Introducing eSpeedline
Conventional Speedline bodies are connected to the mechanical power take-off (PTO) and electrical system of the chassis. One option when using a fully electric chassis together with a Speedline body could be to power the Speedline body using the vehicle batteries but our engineers determined that this approach would reduce the range and require relatively complex and costly integration. The new eSpeedline therefore has an integrated 40 kWh battery pack to power the bin lift and compaction system - completely independent of the chassis. The battery can be charged from a conventional threephase outlet, there is no need for a dedicated automotive charging point.
The new eSpeedline bodies come as standard with Terberg Connect telematics to make management and servicing more efficient.
Because the integrated battery reduces the need for integration with the chassis, the eSpeedline can easily be mounted to any chassis: electric, diesel or CNG. The eSpeedline was introduced at the 2022 IFAT trade fair in Munich and we already have a strong contingent of launch customers eager to combine it with an electric chassis.
The eSpeedline will enable our customers to reduce their carbon footprint, noise and particulate emissions. This will help improve the quality of our urban environments.
