| Video Discription | California has made it known to haulers and cities that in the next decade, they want more electric vehicles hitting the road. Battle Motors has stepped up to the task and introduced an electric version of their Low Entry Tilt chassis on a 26 cubic yard Heil Rapid Rail body. I was invited by Eli to come up and film him running a trash route in Ventura and couldn’t say no to recording a first of a kind truck in the state. After filming, I was able to talk with the Velocity Truck Center rep Ron, who walked me through just the sheer amount of thought and engineering that went in to making this truck a reality. If you’re interested, keep reading below! Why a 26 yard body? To start off, the 26 yard body is just the perfect size to allow for the maximum legal payload as the weight is more evenly distributed throughout the rear axles. Why Rapid Rail? Part of the Rapid Rail’s unique feature is the paddle packer. The paddles are powered by 2 hydraulic cylinders and compared to full eject trucks, these cylinders are less draining on the specially designed electric hydraulic system, which means less draining on the battery. This could mean the difference between picking up extra carts, or having to go back to the yard to recharge. You’ll see at the beginning of the video the hopper overflowing. While pretty much all Rapid Rails are programmed to sweep after every dump, you have to find the sweet spot with this truck. Too often and you’ll drain the battery, but too little and you risk overflowing the hopper. Finally, why Battle Motors? Having the truck be low entry also means it has a lower center of gravity so you can put more weight on the front axles without exceeding the maximum legal weight. Another benefit to storing the batteries behind the cab is with C/LNG trucks, this is the spot where the radiator goes. Just swap it out with the batteries and now you won’t need a brand new chassis. The truck has an approximate range of 80 miles and a legal payload of 8.67 tons and is powered by 396 battery cells mounted behind the cab and on the chassis. For all the filmers, be on the lookout for the truck to start heading south! The more cities and haulers that use it means the more data points Battle has to go off of to make it an even better truck. A HUGE thank you goes out to Eli and Ron for allowing me to follow along and film. r-Xdg9D7458 |
