Republic Services is amplifying its transition to an electric fleet in a partnership with Oshkosh Corporation’s McNeilus refuse truck business.
Two fully-integrated electric recycling and waste vehicle prototypes are scheduled to hit the road fall 2023. The Phoenix-based company currently operates a fleet of 17,000 trucks, with EV vehicles handling routes in two states. With an aggressive drive to lower Scope 1 emissions, Republic aims for half of its new truck purchases in the next five years to be fully electric.
