Mike truck pushes turbine electric drive electric garbage truck

April 17, 2023
At the 2016 US Environmental Technology and Waste Expo (Waste Expo), Mike Trucks displayed an electric garbage truck. The car is based on the Mike LR chassis and uses a turbine-electric drive system from Wrightspeed Inc. The transmission was created by Tesla's co-founder, Ian Wright, allowing the car to reclaim power in the brakes and built-in turbine to charge the truck.

Instead of a traditional engine-gearbox transmission, Wrightspeed offers a range-up electric system. The system contains plug-in battery packs that allow the vehicle to travel 24 miles (38.62 kilometers) on pure electrical energy. When the power is low, the 80-kilowatt engine can be used to charge the battery. The engine can burn both diesel and natural gas fuels. Due to work requirements, garbage trucks often have to start and stop multiple times. Recycling electricity from the braking system can also charge the battery, which saves fuel.
