The trend of hanging bucket garbage trucks in the industry
Technological iteration: New energy and intelligent dual wheel drive
As the core equipment of urban environmental sanitation, the industry trend of hanging bucket garbage trucks is undergoing multidimensional and deep changes. The following analysis will be conducted from four levels: technological iteration, policy driven, market pattern, and social demand:
1. Accelerated penetration of new energy
The penetration rate continues to rise: by 2024, the penetration rate of new energy sanitation vehicles will reach 13.36%, with bucket mounted models accounting for over 30%. In some cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the penetration rate has exceeded 20%.
Breakthrough in Hydrogen Energy Technology Pilot: Baiyun District, Guangzhou has deployed 95 hydrogen powered construction waste transport vehicles, reducing carbon emissions by over 800 tons. The energy conversion rate of hydrogen fuel cells has reached over 50%, and the range has been increased to 400 kilometers.
2. Intelligent reconstruction of homework mode
Implementation of autonomous driving technology: Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone piloted L4 level autonomous garbage trucks, which use laser radar and AI algorithms to automatically identify garbage bins, accurately hang bins, and plan routes. The daily operating efficiency of a single vehicle has been improved by 40%.
Connected vehicles and big data applications: Integrating DeepSeek big models into vehicle systems to monitor real-time garbage volume, energy consumption, and fault warnings, improving scheduling efficiency by 30%. Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other places display the location of vehicles through the APP, and residents can make appointments for "off peak transportation".
Modular design: The rear mounted compression garbage truck supports seamless switching between various loading methods such as hanging buckets and buckets, adapting to the needs of garbage classification and increasing loading capacity by 20%.


Policy driven: Dual carbon targets and local practices
1. National strategic guidance
China's "dual carbon" goal promotes the electrification of public sector vehicles, with a target of 30% penetration rate of new energy sanitation vehicles by 2025. Shanghai Pudong New Area plans to achieve 100% new energy conversion of garbage trucks by 2025, with a single electric bucket garbage truck reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 12 tons per year.
The European "2035 Ban on Fuel Vehicles Act" is forcing car companies to transform, and Germany's Heil has launched a "solar charging" bucket car, with rooftop photovoltaic panels meeting 50% of energy consumption needs.
2. Local policy innovation
Pingyao, Shanxi has equipped 10 administrative villages with new energy bin lorrys, achieving a closed-loop system of "household input village collection town transportation", and reducing the retention time of rural garbage from 24 hours to 4 hours.
The promotion of side mounted bucket trucks in Hengzhou City, Guangxi has reduced the daily bending frequency of sanitation workers from 800 to 50 times, resulting in a 94% decrease in labor intensity.


Market Pattern: Parallel Globalization and Localization
1. Chinese enterprises dominate the global market
Export acceleration: By 2024, China's automobile exports will reach 4.855 million units, including 755000 commercial vehicles, with self loading and unloading garbage trucks accounting for about 15%.
Technical output: Jiaxiang County has launched a "hand-operated bucket hanging car" for the Southeast Asian market, suitable for rural dirt roads, with an annual sales volume of over 500 units.
2. Increased international competition
McNeilus from the United States has launched the "hydraulic compression+anti-corrosion" technology to extend the service life of vehicles in humid environments; Japan has developed a "cherry blossom themed" bucket car, which integrates body painting with urban landscape to enhance brand image.
European companies are focusing on "smart sanitation", and Heil's "garbage composition analysis" function in Germany can detect garbage categories in real time, providing data support for classification and processing.


Social demand: refinement and humanization upgrade
1. Garbage classification drives vehicle innovation
Shanghai Tangqiao Street has implemented the "bucket for bucket" model, replacing traditional rear loading garbage trucks with flat lift trucks, reducing noise by 30 decibels and reducing leachate pollution by 90%.
A community in Hangzhou displayed the location of garbage trucks through an APP, allowing residents to make appointments for "off peak cleaning". The complaint rate decreased by 75%, and the accuracy of garbage classification increased to 92%.
2. Livelihood concerns drive design improvements
Side mounted bucket trucks have become mainstream, with sales increasing by 65% year-on-year in 2024. They are equipped with a low entry cab (step height<500mm) and wide-angle rearview mirrors to improve the working environment for sanitation workers.
In Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places, pilot "ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization" bucket cars are used to disinfect medical waste transportation routes every day to block the virus transmission chain.
The industry of hanging bucket garbage trucks is transforming from an "equipment supplier" to a "urban environmental solution service provider". In the next five years, new energy, intelligence, and globalization will become the core engines, and the benign interaction between policy support, technological innovation, and social demand will reshape the industry ecology. Enterprises need to focus on segmented scenarios (such as rural sanitation and medical waste transportation), strengthen their localization and adaptation capabilities, and participate in global standard setting through technological output in order to gain an advantage in the new round of industrial transformation.
