Tradition meets innovation<\/span><\/h2>\n

The world’s first all-electric compact sweeper in the 2-m3 class sets standards in terms of noise reduction, zero emissions and efficiency, without compromising on performance for inner-city area cleaning.<\/h4>\n

World-first CityCat 2020ev – a zero-emission all-electric sweeper<\/p>\n

Increasing globalisation, growing megacities and the associated environmental impact in terms of CO2, particulate matter and noise pollution have prompted Bucher Municipal to assume the responsibilities of a globally active company and develop the world’s first all-electric compact sweeper in the 2-m\u00b3 class for use in the professional area cleaning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Particular emphasis was placed on making the switch from a conventional sweeper to an electric vehicle as simple and uncomplicated as possible. This was the only way to ensure that the product would meet with broad acceptance on the market. For this purpose, electrification was implemented on the basis of the CityCat 2020, which has been tested in the market for years.<\/p>\n

A single sweeper can save around 26 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year (\u00a9 Bucher Municipal)Neither payload, suction nor sweeping performance were restricted as part of the electrification. Special attention was paid to the compatibility of ecology and economy. Thus, the CityCat 2020ev is significantly quieter, completely emission-free and, in the long run, more cost-effective than vehicles with a combustion engine. Thanks to the elimination of fossil fuels and the lower maintenance, service and repair costs, the operating costs are around 75% lower than for conventional diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the heart of the vehicle is a maintenance-free, high-performance 56 kWh lithium-ion battery, which enables the use of a complete shift of up to 8 hours.<\/p>\n
