Are all season equipment and vehicles the new gold standard?
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.
No discernible loss of payload after switching to electric power
Carbon-free commitments of Councils across the UK come with an increased demand for electric sweepers. Some councils are using the momentum to assess different machines before making a long-term decision. Here’s an initial feedback from Islington Council’s drivers on the Schmidt eSwingo 200⁺ fully electric compact sweeper.
Green Sweeping Crosses the Pond
Efforts across the U.S. to advance fuel-saving technologies and to the adoption of electric commercial vehicles and fleets are increasing. The eSwingo 200⁺ pays for itself over its lifespan, with up to 85% of energy costs and up to 70% of maintenance costs to be saved compared to sweepers with a diesel engine. No wonder its popularity in the U.S. is growing. In less than a year, it’s been on dozens of demos and is being sold through a rapidly growing dealer network.
Did you miss the Demo Days? No problem.
At the Demo Days, Aebi Schmidt presented the latest innovations, developments and solutions in the area of airport, sweeping, municipal technology, winter maintenance and more - online and live during two days. Did you miss the presentations? No problem, you can review the recordings of the presentations whenever convenient for you.
Duurzaam, ook qua productie
Onze compacte veegmachines worden geproduceerd in St. Blasien (Duitsland) en in Burgdorf (Zwitserland). Beide fabrieken halen 100% van hun elektriciteit uit volledig hernieuwbare energiebronnen. Duurzaamheid speelt ook een belangrijke rol bij de keuze van materialen en componenten. Hoeveel procent van een compacte veegmachine denkt u dat aan het einde van zijn levensduur gerecycled kan worden?
Aebi Schmidt is coming to you!
The Aebi Schmidt Group has decided not to exhibit at IFAT in Munich and to come to you instead. On 20 and 21 June 2022, we will offer virtual presentations of our latest product and service developments, live and conveniently streamed on your screen, enabling you to follow those topics and demonstrations which are of interest to you.
Schmidt CSP - Maatwerk voor België

The Sweeper: A Machine with Numerous Fields of Application
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!
eSwingo 200+ improves Performance also at Airports
Düsseldorf Airport tested the fully electric eSwingo 200⁺ for around a week. Thanks to the positive results, there are now plans to purchase a machine. The airport wrote in its press release: «Electric Mobility is an important element in Düsseldorf Airport’s sustainability strategy.» But a compact sweeper at the airport? We asked the airport managers to explain what role the machine can play in an environment that is generally dominated by large sweepers.
Schmidt launches first fully electric Sweeper
PREMIERE OF ESWINGO 200+ AT IFAT 2018 Not only does the eSwingo 200+ clean up perfectly, but it is also clean itself. The new compact sweeper from Schmidt operates entirely on electric power without generating any emissions, making it not just one of the cleanest compact sweepers available on the market but also one of the most cost-competitive. Over its life cycle, the costs of the eSwingo 200+ are on par with those of the diesel version, thanks to lower energy and maintenance costs and a longer amortisation period. So, not only does the eSwingo 200+ benefit the environment, it also benefits the bottom line. The ASH Group has developed the Generation E concept to offer both municipal authorities and private service providers not only sustainable cutting-edge technology, but also an inclusive package covering all the service, maintenance and performance needs of the new all-electric model. Examples include a compatible charging station with a monitoring function; a GPS-based telematics solution to boost performance and optimise route planning; and expert advice on all aspects of infrastructure, energy demand, maintenance concepts and fleet set-up. Customers don’t need to worry about battery life as all battery servicing and diagnostics are provided by the ASH Group, while any used batteries can be returned and recycled free of charge. The new eSwingo 200+ will make its first public appearance from 14 – 18 May 2018 at the IFAT trade fair in Munich on the ASH Group stand in the open-air section 709/15.

When Lightning Strikes: The All-Electric Ford F-150 Lightning
EVs, or electric vehicles, have been rising in popularity for the last few years as charging infrastructure is expanded and new electric vehicles are being produced. Ford announced in 2022 that they would stepping into the EV ring with the Ford F-150 Lightning, an all-electric version of the F-150. It was the first full size EV pickup on the market, and though it’s not quite as powerful as a gas-powered F-150, it has some incredible benefits that will only get better with time and technology. Curious about how an electric pickup stands up against its gas-powered twin?
Seattle's Department of Transportation op weg naar nulemissie
Als onderdeel van het algemene doel om voertuigen die koolstof uitstoten te vervangen door nul-emissie alternatieven, heeft het Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) de Schmidt eSwingo 200⁺ gekozen voor haar eBroomer Pilot Programma. De eSwingo 200⁺, een volledig elektrische compacte veegmachine, werd voor de test gekozen vanwege zijn vermogen om de beschermde fietspaden (PBL) van de stad te vegen, die 5 voet breed zijn. Het proefprogramma voor elektrificatie van Seattle begon in 2023 en loopt door tot 2024, zodat de stad de mogelijkheid heeft om verschillende elektrische voertuigen te testen.
Saving resources and money by also using spreaders in summer: the Tyrolean state government is leading the way
The state of Tyrol is responsible for a total of 2,236 km of road network, with the state roads lying at 470 to over 2,000 metres above sea level. The state authorities have been utilising salt and brine for their winter services since 2017. To do this, they use a Schmidt Stratos Combi Soliq Flex, a combined machine that spreads or sprays with abrasive agents, dry salt or wet salt containing the required proportion of brine. They have recently started using ‘the spreader’ in summer as well.
Maximum efficiency thanks to one carrier vehicle for summer & winter maintenance
Maintaining 1.000.000 m² in the city of Tartu, EKT Teed OÜ decided to add new equipment to its fleet last year. Looking back, the contractor is sure to have made the right choice in order to maintain the area 24/7, 365 days a year. And, it was not only the Street King’s features that impressed, but also the possibility of buying single source, service included.
