BRIEF

The BYD T5 Pure Electric Side Loader Garbage Truck is a forward-looking solution designed to meet the dual challenges of increasingly stringent urban emission regulations and the growing demand for cleaner, quieter municipal services. Built on BYD’s dedicated electric light-duty truck platform, it combines the company’s fully integrated electric powertrain—including a 150kW permanent magnet synchronous motor and advanced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology—with a purpose-built side-loading compaction body. Unlike conventional retrofit conversions, the BYD T5 is engineered as a factory-integrated vehicle, ensuring optimal weight distribution, superior reliability, and seamless coordination between the chassis and sanitation system. For municipalities and fleet operators pursuing carbon-reduction goals, it provides a practical pathway toward zero-emission waste collection without compromising performance.

Powered by BYD’s proprietary BYD-2912TZ-XY-A motor, delivering 150kW peak output and 110kW rated power, the vehicle offers zero tailpipe emissions and exceptionally low noise levels. The 6m³ refuse body, constructed from Q345 manganese steel, provides outstanding durability and corrosion resistance. Its side-loading system enables the driver to complete the entire collection process without leaving the cab. Hydraulic lifting cycles are completed in less than 50 seconds, while unloading takes under 45 seconds. With a compaction ratio exceeding 1:2, the vehicle effectively doubles its carrying capacity, while the integrated 200–300L wastewater tank prevents leachate leakage during transport.

The BYD T5 features a PLC-based intelligent control system with one-touch automated cycling, enabling single-operator operation and reducing driver workload. Compatible with 120L and 240L waste bins, it integrates seamlessly into existing collection networks. Safety is enhanced through WABCO ABS braking technology, while its 3,300mm wheelbase delivers excellent maneuverability in urban environments. Compared with diesel vehicles, electric operation can reduce energy costs by 60–70% while significantly lowering maintenance requirements, making the side loader garbage truck an ideal solution for modern municipal waste collection.

FEATURES

1. BYD Integrated Electric Powertrain

Powered by a BYD permanent magnet synchronous motor (BYD-2912TZ-XY-A) delivering 150kW peak power and 110kW rated power, the truck is equipped with BYD’s proven lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system (27kWh, 540V). The fully integrated electric powertrain provides zero tailpipe emissions, low-noise operation, and outstanding reliability, making it ideal for residential waste collection and low-emission urban zones.

2. Efficient Side Loading with One-Person Operation

The side-loading mechanism allows the entire collection process to be completed without the driver leaving the cab, improving productivity while reducing labor requirements. Hydraulic lifting cycles are completed in ≤50 seconds, with unloading in ≤45 seconds. Both automatic and manual operating modes are available for flexible and intuitive operation.

3. Heavy-Duty, Corrosion-Resistant Body

The 6m³ refuse body is manufactured from Q345 high-strength manganese steel, featuring 3mm side panels and a 4mm reinforced floor for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Its modern arc-shaped body enhances structural strength, while the hydraulically sealed rear door effectively prevents wastewater leakage and odor during transport.

4. High Compaction Efficiency

With a compaction ratio of 1:2 or higher, the hydraulic compression system significantly increases payload capacity, allowing more waste to be collected in each trip. The result is higher collection efficiency, lower operating costs, and reduced transportation frequency for municipal fleets.

5. Integrated Leachate Collection System

A built-in 200–300L wastewater tank collects leachate generated during waste transport, preventing secondary pollution and keeping roads cleaner. This feature is particularly beneficial in warm climates where organic waste produces higher liquid runoff.

6. Compatible with Standard Waste Bins

The lifting mechanism is designed to accommodate 120L and 240L standard waste bins, allowing seamless integration with existing municipal collection systems without requiring additional equipment or infrastructure modifications.

7. Intelligent Controls and Reliable Safety

A PLC-based electronic control system with one-touch automatic cycling simplifies daily operation and minimizes driver fatigue. The hydraulic system operates at 18MPa for dependable performance, while WABCO ABS braking and multiple leaf-spring suspension configurations provide excellent stability and control under full-load conditions.

8. Compact Size for Urban Applications

With overall dimensions of 6,780 × 2,350 × 2,870mm and a 3,300mm wheelbase, the BYD T5 offers excellent maneuverability in narrow residential streets and densely populated urban environments. Combined with 7.00R16LT tires and optimized approach and departure angles, it is well suited for efficient curbside waste collection.
