LOUISVILLE, Colo. — The City of Louisville unveiled its first fleet of fully electric trash and recycling trucks Wednesday, saying the city was the first in the country to do so.

Louisville will completely replace its current fleet of trash and recycling trucks by the end of the year. This will contribute to the city's Sustainability Action Plan goals and Republic Services' goal to operate more than 50 EVs across the country by the end of 2024. The EVs will also have automated braking systems and sensors if drivers drift out of the lane lines, Republic Services said.

"The technology already has been proven in other cities with more challenging climates than ours," Louisville Mayor Chris Leh said."What's more, it is cost-competitive for our taxpayers."
