For a town with the "Gold Energy Town" label – an award given to municipalities leading in renewable energy and climate protection – the answer seemed clear: the eSwingo 200+, the fully electric version of the Swingo 200+. Yet the experienced team had concerns: could an electric model really match the diesel version’s sweeping performance and operate throughout an entire working day?
Testing the Future
Aebi Schmidt took on the challenge, providing Wallisellen with a demonstration model of the compact sweeper. Joaquim, the team’s most experienced driver, addressed the elephant in the room: "We knew how well the diesel model worked, but using an electric sweeper was completely new for us." Over several test drives, the eSwingo 200+ faced rigorous evaluation. From narrow pedestrian underpasses at the train station to busy city streets, the team monitored every move.
“The electric version naturally caused some scepticism, but we were able to test it and in the end the advantages outweighed the disadvantages,” says Guido Maul, division manager. “It is really important to me that the employees are satisfied. They are driving these machines all day long and should feel comfortable,” Guido adds.
Quiet Confidence Wins
The results spoke volumes—or rather, didn’t. The eSwingo 200+ low noise levels were a revelation. “Inside the cabin, the quiet makes long shifts so much more pleasant,” Joaquim shared. Noise wasn’t the only victory. The attached high-pressure spray bar effortlessly deals with stubborn dirt, while the Koanda air circulation system, paired with a pressurized circulating water system, cut harmful dust emissions by up to 70%.
After just a few weeks, scepticism turned into enthusiasm. Today, six months into using their own eSwingo 200+, Wallisellen’s operators are convinced supporters.
Economic and Ecological Advantages
The eSwingo 200+ doesn’t just deliver comfort and cleanliness; it also offers significant long-term benefits, with drastically lower energy costs and substantial savings on maintenance, thanks to the absence of a traditional diesel engine. Thanks to its 75 kWh battery, the machine easily meets the town’s daily demands, even on long workdays.
Join the Revolution
Wallisellen’s story is just the beginning. For municipalities committed to sustainability, the eSwingo 200+ represents a milestone. Schedule a demonstration with Aebi Schmidt today and discover how quiet, clean, and cost-effective the future of sweeping can be.
