Abstract

A motor vehicle collects paper. The motor vehicle includes a collection compartment configured to receive the paper. It also includes at least one of a bin lifting device configured to lift a bin to deposit the paper in the collection compartment and a moving floor configured to transport the paper within the collection compartment. The motor vehicle further includes at least one battery disposed within or attached to the collection compartment configured to power an actuator for at least one of the bin lifting device and the moving floor.

Claims

1. A motor vehicle for collecting paper, comprising:

a collection compartment configured to receive the paper;

at least one of;

a bin lifting device configured to lift a bin to deposit the paper in the collection compartment; and

a moving floor configured to transport the paper within the collection compartment; and

at least one battery disposed within or attached to the collection compartment configured to power an actuator for at least one of the bin lifting device and the moving floor.

2. The motor vehicle of claim 1, wherein the bin lifting device lifts the bin and the paper to move the bin and the paper from outside of the collection compartment to inside of the collection compartment.

3. The motor vehicle of claim 1, wherein the moving floor transports the paper within the collection compartment.

4. The motor vehicle of claim 1, wherein the moving floor discharges the paper from the collection compartment.
