Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) will transfer the latest MAZ-GTe electric garbage truck for pilot operation to the territory cleaning company "ZMK Ecology of the City." This was announced by Oksana Mikheeva, Deputy Director for Marketing of the plant, on the sidelines of the International Industrial Exhibition "Innoprom. Belarus."
The MAZ-GTe on a 6x2 chassis is equipped with a rear loading system for solid municipal waste (MSW). For the convenience of the operator, a folding design of the rear tailgate has been developed (convenient when loading bulky waste). The waste unloading process can be controlled from the cab or remotely using a remote control.
Features of the MAZ-GTe garbage truck:
- Silent operation

The garbage truck is unique in that the developers have implemented an onboard "black box" in it. The device records and analyzes the operation of the MAZ-GTe.
