Tesla Co-Founder Starts Building Sustainable Garbage Trucks

• True Activist

His new company Wrightspeed is developing a clean electric powertrain specifically designed for large trucks. Right now, the focus is specifically on garbage trucks, but this same type of design can be applied to large vehicles of all types, something that modern electric car technology has not yet taken into consideration.

The powertrain will cost between $150,000 and $200,000 to install, but could cut maintenance and gas costs significantly. Wrightspeed has already sold 25 electric powertrains to FedEx and 17 to the Ratto Group for their garbage trucks.
