Keeping inner city environments clean is a never-ending problem for local government; it is not easy matter to maintain a lively, dynamic city that remains at the same time nuisance-free and clean. The new electrically-powered Electrovorax has been conceived specifically to help solve this problem. Easy to steer, the vehicle has no trouble negotiating narrow streets and pedestrian precincts. This vehicle really is pollution-free, thanks to its electrically-powered traction and cleaning equipment. There is no noise emission, the vehicle being extremely quiet, notably when climbing gradients and avoiding obstacles. Electrovorax is efficient and economic: its high performance is due to very efficient electric motors for different functions (no hydraulic transmissions). Two factors underlie its cost effectiveness: very low daily running and almost nil maintenance costs. Finally, the vehicle is reliable: even though its conception and desing display numerous innovations the technology and materials used have already stood the test of time allowing a long working-life guarantee.
