Our 100% electric product line

Our innovative Boivin EVolution product line stands out from all other offerings on the market as the first to work exclusively with electricity.

BOIVIN EVOLUTION ELECTRIC AUTOMATED GARBAGE TRUCK

The Boivin EVolution forever changes refuse collection and the way haulers view electric-powered garbage trucks. The all-electric design and powerful features offer unbeatable sustainability benefits while not sacrificing performance, range, or chassis options. Boivin EVolution is proud to provide real-world solutions that can streamline businesses and improve bottom lines. Contact your local Boivin EVolution regional sales manager for more information or a demo.

THE FUTURE OF REFUSE COLLECTION IS NOW

The Boivin EVolution automated side loader was developed with a mission of revolutionizing refuse collection. The 100% electric arm and auger compactor allows fleets to reduce their environmental footprint by reducing fuel use and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, while also eliminating hydraulic oil spills. This combination enables the operation of a fully-electric automated refuse collection vehicle (“RCV”), versus hybrid technologies that adapt a traditional hydraulic body to a battery-powered chassis and still require hydraulic hoses to operate the body functions.

 

IMPROVE YOUR SUSTAINABILITY.
IMPROVE YOUR BOTTOM LINE.

The Boivin EVolution electric side loader is more environmentally friendly than any other standard automated truck on the market.

  • 100% electric on-route – NO hydraulics – NO hydraulic leaks
  • Fuel savings of up to 35% on diesel chassis; 100% fuel savings on electric chassis
  • Easily charge overnight with plenty of energy for a day’s work
  • GHG reduction of 41 tons/year/truck on diesel chassis
  • Lighter body (less than 16,400 lbs.) – less fuel consumed – better payload

ALL THE BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC COLLECTION WITH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

The all-electric body features an arm with no kick-out, that provides a shake-free and smooth operation. The arm itself is much quieter, and does not have any hydraulics to power it. The auger compactor allows for compaction through the front wall of the body and unloading with a pack-through eject panel to discharge the waste. This design provides a self-cleaning hopper, and does not require tilting of the body to unload it. With all body and arm functions being battery powered, no energy is drawn from the engine to power the body and the arm.

FUEL SAVINGS

When the Boivin EVolution body is configured with a diesel-fuel chassis, fuel consumption is reduced by up to 30% when compared to a hydraulic body. This pairing can result in dramatic fuel savings per year.

When the Boivin EVolution body is configured with an electric-powered chassis, range is extended due to elimination of the power take-off from the EV chassis.

COMPLETELY SELF-POWERED - UNLIMITED CONFIGURATIONS

The Boivin EVolution electric side-loader can be configured to be completely self-powered with its own battery packs for conventional diesel, compressed natural gas (“CNG”), or electric power chassis, and can also be integrated into an electric-powered chassis to use a common battery pack. The energy-efficient BEV refuse body can complete a full ten-hour route on a single overnight charge, while packing ten tons of legal payload, and still have battery charge to spare. In addition, the use of electric garbage trucks offers waste haulers and their municipal waste customers a new technologically and economically viable tool to support their sustainability initiatives.

INFINITELY CUSTOMIZABLE CONFIGURATIONS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ROUTE PRODUCTIVITY

Available with electric powered chassis, with the option to integrate into the chassis to use a common battery pack.

Available with conventional diesel chassis.

Available with CNG chassis.

EJECTION PANEL

  • An electric motor is used to drive the ejection panel
  • Pack-through innovation (patent pending) provides full-eject capability (no tilt-to-dump)
  • Full-eject design improves stability at the landfill
  • Body fixed to frame allows for shortening wiring, simplified body installation
  • Large entrance points for easy access behind the ejector

LIFT ARM

  • Fast 8-second cycle time and precise arm motion enable highly productive refuse collection while on route
  • Shake-free, smooth operation reduces driver fatigue
  • No arm kick-out allows for the collection of refuse in alleyways and other tight areas
  • Fully electric arm is remarkably quiet and has no hydraulic hoses or tubes that can leak or break

ENERGY

  • 46 kWh Battery, Up to 400A available at 100V
  • More than 1,200 containers on an overnight battery charge (approx. 6-8 hours to charge)
  • No power required from a chassis diesel engine
  • Type 2 AC charging with 208/240 VAC shop power

AUGER

  • The auger, tapered from 30 inches to 24 inches, requires less energy than a typical compactor ram
  • Self-cleaning hopper to avoid material bridging
  • Sturdy endless auger design allows the refuse material to dump over it while in operation, so that the hopper clears quickly
  • Surface treatment on the hopper and auger is designed specifically for harsh material

BEV series components

AUTOMATIC ARM (patent pending)

  • Close grip, no outward deployment
  • 3 m (10 feet) reach for 120, 240 and 360 L (30, 60 and 90 gallons) bins
  • Lifting capacity of 227 kg (500 lbs)
  • 10 second cycle time
  • 3 functions driven by PMDC electric motors and various gearbox assemblies

AUGER COMPACTION

  • 4,6 m3/min (6 cu.yd/min) drive by unique planetary mechanism design to maximize compaction and develop 30800 Nm (22 600 lbs/ft) torque on refuse
  • Automatic torque and speed control allow the collection of garbage, recycling material and organics, without destroying the material and avoiding packing jam
  • Tapered screw allows 3-phases compaction of the material, radial compaction and axial compaction into the auger area followed by the final compaction phase inside the body

BATTERY

  • LiNMC high-density technology allows lightweight and quick recharge (4 to 8 hours) on a Type 2 charging station
