In a groundbreaking move, the Townsville Council has implemented innovation by integrating state-of-the-art smart technology into a fleet of six new trucks.
The vehicles are now equipped with the latest pedestrian protection technology, marking a significant step towards enhancing safety measures during waste collection operations.
The advanced technology is designed to substantially decrease the risk of pedestrians being struck by lifting arms or bins as they are raised or returned to the footpath.
This initiative is a first for the Council.
The implementation of the measures not only underscores the commitment to public safety but also positions the Council at the forefront of technological advancements in waste management.
