Cities in Oregon have started using electric garbage trucks. Pretty awesome to see hear how much quieter they are.

I can't wait to not be woken up at 6:30am by the garbage truck!

People have absolutely no idea how electric vehicles will change cities. From here onward cities will continue to get quieter by the year.

The sound of that robot arm made my ears bleed

It would be much quieter if they wouldn't have the truck play that annoying "whirring" sound through an external speaker.

Now they just need a quieter robot arm since that's now the loudest part with the quiet EV truck. Would be a fun problem to solve - making a relatively quiet robotic arm to grab the garbage cans.

electric, diesel, all sounds the same when the high pitched screams of some poor guy getting squished in the back.

They are in a lot of large Chinese cities, including Chengdu and Nanjing. Here is a photo that I took today in Qingshanhu Sci-tech City near Hangzhou of an electric street sweeping truck. The big green box behind the cabin is the battery

Great progress 🔋

Quiet until it needs to back up, then BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP at 90db
