The Schmidt EverBrush – a joke, but our commitment to sustainability is real

Since our announcement of the Schmidt EverBrush – a self-growing street sweeper brush that promised to revolutionize sustainable urban cleaning – we've received an incredible response. The interest, questions, and conversations it sparked show just how important sustainability is to all of us, and for that, we thank you.

But now, it's time for the truth: the Schmidt EverBrush was an April Fools' joke.

We wish it weren’t.

A real need for sustainable solutions

While the EverBrush doesn't exist (yet), the excitement it generated proves something we already know: there’s a growing demand for truly sustainable street cleaning solutions. And that’s where we’re focused.

While we can’t offer a self-growing street sweeper just yet, we are committed to developing real, impactful solutions to reduce emissions, cut waste, and increase efficiency. Our aim is to turn forward-thinking concepts like EverBrush into actual products for a cleaner world.

Real innovations for a sustainable future

The EverBrush might have been a joke, but our efforts for real sustainable solutions are no laughing matter. We’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in urban cleaning with technologies that make a difference today:

  • eSwingo 200+: A fully electric compact sweeper, zero emissions, silent operation, and designed for urban spaces – the right tool to reduce cities' environmental impact.
  • eCleango 550: A powerful electric sweeper that offers high performance without emissions, designed to meet the demands of both industrial and municipal cleaning while supporting climate goals.
  • eCityJet 3030: An electric high-pressure street washer that ensures effective cleaning without the carbon footprint of diesel-powered units.

 

These are the kinds of real solutions we’re delivering. And it doesn’t stop with sweepers. We’re also innovating in winter maintenance:

  • eSyntos: A pre-wetted salt spreader designed to minimize salt usage, keeping roads safe while reducing the environmental impact during winter maintenance.
  • eStratos: An intelligent spreading system that accurately applies salt, brine, or sand, cutting waste and ensuring reliable winter road safety.

 

The road ahead

The excitement around EverBrush has been a great reminder of the real drive for greener cities. While this specific technology isn’t on the horizon yet, our commitment to sustainability is stronger than ever. As we continue refining and advancing sustainable solutions, we invite you to join us in reshaping urban cleaning and maintenance for the future.

Thanks for being part of the conversation. The road to sustainability is one we’re on for the long haul.
