractive elements, a prime mover, and an independent accessory system. The prime mover is configured to generate mechanical energy to drive one or more of the tractive elements. The independent accessory system includes one or more storage tanks configured to store a fuel, and an accessory primary mover. The accessory primary mover is configured to fluidly couple with the one or more storage tanks to receive the fuel from the one or more storage tanks and operate to pressurize a hydraulic fluid to drive an accessory of the refuse vehicle. The accessory primary mover is configured to pressurize the hydraulic fluid to drive the accessory of the refuse vehicle independently of operation of the prime mover.

Refuse vehicle with independently operational accessory system

A range extension system for a refuse vehicle includes a battery, and a controller. The battery is configured to provide electrical energy for accessories of the refuse vehicle. The controller is configured to obtain a state of charge of the battery and limit operation of at least one of the accessories in response to the state of charge of the battery to extend a transportation range of the refuse vehicle.

Refuse vehicle with range extension

A vehicle system includes a vocational vehicle, a tag, and a data management controller. The vocational vehicle includes a chassis and a body. The chassis includes a first subcomponent. The body includes a second sub component supported by the chassis. The body defines a receptacle. The tag is attached to at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent. The tag includes an identifier that encodes tag data. The data management controller is configured to receive tag data associated with the tag. The data management controller is configured to provide material from a tag database stored by the data management controller to a user device based on the tag data. The material is associated with the at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent.

Refuse vehicle QR code systems and methods

A refuse vehicle system includes a refuse vehicle, a tag, and a user device. The refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a body. The chassis includes a first subcomponent. The body includes a second subcomponent, supported by the chassis, and defines a receptacle. The tag is attached to at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent. The tag includes an identifier that encodes tag data. The user device includes a sensor configured to interface with the identifier and a user interface including a display. The tag data corresponds to at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent to which the tag is attached such that, in response to the sensor interfacing with the identifier, the user device is provided with material that is specific to the at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent to which the tag is attached.

A refuse vehicle includes tractive elements, a prime mover, and an independent accessory system. The prime mover is configured to generate mechanical energy to drive one or more of the tractive elements. The independent accessory system includes one or more storage tanks, an accessory primary mover, and a hydraulic pump. The one or more storage tanks are configured to store a fuel. The accessory primary mover configured to fluidly couple with the one or more storage tanks to receive the fuel from the one or more storage tanks. The hydraulic pump is configured to be driven by the primary mover to pressurize a hydraulic fluid to drive an accessory of the refuse vehicle. The accessory primary mover is configured to pressurize the hydraulic fluid to drive the accessory of the refuse vehicle independently of operation of the prime mover.
