An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis at a front end thereof, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and an energy storage system including a plurality of battery cells. The body assembly is positioned behind the cab with a space defined therebetween. The energy storage system is positioned within the space between the chassis and the body assembly.

Systems and methods are provided for collecting and distributing material. In one embodiment, a collection system comprises at least one storage compartment comprising a plurality of regions. A bin is provided for transporting material from a first environment towards the storage compartment. The system comprises a diverter, wherein the diverter is dimensioned to distribute material among the plurality of regions within the storage compartment. The diverter has a first position during use in which at least a portion of the diverter is positioned below the bin when the bin is in a raised position for emptying material, and at least a portion of the diverter is positioned above the plurality of regions in the first position during use.

Techniques are described for correlating entity identification information with refuse containers being serviced by a refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Location data can be collected by location sensor(s) on the RCV at a time when a triggering condition is present, such as a time when a lift arm is operating to empty a refuse container into the hopper of the RCV. The location data can be provided as input to an algorithm that estimates a container location through a vector offset to account for the distance and direction of the RCV lift arm relative to the location sensor in the RCV. The container location can be correlated with parcel data to determine the parcel that the container was on or near to when it was serviced, and the customer or other entity associated with the parcel can be correlated to the particular container based on the analysis.

A method of assembling a refuse vehicle includes receiving a chassis and one or more refuse vehicle body components; assembling one or more sub-assemblies from the one or more refuse vehicle body components; painting the one or more sub-assemblies and the chassis; and after painting the one or more sub-assemblies and the chassis, coupling the sub-assemblies and the chassis to a body of the refuse vehicle.

[Problem to be solved] To provide a high-efficiency collection system that improves working efficiency by performing reception operation more easily and promptly. [Solution] A high-efficiency collection system 1000 for industrial waste includes a vehicle-mounted unit 1210 and a controller 1120. The vehicle-mounted unit 1210 is mounted on a waste transport vehicle 1200 that collects industrial waste and transports the industrial waste to a treatment site. The controller 1120 is provided at an acceptance facility that accepts and treats the industrial waste, acquires a load weight on the waste transport vehicle 1200 measured using a weighbridge 1110, receives industrial waste treatment related information from the vehicle-mounted unit 1210, and performs acceptance operation. The industrial waste treatment related information includes at least the name of a waste generator, a transport trustee, a transport permission number, the type, quantity, shape, and packing type of the industrial waste to be discharged, a driver's name, and a transport date.
