Clean green machine: first electric street sweeper for Harrow Council
The first fully electric street sweeper has joined Harrow Council’s fleet in another step forward for the authority’s carbon neutral pledge. The eSwingo 200+ sweeper - the first of its kind in a London borough – took to the streets of Harrow this month. Cllr Varsha Parmar, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “I’m so proud that Harrow is leading the way with this electric sweeper. It looks fantastic and brings so many benefits to Harrow. It will reduce our carbon footprint, save on running costs and it’s a bit quieter too.”

eSwingo supports meeting green city plan objectives
Southampton City Council has taken delivery of the first of four all-electric eSwingo compact sweepers from Aebi Schmidt UK to help meet its environmental objectives under its Green City Plan 2030. The zero-emission eSwingos will contribute to the council’s sustainable energy and carbon reduction objectives replacing the diesel-powered Swingo 200+ sweepers that the council currently operates. A pilot test of one of the vehicles was undertaken last year, which demonstrated the eSwingo was easily capable of working a nine-hour shift but still leaving between 43-54% of battery life available, while also operating at extremely low noise levels.
