Street cleaning without a drop of diesel — how 100% electric sweepers work, what they cost to own, and why cities are switching.
Not a diesel sweeper converted to electric — machines designed electric from the ground up.
Weights, dimensions and layouts engineered for electric only — not an electrified conversion. The distinction shows in 10+ hour continuous run times.
Low-voltage architecture is a maintenance and safety advantage over high-voltage EV platforms.
Noise-free operation opens early-morning and night districts that ban diesel machines.
No exhaust at operator level — a downtown air-quality decision, not just a fleet decision.
Fuel + maintenance savings on a duty-cycled sweeper pay back the premium inside three years — the Tenax fleet math.
A diesel sweeper's annual emission — the number that goes to zero.
The company that invented the category — which is why we represent it.
Tenax International (Italy — Motor Valley) built the world's first completely electric street sweeper prototype.
The range expanded into the MaxWind platform.
The line that matured the category — now the EVOS+ generation.
The largest fleet of electric sweepers and washers in operation on the planet.
The exclusive North American distributor — the line we represent in New England + TX + select NY.
The Italian factory runs its own 50 kW photovoltaic system — they build without polluting.
The product families we quote.
The current-generation sweeper — the reference machine of the category.
The new large-platform machine for dense urban fleets.
The platform that scaled the category.
Tight districts and pedestrian zones.
100% electric washing — the companion product line.
Pedestrian districts, indoor garages, tourism zones.
Battery architecture is where electric sweeper fleets are won.
Battery banks sized to route length — don't pay for capacity you don't cycle.
Completely interchangeable batteries (a Tenax approach) de-couple charging from operations.
Modular low-voltage chargers fit existing infrastructure — no depot rebuild.
10+ hours of continuous work separates designed-electric from converted machines.
New England fleets: spec heating/thermal strategy — we cover this in every quote.
Battery replacement is a planned event with a known cost — we model it into the ROI.
How a city actually switches.
The successful pattern: one district, one machine, measured against the diesel baseline.
Low-voltage charging fits standard depot service — the infrastructure ask is small.
No engine oil, no DPF regens, no injectors — PM hours drop.
Federal/state clean-fleet programs offset acquisition — we help with the paperwork basis.
The quiet machine wins operators fast — retention is a hidden ROI line.
Electric sweeper resale is forming — early units carry premium scarcity.
Two cleaning missions.
Vacuum + brush systems collect grit, leaves, litter — the sanitation mission.
Pressurized washing removes film, staining and grime — the appearance mission.
Downtown cores run both: nightly sweep + weekend wash.
Only electric machines legally work in enclosed parking structures.
Wash and sweep at 5 a.m. next to hotels — diesel can't, electric can.
Sweepers, washers and manual units — one manufacturer, one parts channel.
Category-first engineering deserves the credit.
The first company in the world dedicated entirely to 100% electric street cleaning — since before it was fashionable.
The exclusive distributor that brought the line to this continent — "Tenax North America, Inc." exactly, as they ask.
Manufacturer imagery only — Electra and MaxWind photos from their published materials.
Authorized dealer in stated territory — proudly and accurately.
Equipment that works — sold by people who repair it, supported by people who answer the phone.
