To meet the critical targets of Australia’s net zero goals, many local governments are electrifying their street cleaning fleet assets and finding the benefits are more than just emissions reduction.
More councils are investing in the sustainability of their fleets, meeting emissions reduction targets and delivering better, more environmentally friendly services for their residents.
Delivering clean, safe and attractive streets is an important service that councils provide. Traditionally however, conventional diesel-engine street sweeping machines have been a major source of complaints from community members, due to their exhaust emissions and disruptive noise.
Councils that procure the latest in electric street sweeping technology will not only be well on the way to meeting their climate goals but will also find significant positive outcomes for their communities and services.
The Citymaster 1650 ZE is the first all-electric city sweeper in the 3.5t class made by Hako.
It combines economic efficiency with sophisticated sustainability technology to deliver services with no diesel costs or emissions, minimal noise and a suite of interchangeable tools and attachments to meet the needs of any street cleaning situation.
Ergonomic and safe user design ensures the safety and comfort of operators, while camera systems ensure a good all-round view and offer additional assistance when reversing or turning, minimising costly collisions or accidents.
Clean, green sweeping machine
The Citymaster’s electric drive delivers just as much power as a traditional diesel-driven sweeper but with none of the carbon dioxide emissions.
Providing up to nine hours of operation on a single battery charge, this machine is equipped with more than enough range for the long days of council work.
With a top speed of 40km/h, the Citymaster can quickly get to the next job site or charging station, allowing fast, easy and safe charging of the battery.
Carbon emissions aren’t the only kind of pollution that the Citymaster helps to mitigate. Overly noisy street sweepers can be a significant source of disruption for local residents, but thanks to its electrified and community-conscious design, the Citymaster offers a much quieter solution.
Not only does the electric drive minimise engine sound but the specially designed ‘silent brooms’ also contribute to ensuring significantly reduced noise pollution both in and outside the cabin, providing a more comfortable experience for operators and less disruptions for communities.
Flexibility and comfort
In addition to its two to three dry rotating brooms for standard sweeping, the Citymaster has access to a wide range of different tools and attachments that can be used for a variety of applications.
Possible attachments and applications include:
Dry cleaning
- Dirt sweeping
- Leaf blowing
Wet cleaning
- Scrubbing
- Sluicing
- High pressure washing
- Watering arm
Transport
- Tipper
- Lattice box
- Trailer
Thanks to its multifunctionality, the Citymaster can carry out the work of a whole team of machines.
Additionally, the Citymaster offers significantly improved driving and operating comfort compared to similar machines, thanks to the ergonomic cabin design and internal air conditioning system.
All functions can be controlled at just the push of a button via Hako’s one-button operating system integrated in the armrest, and the large display provides at-a-glance information on all relevant operating data.
The Citymaster 1650 ZE is an intelligently designed machine capable of filling the needs of any street cleaning operation, all while delivering great sustainability outcomes and minimal noise pollution.
