A refuse vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body assembly coupled to the chassis;
- a prime mover coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body assembly;
- an exhaust outlet fluidly coupled to the prime mover, the exhaust outlet configured to emit exhaust gas generated by the prime mover;
- a battery configured to store electrical energy received from the prime mover;
- and
- an electric power take-off (E-PTO) system comprising a plurality of components positioned within a housing that is coupled to the body assembly, the housing positioned rearward of a plane defined by a rearward surface of the exhaust outlet, the plurality of components of the E-PTO system comprising an electric motor electrically coupled to the battery and a hydraulic pump, the electric motor configured to be driven by electrical energy provided by the battery to drive the hydraulic pump to provide pressurized hydraulic fluid to an accessory of the refuse vehicle,
- wherein at least one of:
- the body assembly comprises a body defining a refuse compartment configured to store refuse, the body comprising a roof portion defining a top portion of the refuse compartment, the housing of the E-PTO system coupled to the roof portion of the body assembly at a first location rearward of the plane, wherein at least one of:
- the body assembly further comprises a tailgate pivotably coupled to the body, the housing of the E-PTO system being a modular housing that is selectively repositionable on the body assembly between being coupled to the roof portion of the body assembly at the first location and the tailgate of the body assembly at a second location rearward of the plane;
- the housing of the E-PTO system is coupled to a downward facing surface of the roof portion such that the plurality of components are positioned within the refuse compartment;
- or
- the housing of the E-PTO system is positioned between a top door of the body assembly and the roof portion when the top door is in an open configuration, the top door movably coupled to the top portion, the top door repositionable between a closed configuration where the top door covers an opening defined in the top portion and configured to provide access into the refuse compartment through the top portion and the open configuration where at least a portion of the opening is not covered by the top door;
- the refuse vehicle further comprises a cab coupled to the chassis forward of the body assembly, the housing of the E-PTO system coupled to the body assembly at a location rearward of the plane, the location positioned between the cab and the body assembly such that at least a portion of the housing is positioned between the cab and the body assembly;
- or
- the body assembly comprises a body defining a refuse compartment configured to store refuse and the tailgate pivotably coupled to the body by a pivot connection, the tailgate configured to pivot relative to the body between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the housing of the E-PTO system coupled to the tailgate a location rearward of the plane.
