CityCat V20
Bucher Municipal's flagship sweeper in the 2 m³ class
Welcome to improved suction, enhanced connectivity, increased comfort and ever-important sustainability based on many years of experience in the development of compact sweepers.
With 2.1 t payload and 4.8 t gross weight, the CityCat V20 delivers an outstanding load capacity for excellent sweep performance while offering an unmatched combination of articulated steering and a state-of-the-art Euro 6 diesel engine.
Get to know the CityCat V20
The CityCat V20 comes with a smooth-running, economical Euro 6 diesel engine which delivers demand-driven performance and therefore guarantees low fuel consumption and emission values. The sweeper is also available with a Tier 4 Final emission standard engine. Thanks to a low-polluting diesel engine with controlled hydrostatic drive, AdBlue and exhaust gas after-treatment system, the 2 m³ compact sweeper meets the stringent emission standard and at the same time delivers all the power needed.
Tried and true articulated steering provides exceptional agility, manouverability and maximum directional stability, allowing the driver to concentrate fully on sweeping without worrying about manouvering. Articulated steering combined with the front brush means that the vehicle can efficiently and cost-effectively clean everything from the narrowest of passages to the largest of areas.
The all new ergonomically designed, ROPS tested cab and the single wheel suspension ensure a unique driving experience. Easy use of the sweeper is provided by a simple, one-hand operation concept. The Smart-Con control system supported by the CSense touch-display invites the driver into a new, intuitive world of operation in which the driver can focus on the work in front of him and the operation becomes secondary.

Key Features
Maximum manoeuvrability
An advantage of articulated steering is increased manoeuvrability. With this system, the suction intake always faces in the direction of travel, giving a clean sweep without leaving unsightly dirt streaks behind. The rear of the sweeper follows the exact path of the front, letting the driver concentrate on the task ahead.
Floating suction intake
Wide in diameter to pick up large items, and with a more efficient, energy-optimized fan, the floating suction intake with its patented mounting mechanism ensures maximum air velocity for perfect sweeping results, no matter how uneven the surface. Just like the floating suction intake, the straight suction hose also belongs to the Bucher “DNA” and results in minimum risk of blockage and optimum air flow for trouble-free operation.
Pushed sweep gear
The pushed brush system in combination with the articulated steering features independently controllable brushes and therefore ensures unparalleled maneuverability in every sweeping scenario. The two brush arms are collision-protected in all directions and enable a sweeping width of up to 3040 mm. Using the joystick on the Smart-Con armrest, the brushes can be controlled either simultaneously or independently of each other by preselecting the brush arm. The standard brush ground pressure control ensures perfect sweeping results while minimizing wear and tear. As an option, both brushes can be equipped with a hydraulic tilt function, which enables better control of the brush or applications such as weed removal. The suction mouth is mounted on swivel castors and has a unique collision-protected design that lifts the suction mouth in the event of a collision with an obstacle.
Pulled sweep gear
The 3-brush system with pulled side brushes and a third front brush offers simple operation with maximum sweeping performance and a sweeping width of up to 2700 mm. The design of the sweep gear underneath the cab ensures a continuous overlap of the side brushes to the suction mouth and thus an optimal pick-up performance. The combination of the pulled sweep gear with articulated steering ensures that no material is left behind, even when cornering, and the driver can concentrate on the work area in front of the vehicle. Various side brush options such as tilting or lateral adjustment offer a more versatile way of working with the sweeper. The third front brush allows more flexibility to clean also difficult to reach areas and allows second level sweeping. The system is complemented by the floating suction intake which offer best pick up performance with no contact to the ground and therefore low wear and tear.
Large 2 m³ hopper with water recirculation
The newly designed large 2 m³ hopper is made of stainless steel to last the life of the sweeper. The large and easy to clean filter screen ensures high air velocity even in leaf season by preventing premature clogging. The hopper can be operated either from the outside of the sweeper or directly from the cab. With a dumping height of 1,555 m, the swept material can be easily emptied into containers. The service water tank with 150 l, located underneath the hopper, ensures maximum autonomy. With the all new easy clean option the hopper can be cleaned efficiently, leaving more time for sweeping.
Developed with comfort and safety in mind
Each cabin comes with two fully fledged driver seats with headrests to offer not just a comfortable driving experience, but also an ergonomic workstation.
We believe all drivers should enjoy working with our sweepers, so we’ve introduced a walk-through cab, soft touch steering and an armrest with ergonomically perfected controls. A great view out of the cab is not only provided by the big, heated front screen and all glass doors but also through the camera options of which the views can be displayed on the Smart-Con and CSense screens.
Of course, safety is crucial. From the 3-point safety belts to the enhanced illumination of the sweeping area - ensuring a safe overview and visibility for third parties - it’s our duty to take care.
Single wheel suspension
The custom-designed single wheel suspension ensures a unique and comfortable driving experience while contributing to the lightweight and low-maintenance design of the sweeper. By minimizing shocks and vibrations, the stress and fatigue of operators is reduced, which contributes to a higher operational readiness and safety on the road.
Smart-Con - start sweeping with the push of a button
The CityCat V20 offers an intuitive and ergonomic operation of the sweeper via the Smart-Con multifunctional armrest paired with the Smart-Con 4.3-inch display. The sweeper can be operated by one hand while having pop-up feedback on the Smart-Con screen for all automotive and sweeping related information which makes work a lot easier. Increases safety and ergonimics by always keeping the working area in sight.
CSense touch-display
The CSense 10.1-inch touch display enables extended setting possibilities and visual diagnostics while giving an excellent overview of the vehicle. The display can be adjusted in height and angle to ensure an ergonomic operation by the driver.
Low-emission diesel engine
Standard 62 kW Euro 6 VM four-cylinder engine with low environmental impact by reducing exhaust emissions (NOx and CO2) as well as low fuel consumption for maximum autonomy.
