A refuse vehicle including an electric motor powered by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump, 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 target cycle time for the hydraulic actuator, and control a speed of the electric motor to achieve the target cycle time.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a body pivotally coupled to the chassis by a pivot assembly, and a lift actuator. The lift actuator includes a base portion positioned within the body and an actuator rod extending from the body and coupled to the chassis, such that the lift actuator is configured to lift and pivot the body relative to the chassis.

A refuse vehicle includes an electric motor powered by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump, and one or more processing circuits being configured to: determine a location of the refuse vehicle including a global position system coordinate, determine a position on a route map using the location, control the hydraulic actuator based on the position on the route map, determine a state of charge of the battery and a threshold for the state of charge below which operation of the electric motor, the hydraulic pump, or the hydraulic actuator is adjusted, and dynamically update the threshold based on the position on the route map or a weight of refuse in a refuse compartment.

Hauling containers, vehicles having hauling containers, and methods of forming and installing hauling containers are disclosed. In one aspect, a hauling container includes a body defining a storage volume of at least two cubic yards. The body is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. In another aspect, a vehicle includes a chassis and a hauling container removably mounted to the chassis. The hauling container includes a body defining a storage volume. The body is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. In yet another aspect, a method includes forming a body of a hauling container. The body defines a storage volume, and is formed, at least in part, of a polymer material or a non-metallic recyclable material, or both. The body is configured to sit on a chassis of a vehicle.
