If you like cars, then the word “electric” is probably becoming more and more common. According to Wikipedia, “electricity is one of the oldest automobile propulsion methods still in use today. In 1897, electric vehicles found their first commercial application as a fleet of electrical New York City taxis, built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia, was established.”
Siemens PLM customer from Holland, Spjkstaal is following in the innovation footsteps by recently designing an electric specialty vehicle in Solid Edge using synchronous modeling. The “Binkie” is the first electric garbage truck with a field press container on its end. Its performance is so good that it can easily compete with gas fueled garbage trucks and can pick up as many tons of garbage as a conventional garbage truck. It’s clean, quiet, and economical.
