A big part of this push is building an electric charging depot at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. Picture a facility with 32 fast chargers—8 of them set up for large Class 8 trucks—and room for smaller EVs, electric bikes, and scooters as well. This hub, backed by NYCEDC and developed by MN8 Energy, even includes a training center to help the community learn green‑tech jobs.

Mack Trucks is already on the ground, delivering its first LR Electric refuse truck to Royal Waste Services. That truck comes with:

• A 376 kWh battery (42% more energy and longer range than older versions)
• Twin electric motors delivering 448 hp and 4,051 lb‑ft torque from zero RPM
• Regenerative braking and fast charging using a standard 150 kW SAE J1772 connector

“This delivery represents more than just a new vehicle,” explained Mack Trucks North America President Jonathan Randall. “It’s a tangible step toward advancing sustainable transportation and demonstrates how the transportation industry can support community environmental goals. The Mack LR Electric offers zero‑emission operation while providing Royal Waste Services with a reliable solution for its operations.”

Royal Waste Services’ district manager, Michael Angelo Reali, added:

“Integrating this zero-emission Mack LR Electric into our fleet demonstrates that electric refuse collection can be both operationally effective and environmentally responsible.”
“This partnership with Mack Trucks and the broader Bronx Is Breathing initiative allows us to serve the Hunts Point community while reducing our environmental footprint and supporting the transition to cleaner transportation solutions.”

Later this year, Volvo Trucks North America plans to add four Class 7 VNR Electric trucks—plus refrigerated EV units—for City Harvest food rescue operations, all charging at the new Hunts Point hub.

Development is expected to get going in 2026. When it’s complete, the hub will support heavy trucks, vans, e-bikes, and more. Trucker tech and community training will go hand in hand, making this a rare combo of sustainable freight and local economic investment.

For drivers, this signals a bigger trend: electrification is coming to urban routes where operational stops and starts match EV strengths. Advanced trucks like the Mack LR Electric are already proving that they can juggle performance, range, and reliability—especially in tight urban settings.

The show truck, designed to meet the evolving needs of American truckers, is equipped with a unique hybrid powertrain system. It features both a diesel engine and an electric motor, allowing drivers to switch seamlessly between diesel for long hauls and electricity for areas with strict emission regulations.

“Drivers should not have to choose between losing their longtime routes because of changing regulatory environments or losing the truck in which they have already made significant investments,” Gardner said. “American truckers want their trucks to reflect their identity, and our retrofit technology allows them to continue driving the trucks they love while still making a living.”

A Hybrid That Runs Like a Diesel Truck

Unlike fully electric trucks, ReVolt’s hybrid system eliminates the burdens of massive battery weights. The system uses a diesel engine and generator to charge the batteries, which then power the electric drivetrain. What does this mean for truckers?

• Comparable Range: The truck offers almost the same mileage as a traditional diesel truck. On an all-electric mode—with uses like port operations or areas with strict emissions—it provides a range of approximately 100 miles.

• Potent Performance: The hybrid system delivers 670 horsepower and 3,500 lb.-ft. of torque, making the truck as powerful as its diesel-only counterparts.

• Heavy-Haul Capability: With a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 130,000 pounds, the retrofitted Peterbilt 379 can handle overweight loads with ease.

Cost-Effective and Environmentally Friendly

One of ReVolt’s primary goals is to make hybrid retrofitting an affordable solution for truckers. While final pricing remains under wraps, the company aims to keep costs comparable to those of a routine “million-mile” overhaul. A new electric semi can cost upwards of $500,000, so retrofitting offers a more accessible path to modernization for owner-operators and fleet managers alike.

Fuel efficiency is where the retrofit shines. ReVolt’s system averages at least 12 MPG in targeted applications, generating 40% fuel savings. It also integrates regenerative braking and an efficient range extender to charge batteries, reducing emissions while maximizing operational efficiency.

The retrofit eliminates the need for a separate auxiliary power unit (APU). Drivers can enjoy nearly unlimited heating and cooling in their sleeper cabins without idling, cutting costs further while reducing potential maintenance issues.

A New Era of Efficiency and Sustainability

ReVolt Motors has positioned its diesel-electric hybrid retrofit technology as a cleaner, more reliable, and cost-effective solution for the changing trucking landscape. By offering a 40% reduction in emissions, increased fuel efficiency, and the ability to reduce dependence on diesel fuel, ReVolt’s retrofit helps drivers and fleets stay ahead in an evolving market.
