Driver-first Design.

driver-first-design-main

Driver comfort and safety come standard.

Our spacious cab puts the driver first by providing nearly 38% more space compared to the industry average. Combined with a flexible-designed interior, low 15″ step, direct visibility, active safety systems and streamlined controls, it’s an optimal workspace for drivers.

Low 15″ step height

With a step height that’s 2″ lower than industry standard, drivers can easily board and exit from the street or curbside. This can make a hard day’s work a little easier and contribute to reduced risk of injury on the job.

Direct visibility

Direct visibility helps drivers see obstacles and can help minimize potential incidents along the way.

More interior room

The fully integrated design of the cab puts the driver first with 38% more space compared to a traditional cab. This promotes driver alertness, boosts comfort and makes it easy to operate.

Elevated driver workspace

Drivers come in many shapes and sizes. That’s why our design and placement of the pedals, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, along with integrated controls and temperature-controlled seating.

Advanced Driver-Assistance System

Fully installed at the factory and standard on every McNeilus Volterra ZSL electric refuse collection vehicle, this integrated system includes blind-spot monitoring, 360° camera view, forward and rear collision notification, park assist, backup camera, rear cross traffic assist, lane departure warning and advanced emergency braking.

Driver Instrument Panel Display

The 12.3″ digital gauge cluster display keeps the driver informed with speed, odometer, battery regeneration, tire pressure, indicator lights, 360° camera images and more.

Productivity & Performance.

Built to outperform.

What happens when you combine dependable, high-performing trucks with cutting-edge refuse collection technology? You turn some heads. Our vehicle features the proven McNeilus Zero Radius™ vertical lift arm and a tight turning radius. Common components and intuitive, consistent placement of modules can help improve productivity and serviceability.

McNeilus Zero Radius™ vertical lift arm

The purpose-built vehicle features a 6-foot standard reach arm for dense city routes or a 12-foot reach arm for easy collection near parked cars. Proven, reliable performance for more than a decade for less maintenance and improved TCO.

Tight turning radius

From 57 to 67 feet, depending on configuration, the McNeilus Volterra ZSL lets drivers collect refuse without leaving the cab. It also helps maneuver around cul-de-sacs and tight corners with ease.

Serviceability

Real-time data and vehicle monitoring offers an optimized driver experience with tire pressure monitoring, automated daily checks, cloud-based telematics and DVR capabilities. It also enables condition-based maintenance to help reduce downtime. Serviceable components are accessible from the ground, without climbing or lifting equipment.

Right- and left-hand configurations

The fully integrated, purpose-built McNeilus Volterra ZSL cab can be configured in right- and left-hand drive configurations with seated and standing operator positions.

Driving toward a more sustainable future.

The purpose-built McNeilus Volterra ZSL can help achieve customer sustainability goals. The vehicle features an electrified drivetrain, e-axle architecture, smart battery system and cooperative regenerative braking to enable an all-day route on a single charge with zero emissions. It is certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

CARB and EPA certified

The McNeilus Volterra ZSL has earned three certifications from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). This provides customers a solution to achieve their sustainability goals and meet EV requirements.

Electrified Drivetrain

Advanced lithium-ion batteries and an electric-axle system help enable a full day’s refuse collection on a single charge with zero emissions. Plus, the vehicle has a B10 rating of 300,000 miles.

Smart Battery Management System

The intuitive system has advanced load-shedding capabilities based on critical levels and increases the number of battery charge/discharge cycles to preserve battery life. Also, if the remaining battery charge gets too low, the system will limit specific non-essential functions like HVAC.

High Battery Capacity

With a battery capacity approximately 20% higher on average, the vehicle delivers an extended range. This can help to service more homes and complete more routes.
