Mack Trucks delivers LR electric refuse truck in New York
Additionally, the Fulton Fish Market Co-Op, the largest fish market in the U.S., will receive four medium-duty Mack MD model electric vehicles to aid in zero tailpipe-emissions logistics. This comprehensive approach supports both environmental and economic goals in Hunts Point, home to nearly 13,000 residents in the southern tier of the poorest urban congressional district in the United States.
Mack Trucks has successfully delivered its first LR electric refuse vehicle as part of “The Bronx Is Breathing: Reimagining a Cleaner Hunts Point” project. The delivery to Royal Waste Services, a Waste Connections subsidiary, “marks a significant milestone in bringing clean transportation solutions to one of New York’s most underserved communities“, as reported in the press note.
According to Mack Trucks, the electric refuse truck deployment coincides with the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s (NYCEDC) announcement of MN8 Energy’s selection to build the city’s first community-driven, freight-focused electric vehicle charging depot in the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center.
