New Way Trucks leads the refuse industry in environmentally sustainable options for our customers. New Way is further along in fuel cell-electric vehicle (FCEV) and battery-electric vehicle (BEV) applications than any other refuse equipment body manufacturer, and these New Way units are working and on routes every day.

New Way has chassis integration projects underway with every major chassis manufacturer in North America. Our Battle Motors (Crane Carrier Company) and Build Your Dreams (BYD) units are on route daily, and development partnerships are underway with Autocar, Mack, and Peterbilt that focus on developing software enhancements, operator assists, and pack system efficiencies to help maximize battery life and make the collection operations more intuitive for electric vehicle applications. Several more New Way BEV refuse collection vehicles are on order for private haulers and municipalities across the nation.

In addition, a fair portion of all New Way refuse trucks are built to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). Larger municipalities and private waste haulers of all sizes have made long-term commitments to convert their entire fleets to either BEV or CNG trucks. New Way is well-equipped to help meet the sustainability goals which municipalities and private haulers have implemented.

New Way is a certified installer for all leading providers of CNG fuel systems including Hexagon Agility and Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies. There are numerous options for mounting CNG fuel systems. These include back-of-cab mounts, tailgate mounts, frame rail/side mounts, roof mounts, and custom hybrid designs to accommodate unique customer challenges. New Way engineers carefully analyze each chassis and situation to determine the ideal placement for each CNG fuel system.

Ordering a BEV or CNG refuse truck from New Way assures you’ll be driving the greatest value in BEV and CNG refuse collection. CNG systems are currently available on most New Way models, and we continue to work with leading fuel system providers to optimize design integrations.

New Way Trucks is proud to help drive the industry forward by manufacturing environmentally sustainable refuse equipment for our customers. As a leader and steward of innovation in refuse truck body manufacturing, it is up to us to forge a new way forward that includes an emphasis on sustainability. We have played a major role in affecting positive, sustainable change for our customers and the public they serve on their routes.
