BYDClass 6

BYD 6R

The world's first commercial all-electric Class 6 refuse chassis, route-ready and silent.

The 6R carries roughly a 221 kWh battery and about 2,325 lb-ft of instant torque, letting a refuse fleet finish an entire daily collection route with zero tailpipe emissions and far quieter pre-dawn pickups.
