Electric drives are a major trend in mobile equipment. While the industry of agricultural machinery is in the process of developing its first applications, municipal machines such as refuse collection vehicles already fulfil a leading role in this technology. Major drivers for the development of new vehicle systems are the expectation of substantial fuel savings, reduction of environmental emissions such as noise and pollution, as well as a higher performance flexibility. Several system solutions have demonstrated their benefits in extensive field testing and are now moving into series production. This paper centers on the example of the Faun DUALPOWER project that uses a dieselelectric hybrid drive system. Driven by an innovative OEM in co-operation with suppliers, and with a strong public interest demonstrated by government support, it has resulted in the successful launch of a new generation of refuse collection vehicles. As a consequence of a radically altered vehicle design, the entire system architecture had to be restructured to allow the most effective use of the new technology. Electric drives were chosen to fulfil the main propel and work functions of the vehicle during its operative duty cycle. At the same time, hydraulic solutions are still vitally necessary and most effective for auxiliary functions. The new source and distribution of drive power on the vehicle allowed Fluitronics as hydraulics partner to realize new ways to supply power to these functions and to even improve their performance compared to standard systems.
