Key Features
Maximum manoeuvrability
An advantage of articulated steering is increased maneuverability. With this system, the rear of the washer follows the exact path of the front, letting the driver concentrate on the task ahead.
Bucher Battery Pack
Bucher Municipal has developed a custom-designed Bucher Battery Pack that’s tailored to the vehicle. This proven technology subject’s minimal footprint to the environment and provides very low noise emissions. The custom designed battery pack is made to last a full one-day shift. The patented, sophisticated repair concept ensures maximum safety for the driver and the workshop.
On-board charger & energy recuperation
The 22 kW on-board charger means that batteries can be recharged in just two to three hours at any public car-charging station. Depending which recuperation level is selected the high-voltage battery will be charged during the deceleration. Thus, the range will be further extended.
Operating noise at only 94 dB(A)
Due to the very low noise emissions of 94 dB(A) (2000/14/EG), operations are possible around the clock, even at night.
Washing application
Equipped with a telescopic spray bar mounted on the front of the vehicle it enables cleaning of areas in a range of 1.3 to 2.4 meters. It is hydraulically swiveled, raised, lowered, extended and retracted. The spray bar consists of five segments which can be switched on and off individually.
Large water volume
The washer can be equipped with a water capacity of up to 2000 l. Combined with a 60 bar, 70 l/min pump for which the pressure can be steplessly adjusted out of the cab of the vehicle, they provide for maximum autonomy and a spotless cleaning result.
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 washer, 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 working 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 washer. 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.
