A refuse vehicle including an electric motor powered by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a manifold including a plurality of electrically actuated solenoid valves receiving hydraulic power from the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump via the manifold, and one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine a load applied to the hydraulic actuator, operate the manifold to provide regenerative flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the load is less than a threshold load, and operate the manifold to provide non-regenerative flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the load is greater than or equal to the threshold load.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, and a lift assembly. The lift assembly includes a positioning member, an interface member coupled to a distal end of the positioning member and configured to engage with a refuse container, an actuator coupled to the positioning member to facilitate repositioning of the interface member and one or more position sensors configured to measure a position of the interface member. The refuse vehicle also includes a return assist system configured to receive a user input to engage the interface member with the refuse container, determine an original position of the refuse container based on the position of the interface member when the user input is received, reposition, using the actuator, the interface member to empty the refuse container into the body, and return the refuse container to the original position.

A refuse vehicle including a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis and configured to engage a support surface to support the refuse vehicle, a refuse compartment coupled to the chassis, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and configured to lift a refuse container to transfer refuse from the refuse container into the refuse compartment, and a light projector coupled to the chassis and positioned to emit a light onto the support surface to define a target area. The target area represents a range of positions within which the lift assembly is capable of engaging the refuse container.

A control system is provided for control of an organic material handling system. A modular system and method for improving the receiving, processing, storing, and transloading of bulk materials such as organic waste. A system includes at least a receiving module to receive material, a storage module, a discharge module, and a control system. Systems can be adapted with additional modules, such as processing modules and transfer modules, depending on the site and materials to be handled. The storage module has a levelling component for levelling out the organic material stored therein, and a removal component for discharging the organic material. The control system interfaces with the modular components and local operators, and provides remote reporting and monitoring.

An electrified vehicle includes a chassis and a plurality of battery cells positioned along the chassis. The chassis includes a right frame member and a left frame member spaced apart in a lateral direction. The right frame member and the left frame member both include vertical portions, first end portions extending from first ends of the vertical portions towards each other, and second end portions extending from second ends of the vertical portions towards each other. The right frame member and the left frame member are configured to support a cab and a body. The right frame member and the left frame member extend lengthwise in a longitudinal direction. The plurality of battery cells are coupled with the right frame member and the left frame member by fasteners that couple with the vertical portions of the right frame member and the left frame member.

An automatic control system for a refuse vehicle includes a mode select switch disposed within the vehicle that generates a mode select signal based on input from an operator of the vehicle, a control mechanism disposed within the vehicle that operates in response to the mode select signal, and a plurality of sensors adapted to sense a plurality of characteristics of the vehicle and adapted to communicate the plurality of sensed characteristics. The system further includes a control module that receives control instructions from the control mechanism and selectively controls at least one component of a plurality of components of the vehicle based on the mode select signal, at least one of the plurality of sensed characteristics, and the control instructions.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a cab, a body assembly coupled with the chassis, and a lift assembly. The body assembly defines a refuse compartment. The lift assembly can be configured to engage a refuse container. The refuse vehicle further comprises a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system that is configured to deliver air to the cab via a plurality of ducts. The refuse vehicle further includes a controller configured to receive data from one or more sensors, determine, based on the received data, that an interlock condition is present, and alter an operation of the HVAC system based on the interlock condition.
