Dodge Center, MN (September 9, 2026) – McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) business, today announced that ACE Recycling & Disposal, a leading refuse and recycling provider serving more than one million people each week across Utah and Wyoming, has added its first McNeilus® Volterra™ ZSL™ electric side loader refuse collection vehicle to its fleet. Sold through Siddons-Martin Environmental Group, the vehicle marks an important step in ACE Recycling & Disposal's commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency and providing drivers with advanced technology designed to promote safety and comfort.

As North America's most advanced fully integrated electric refuse and recycling collection vehicle, the McNeilus Volterra ZSL electric refuse collection vehicle (eRCV) combines a purpose-built electric platform with advanced refuse collection technology to help customers reduce emissions while maintaining the performance required for demanding residential collection routes.

"Forward-thinking customers like ACE Recycling & Disposal are helping shape the future of refuse and recycling collection by investing in innovative technologies that support their operations today while preparing for tomorrow," said Lee Dreas, president of McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing. "The McNeilus Volterra ZSL was designed from the ground up to deliver an exceptional driver experience, dependable all-day performance and the sustainability benefits fleets are seeking. We're proud to partner with Siddons-Martin Environmental Group to bring this vehicle to ACE."

After evaluating several electric refuse collection vehicles, ACE Recycling & Disposal selected the McNeilus Volterra ZSL following a demonstration that highlighted the vehicle's battery performance, advanced safety technologies and driver-focused design.

"We're always looking for ways to operate more sustainably while improving efficiency across our fleet," said Isaac Leituala, general manager of ACE Recycling & Disposal. "After evaluating several electric refuse collection vehicles, we were impressed by the Volterra ZSL's battery life and the overall driver experience. Our drivers especially appreciated the 360-degree camera system, and we're excited to continue to see the long-term operational and cost benefits as we integrate the truck into our fleet."

Purpose-built to meet the demands of residential refuse and recycling collection, the McNeilus Volterra ZSL features an advanced electric drivetrain, smart battery management system and cooperative regenerative braking to enable all-day route performance on a single charge. Certified as a zero-emission vehicle by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the vehicle helps fleets support sustainability initiatives while reducing emissions.

The McNeilus Volterra ZSL eRCV was engineered to promote both safety and comfort for operators. Key features include:

    • Driver-first cab design with nearly 38 percent more interior space than traditional refuse trucks and a low 15-inch step height for easy entry and exit.
    • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) including blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree camera views, forward and rear collision notifications, rear cross-traffic assist, lane departure warning and advanced emergency braking.
    • McNeilus Zero Radius™ vertical lift arm for reliable residential collection and enhanced maneuverability in tight neighborhoods.
    • Smart battery management and cloud-based telematics designed to optimize vehicle performance, maximize battery life and support condition-based maintenance.

As fleets continue exploring sustainable transportation solutions, the McNeilus Volterra ZSL electric vehicle demonstrates how purpose-built electric refuse and recycling collection vehicles can deliver the safety, productivity and operational performance customers expect while supporting long-term environmental goals.
