Electric power take-off for a refuse vehicle

A vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• an energy storage device supported by the chassis and configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover, wherein activation of the prime mover selectively drives the vehicle;
• a body for storing refuse therein supported by the chassis;
• an electric power take-off system positioned on the body, the electric power take-off system including an electric motor and a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, wherein the electric motor drives the hydraulic pump to convert the electrical power into hydraulic power;
• and
• a disconnect electrically coupled between the energy storage device and the electric power take-off system, wherein the disconnect is configured to selectively decouple the electric motor from the energy storage device,
• wherein the electric motor and the hydraulic pump are positioned within a housing coupled to the body, and wherein the disconnect is positioned outside the housing, and
• wherein a thermal management system is received within the housing and configured to facilitate heat transfer from the housing.

• and
• a subsystem coupled to the body and moveable using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system,
• wherein at least one of the electric motor or the hydraulic pump is positioned within a cabinet housing formed alongside the body, and the other of the at least one of the electric motor or the hydraulic pump is positioned within a body housing positioned on the body, and
• wherein a thermal management system is received within at least one of the cabinet housing or the body housing and configured to provide cooling air into the at least one of the cabinet housing or the body housing.
