Ecomaine, which converts Maine’s trash into electricity, announced that it will replace its diesel waste hauling trucks with electric trucks fueled by incinerated household trash.
The company is expected to replace two diesel-powered waste trucks with Lion Electric Co’s electric trucks by the end of the year. The electric vehicles are expected to cost a total of $1 million. Half of the costs will be covered by grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
