Colombia 16cbm Isuzu Heli design Rear Loaders Truck，also named Isuzu heli compactor garbage truck or Heli compression garbage truck on Isuzu chassis. Colombia urgently needs to upgrade its sanitation system. POWERSTAR TRUCKS customized a 16-cubic-meter rear-mounted compression truck for it, which uses the Isuzu GIGA chassis and 6HK1 engine, and is designed specifically for the local terrain and climate. The vehicle has a 40% increase in efficiency and a 25% lower cost than Europe and the United States, complying with Colombia's new environmental regulations. In the future, the market will accelerate technological iteration and develop towards new energy and intelligence. This cooperation will help improve the urban environment in Colombia.
A new chapter in Colombia's sanitation upgrade: Chinese smart manufacturing helps cities achieve sustainable development
With the population of cities such as Bogota and Medellin exceeding 10 million, Colombia is facing the challenge of inefficient garbage disposal. Currently, 60% of the country's sanitation vehicles are old equipment, and the average daily garbage removal volume only reaches 75% of the actual demand. This time, the Colombian environmental service provider chose POWERSTAR TRUCKS to customize 16 cubic meters of rear-mounted compression vehicles in batches, precisely because of the integration advantages of Chinese equipment manufacturing and Japanese Isuzu technology.

The core advantages of customized solutions
This batch of vehicles uses the American special version of Isuzu GIGA chassis, equipped with a 6HK1 engine (300 horsepower/220kW) that meets the Euro V derivative standard, and the turbocharging parameters are specially adjusted for the Andes terrain. The combination of a 9-speed manual transmission and a 16-cubic-meter HELI patented compression box increases the efficiency of a single operation by 40% compared with existing local equipment. It is worth mentioning that the anti-corrosion coating of the box adopts a special formula for tropical climates, which can effectively resist the high salt spray environment in the coastal areas of Colombia.
