CLW 8.5 m³ Electric Food-Waste Truck for Urban Organic-Waste Routes
A 12.5-tonne pure-electric food-waste truck for restaurants, markets, hotels and municipal organic-waste routes. The source verifies an 8.5 m³ tank and auxiliary water tanks. Range, charging, bin interface, LHD, axle loads and Ghana compliance require final confirmation.

Core capabilities in operation
Capabilities are shown with their operating conditions. Route productivity varies with waste density, stop frequency, access and haul distance.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.5 m³ sealed food-waste collection | Provides a sealed 8.5 m³ nominal tank volume for segregated organic waste. | Usable payload depends on waste density and liquid content. | Waste density, liquid content, payload and axle-load limits. |
| Electric route operation | Provides zero-tailpipe-emission operation on the collection route. | Requires a confirmed route energy model and charging supply. | Payload, stop frequency, road grade, auxiliary loads, temperature and charging plan. |
| Clean-water and wastewater management | Carries separate 250 L clean-water and 500 L wastewater volumes. | Final plumbing, wash procedure and discharge point must be specified. | Plumbing layout, wash procedure, drainage point and tank maintenance. |

Configuration options and trade-offs
- Pure-electric powertrain: Reduces tailpipe emissions and noise but requires charging infrastructure and duty-cycle planning.
- Stainless-steel body: Supports corrosion resistance but must be confirmed in the signed build specification.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Segregated food and organic waste
- Urban routes with a confirmed charging plan
- Sites with defined cleaning and drainage procedures
Not recommended for
- Unsegregated hazardous waste
- Routes without charging access or energy validation
- Operation without confirmed cleaning and drainage procedures
Frequently asked questions
What tank capacity is verified?
The source identifies an 8.5 m³ food-waste tank, plus 250 L clean-water and 500 L wastewater tanks.
Is 270 km guaranteed on Ghana routes?
No. It is a source-listed range that must be validated for payload, stops, climate, grade, auxiliary loads and charging conditions.
What charging system is included?
The source identifies the battery capacity but not a complete Ghana charging specification. Voltage, connector and charger must be confirmed.
This CLW pure-electric food-waste truck is intended for restaurant, hotel, market, canteen and municipal organic-waste collection where sealed transport and auxiliary water capacity are required.
