Boschung and the Berliner Stadtreinigung Celebrate Milestone: the delivery of the 100th Urban-Sweeper for the city of Berlin

Payerne, Switzerland, May 30th, 2023 - Boschung, a leading provider of innovative urban maintenance solutions, proudly announces the delivery of the 100th Urban-Sweeper to Berlin Stadtreinigung (BSR). With a longstanding reputation for excellence and a commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainability, Boschung continues to be a trusted partner in supporting BSR’s vision of a better, greener, and cleaner Berlin.

As a vital force behind Berlin’s transformation into a better, greener, and cleaner city, BSR focuses on improving the urban environment and enhancing the well-being of its residents. By partnering with Boschung and incorporating the Urban-Sweeper S2 and S2.0 into their fleet, BSR demonstrates their dedication to innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of Berlin’s unique infrastructure.

Berlin’s sidewalks have a maximum weight capacity of 3.5 tonnes, making the lightweight and slim design of the Urban-Sweeper a perfect fit. Boschung’s street sweeper not only captivated BSR with its impressive design but also its exceptional performance, addressing the challenges posed by Berlin’s urban landscape to keep the city clean in an efficient way.

BSR now boasts a fleet of 104 Urban-Sweeper units, with 50 of them being the state-of-the-art Urban-Sweeper S2.0, fully electric and emitting zero emissions. Electrifying their vehicle fleet aligns with BSR’s vision of a more sustainable future. The Urban-Sweeper S2.0 fulfills BSR’s requirements in terms of weight and performance, offering even more efficient suction power. With a working shift of 6 hours, the S2.0 maintains an impressive charge level of 35 to 40% by the time it returns to the workshop. Thanks to the Supercharger, the Urban-Sweeper quickly recharges to 100% capacity between shifts, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

The introduction of the electric variant of the Urban-Sweeper has not only met BSR’s operational needs but has also garnered praise from the Berliner drivers and citizens. The S2.0 combines comfort and ease of handling, providing a quieter and more pleasant working experience compared to its predecessor.

BSR’s commitment to a cleaner and greener Berlin, combined with Boschung’s state-of-the-art technology, sets a new standard for urban maintenance solutions. The partnership between Boschung and BSR not only demonstrates the potential for environmental transformation but also serves as an inspiring example for cities worldwide.
