Solutions and products displayed in the McNeilus booth include:
- The McNeilus® Volterra™ ZSL™: The first fully integrated electric refuse collection vehicle (eRCV) in North America delivers outstanding overall total cost of ownership. The purpose-built Volterra ZSL eRCV features a driver-first design and technology to optimize ease of operation, safety, visibility, maneuverability and comfort. Since its introduction at Waste Expo 2023, the Volterra ZSL eRCV has earned multiple zero-emission certifications from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB).

The McNeilus Zero Radius™ Side Loader, with integrated ePTO technology, features common component placement, most notably the high-voltage disconnect and consistent service parts for streamlined maintenance and training. This technology meets zero-emissions requirements and enables optimal, quiet and consistent performance.
- The McNeilus® Meridian™ Front Loader: Highlighting how the company has transformed front loader collection for commercial and residential routes, the Meridian Front Loader is partially made with SSAB Fossil-free™ steel, driving sustainability and helping customers control their carbon footprint. Additionally, reinforcements to specific body components and streamlined hydraulics provide performance and efficiency upgrades.
- McNeilus® CartSeeker™ Curbside Automation: An advanced AI-based system with cameras, light detection and ranging technology which identifies residential waste carts. Another feature of the CartSeeker™ system automates alignment and the lift arm’s dump cycle to assist with operational efficiency. This technology is being featured through an interactive kiosk.
- ClearSky™ by McNeilus® Telematics: McNeilus’ ClearSky telematics system offers a unique and complete view of overall fleet health by combining data from body and chassis systems to provide usage information and predictive maintenance capabilities, simplifying and optimizing fleet management. ClearSky™ by McNeilus® telematics is being showcased through a demonstration of the system’s fleet management dashboard.
Reflecting its commitment to supporting industry partnerships, McNeilus is again donating to the Environmental Research and Education Foundation’s (EREF) annual charitable auction at Waste Expo.
