Automation also improves operational efficiency, enabling faster & more precise waste collection. As a result, the demand for garbage trucks with advanced automation features is increasing as businesses and municipalities seek to optimize their waste management operations.
 

High maintenance and operational costs associated with garbage trucks can pose challenges to industry development. Garbage trucks require regular maintenance including servicing hydraulic systems and other components. These maintenance requirements can be costly, especially for older trucks or those with specialized features. In addition, fuel, insurance, and labor expenses contribute to the overall cost of operating a garbage truck fleet. These high costs can strain the profitability of waste management companies or municipalities, resulting in a reluctance to invest in new trucks or upgrade the existing ones.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The pandemic disrupted supply chains and manufacturing processes, leading to delays in the production and delivery of new garbage trucks. This affected the ability of waste management companies to replace aging vehicles or expand fleets, thereby restricting garbage truck market expansion. The pandemic also highlighted the importance of maintaining hygiene and sanitation standards thereby spurring the need for technologically advanced garbage trucks.
