SWEEPING “REAL SUSTAINABILITY” TODAY
Going electric isn’t just about a cleaner world. Sustainability can support efficiency, productivity, and better business, too.
Lower costs start at the charging stations.
Per mile, electricity is less expensive than diesel and gasoline. But the value of going electric is about more than what powers the vehicles. With technologies like telematics and managed charging, everything is connected, from how your electric sweeper runs routes to when they plug into your charging stations. This increased integration and planning can enable fleets to charge when it’s most efficient and avoid costly demand charges, leading to significant savings over time.
Longer electric sweeper service intervals kick savings into gear.
The differences between electric trucks and their diesel counterparts go far beyond power sources. Electric trucks have a much simpler design that features fewer moving parts. Ultimately, that translates into longer service intervals, fewer operational disruptions, and less downtime on repairs in the long run.
Batteries, electric motors, and electronics typically need little to no maintenance. Brakes last longer, too, thanks to brake regeneration, which enables the motor to slow the vehicle down by converting mechanical motion back into an electrical charge that can be stored in the batteries. Did we mention no diesel, no oil, no DEF?
Reduced sweeper noise keeps drivers happy for a positive bottom line.
One of the places where electric sweepers make the most significant impact is on the job. The M6 Avalanche EV rides smoothly and doesn’t create any fuel odors or noise pollution, which can contribute to a more pleasant working environment throughout the day. And the happier operators are, the more likely they will keep working hard for your business.
Electric sweepers are powerful – and powerfully efficient.
The first time you operate the M6 Avalanche EV, its acceleration might surprise you. That’s because an electric truck can provide near-instant, maximum torque at low RPMs – essentially from a standing start. But why is instant torque important? Not only does it enable the truck to get up to speed quickly and transfer power to the sweep gear more efficiently, but it also takes less force to do so. More efficient power leads to significant savings on charging costs.
