Crane Carrier Company (CCC), a Battle Motors truck manufacturing company, has made its first delivery of battery-powered, electric refuse trucks to New York City with Liberty Ashes, Inc. Liberty Ashes will be using the Battle One Severe Duty Refuse (formerly LET) and Battle One Crew Cab (formerly LET2) trucks to service customers in the Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Nassau and Suffolk areas.

In February 2020, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order mandating a fully electric municipal fleet by 2040.

Liberty Ashes will be one of the first private sanitation and recycling companies to purchase and utilize electric refuse trucks throughout the greater metro New York area. The fleet intends to use power generated from eight of their own solar stations to charge the Battle One trucks, Battle Motors says.
