Boschung Commits to a 0 (zero) Emission Future: Going Fully Powered by ELECTRIC with its small vehicle range

Payerne, Switzerland, July 4th, 2023 - Boschung, a pioneering leader in urban maintenance solutions, proudly announces a momentous leap towards a sustainable future with its latest initiative. Building on the success of the first fully electric sweeper launched in 2018, the Urban-Sweeper S2.0, Boschung is now taking the next crucial step by going completely powered by ELECTRIC with its small vehicles range. This meaningful move signifies Boschung’s resolute dedication to reducing CO2 emissions and aligning with the vision of a sustainable future.

By phasing out its thermic small vehicles and transitioning to fully electric alternatives, Boschung underscores its unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship. The decision to deliver its last small diesel vehicle at the beginning of 2023 marks a significant milestone in Boschung’s journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.

This transformative shift aligns with Boschung’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation. By embracing this new strategy, Boschung demonstrates its readiness to be at the forefront of sustainability and environmental preservation. Recognizing the importance of reducing its carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy sources, Boschung has implemented a state-of-the-art energy production system that harnesses the power of nature. With over 3500 m2 of solar panels covering the roof of its headquarters in Payerne, Switzerland, Boschung has effectively transformed its main office into a self-sufficient energy hub. This renewable energy infrastructure not only powers the operations within the facility but also provides clean electricity to support the fleet of electric vehicles driven by the company’s sales and service teams. In Germany, the Boschung production plant stands out with its incorporation of a biogas heater, produced locally.

With its longstanding expertise in urban maintenance solutions, Boschung remains committed to innovation and cutting-edge technology. At the heart of this transition lies Boschung’s cutting-edge battery technology and sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS). Developed by Boschung’s team of expert engineers and researchers, the Boschung Vehicle and Drive technology combines high performance with superior efficiency, enabling extended working hours and optimized energy consumption delivering energy to not only the Urban-Sweeper S2.0 but also the Pony P3.0, the first fully electric 4-wheel drive multipurpose carrier.

“Reducing carbon emissions and embracing sustainable practices are at the core of our values at Boschung,” stated Rino Reusser, Managing Director of Marcel Boschung AG and in charge of the groups Business Unit Vehicles. “We are delighted to announce our complete transition to electric vehicles, an essential step towards a greener and more environmentally responsible future. By taking this significant leap, we are not only meeting the expectations of our customers but also contributing to a global movement for a cleaner planet.”
