In an effort to move the city toward a more green and low-carbon future, Yichang transitioned to utilizing 132 new energy sanitation vehicles in Wujiagang District on March 26.
The fleet includes two large multifunctional deep cleaning vehicles and 30 self-compressing leak-proof waste collection trucks, plus an additional 100 e-tricycles.
The large deep-cleaning vehicles, measuring over nine meters in length and nearly three meters in width, are equipped with dual charging ports, enabling them to cover nearly 400 kilometers on a single charge. These vehicles can perform many tasks, including routine sweeping, intensive cleaning, water spraying and dust suppressing. The waste collection trucks are designed to collect and transport waste from streets and residential areas. The e-tricycles will be used by sanitation workers to patrol and sweep roads, enabling them for easy sweeping and the disposal of trash.
With these new energy sanitation vehicles in operation, annual emissions are expected to be reduced by nearly 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 70,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, the equivalent of planting about 7 hectares of trees.
