In winter road maintenance, it is often necessary to treat particularly critical areas, such as bridges or steep and sloping stretches, with specially deployed spray vehicles or with stationary de-icing agent spraying systems. This approach incurs additional costs because of the special vehicles, routes or equipment. In Vienna, however, it has been shown that there is another way. We wanted to know how and spoke to engineer Dr. Peter Nutz, Head of Planning and Winter Maintenance at Municipal Department 48.

For customers in the municipal sector, the Aebi Schmidt Group offers appropriate sweepers in different versions. They are suitable for professional users who are looking for a cost-efficient year-round solution. However, many users also want to purchase a machine that does more than just sweep. This is where the multifunctional concept in combination with attachments comes into play.

Scientists have long predicted that climate change would increase the prevalence of extreme weather – today those forecasts are coming true. From heatwaves and blizzards to flooding and severe turbulence, extreme weather conditions are becoming more and more commonplace around the world. This trend not only spells bad news for global residents in general, but is having a hugely negative impact on airports and airlines.

The fire department Aletsch counts on the Aebi VT450 Vario with firefighting superstructure by Brändle The fire department Aletsch in the car-free municipality Bettmeralp in the Swiss canton Wallis expanded its vehicle fleet with a new “colleague” in November. An Aebi VT450 Vario with firefighting superstructure by the company Brändle from Sirnach in the canton Thurgau will support the crew of captain Patric Jenelten in the future. What is so special about it? The powerful implement equipment carrier VT450 Vario by Aebi is running on wheels in the summer and on crawler tracks in the winter. Its availability is therefore guaranteed in every season of the year and on every surface – even on rough and steep terrain.

Air traffic accounts for approximately 2% of global fossil carbon dioxide emissions. Together with emissions of nitrogen oxides, steam and effects of condensation trails, it is estimated that aviation is responsible for about 3.5% of humankind’s total impact on climate change. It’s not only planes flying from one destination to another but the infrastructure that goes with it, the ground handling, and the maintenance of the runways and taxiways of the airport such as snow removal. To make your airport operations smart and also green, ASH Group is looking for new technologies to reduce costs as well as emissions. “Reduce to the max” is the claim for the first CO2 neutral TJS-C (Towed Jet Sweeper – Compact) which was developed 2010 by ASH Group. Since October 2014, 29 of them are now in use at different airports in Sweden.

The Tyrolean state government uses spreaders in both summer and winter. Meanwhile, Estonian service provider EKT Teed OÜ relies on a carrier vehicle with a interchangeable system that can be used all year round. Will soon all of our machines be multipurpose and usable all year round? We spoke to Henning Schröder, Head Group Technology, and Gerhard Neudorfer, Head Sales Europe.

Sweepers are versatile, flexible and effective. Companies, municipalities and other organisations use them. The technology is used in street and pavement cleaning as well as for many other tasks. The requirements for sweepers could hardly be more different. This depends on the size of the area to be cleaned, the type of soiling and other factors. This is where we from the Aebi Schmidt Group come into play. With our broad portfolio of sweepers, we have the right solution for your problem - for sure!

Boasting a total weight of about 26 tonnes and a length of 16 metres, the TJS-C 630 jet sweeper is not only one of the longest but also one of the heaviest machines by Schmidt. Sending such a vehicle on a journey involves not only organising the transport from A to B, but also observing customs regulations, filing applications with authorities and meeting tight schedules. No transport is like the other, in particular when it comes to overseas transport – as was the case recently in April on the occasion of the “International Aviation Snow Symposium” in Buffalo in the State of New York.
