Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
Basel's council approved about 19 million francs for the first twelve vehicles together with chargers — one of the few public sums in this database, but it covers infrastructure, so it is not a vehicle price. The 190 kWh per 100 km cannot be compared with a tractor: a refuse truck powers a body and stands still more than it drives. Replaced by the Low Cab.
Strengths
- Consumption of 190 kWh/100 km was measured in refuse-collection work, giving the Collect 26E at least one concrete operating point.
Weaknesses
- The manufacturer publishes no range, and the 190 kWh/100 km figure was measured without a body, so it does not describe a finished refuse truck.

- No range figure published; Designwerk quotes 190 kWh/100 km in refuse-collection duty, which implies roughly 175 km from 340 kWh gross but that is a derivation, not a manufacturer figure

Price and availability
What it costs and whether it is available in Poland
Published price evidence and the Polish availability answer, kept together for a buying decision.
The manufacturer publishes no price for this vehicle.
In heavy transport that is the rule rather than the exception — makers quote on request.
The Grand Council of the City of Basel approved a budget of about CHF 19 m (roughly EUR 17 m) for the first twelve Collect 26E refuse trucks PLUS the associated charging stations - about CHF 1.6 m per truck-and-charger package, and Basel later reported the actual procurement came in around 30 % cheaper than budgeted. This is a bundled municipal budget line, not a vehicle list price.

Sources and research
Research notes
The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.
26 t electric refuse collector, 500 kW output, two 170 kWh packs in the Large version = 340 kWh, 190 kWh/100 km in collection duty. Twelve units ordered by the City of Basel, first deliveries from end-2020. Superseded in the current catalogue by the Econic-based Low Cab. IMAGE GAP: no direct-file URLs found. PRICE IS THE BEST DATA POINT IN THIS GROUP but it is a bundled municipal budget covering trucks plus charging infrastructure, so treat the per-unit figure as indicative only.
