In een publicatie bij de New York Times beschrijft de Brussels Research Group Zwitserland als de meest innovatieve economie ter wereld en belicht verschillende aspecten en sectoren. In een interview legt Barend Fruithof, CEO van onze Groep, uit welke factoren hebben geleid tot de groei van onze Groep en hoe de Aebi Schmidt Groep verder wil groeien in Noord-Amerika.

Dit jaar viert Aebi Schmidt Nederland met trots haar 75e verjaardag. Deze belangrijke mijlpaal benadrukt onze voortdurende toewijding aan het leveren van intelligente oplossingen voor gemeenten en dienstverleners gericht op innovatie, duurzaamheid en de sterke relaties met klanten en partners. Om deze speciale gelegenheid te vieren, organiseerden we op 6 juni 2024 een evenement op ons lokale hoofdkantoor in Holten, Nederland.

EVs, or electric vehicles, have been rising in popularity for the last few years as charging infrastructure is expanded and new electric vehicles are being produced. Ford announced in 2022 that they would stepping into the EV ring with the Ford F-150 Lightning, an all-electric version of the F-150. It was the first full size EV pickup on the market, and though it’s not quite as powerful as a gas-powered F-150, it has some incredible benefits that will only get better with time and technology. Curious about how an electric pickup stands up against its gas-powered twin?

This is the headline of the cover story of “The Municipal,” a leading magazine for America's municipalities. The article examines how Germany-based Schmidt utilized engineering expertise to design innovative sweeper technology, and introduce it in a fully electric model also suitable for cities and municipalities in the USA.

The feedback following tests with the prototype of an electric-hydraulic eSyntos spreader in a municipality in the Netherlands was so promising that the machine is now starting series production.

The Aebi Schmidt Group has decided not to exhibit at IFAT in Munich and to come to you instead. On 20 and 21 June 2022, we will offer virtual presentations of our latest product and service developments, live and conveniently streamed on your screen, enabling you to follow those topics and demonstrations which are of interest to you.

The Spanish city of Murcia shows how it’s done. They recently renewed its entire street cleaning and Refuse collection fleet. The municipality wants to reduce CO₂ emissions, save water and reduce noise pollution. It has set itself the goal of leading the way in planning and implementing its urban services for the citizens and residents of the city in a new and sustainable way. Machines and services from Aebi Schmidt and its partner Ferrovial Services play a major part in this.

We have already reported that Heidelberg was the first German city to order an eSwingo 200+. The city hosted the International Conference for Climate Action in May this year and is pursuing a significant number of initiatives in the field of environment and sustainability. For example, the city administration intends to gradually convert its vehicle fleet to zero-emission vehicles. Since mid-September, an eSwingo 200+ has also been contributing to this goal.

For decades, the Swingo models have been among the most popular and reliable sweepers when it comes to efficient and convenient sweeping in urban areas. Now Aebi Schmidt is offering a fully electric model under the name. The eSwingo 200+ works quietly and emission-free for up to 10 hours on a single battery charge. The first model recently made its way from the factory in St. Blasien in the Black Forest to the Swiss city of Thun – an epic journey!

In de hoofdstad van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Londen, worden de stadsdelen boroughs genoemd. Islington is de op één na kleinste van deze stadsdelen en telt meer dan 200.000 inwoners. Onlangs heeft de Islington Council nog een volledig elektrische Schmidt eSwingo 200⁺ compacte veegmachine toegevoegd aan haar groeiende elektrische vloot als onderdeel van haar streven om over zes jaar haar Net Zero koolstofdoelstelling te halen. Lees hier meer over de aanpak van de gemeente en waarom haar chauffeurs dol zijn op onze eSwingo.

Als onderdeel van het lezingenprogramma van EUnited op de IFAT in München dit jaar, legde de Aebi Schmidt Groep aan het geïnteresseerde publiek uit welke benaderingen kunnen worden gebruikt om de ambitieuze emissiedoelstellingen die op veel plaatsen zijn vastgesteld, zowel efficiënter als duurzamer te behalen. Beide presentaties hadden één misschien wel verbazingwekkende conclusie gemeen: een holistische aanpak is niet alleen efficiënter, maar ook goedkoper!

The EV, or electric vehicle, is quickly becoming more popular with consumers and companies alike as charging infrastructure and improvements to battery life rapidly improve. Alliant Energy, a Midwestern electric utility company operating out of Madison, Wisconsin, is one of the pioneers committed to electrification by transitioning their technologies away from fossil fuels and towards electricity. Many benefits come with electrification, like saving money, creating a clean and healthy environment with reduced emissions, and reducing maintenance costs.

The noiseless and carbon-free cleaning Schmidt eSwingo 200⁺ is proving popular with local authorities and as well as with industry experts. The eSwingo has won the Award for Excellence in Innovation at this year’s RWM and Let’s Recycle show in Birmingham (UK).

Onze compacte veegmachines worden geproduceerd in St. Blasien (Duitsland) en in Burgdorf (Zwitserland). Beide fabrieken halen 100% van hun elektriciteit uit volledig hernieuwbare energiebronnen. Duurzaamheid speelt ook een belangrijke rol bij de keuze van materialen en componenten. Hoeveel procent van een compacte veegmachine denkt u dat aan het einde van zijn levensduur gerecycled kan worden?

Southampton City Council is seeing electrifying results from its fleet of four new all-electric eSwingo 200⁺ compact sweepers from Aebi Schmidt UK which are making a vital contribution to meeting the Council’s environmental objectives under its Greener City Charter.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to hand over a fully electric Aebi eVT450 transporter to the town of Burgdorf (Switzerland). In cooperation with the city’s construction department, we are now testing its suitability for everyday use in the coming months. The aim is clearly to ensure that no compromises have to be made with the electric model, neither in terms of use nor in terms of attachments. The experience gained from the practical use will directly influence the development of the series model.

Since the beginning of the year, an fully electric driven Aebi eVT450 prototype has been driving in Stoos (Switzerland). Driving cheaper, emission-free and without compromising performance in agriculture as well as in private and public services is one thing. The other is to ensure that the electricity comes sufficiently and constantly out of the socket. Energy companies are working on this every day. All applications require large payloads and individual equipment options, both electrically and conventionally driven.

PREMIERE OF ESWINGO 200+ AT IFAT 2018 Not only does the eSwingo 200+ clean up perfectly, but it is also clean itself. The new compact sweeper from Schmidt operates entirely on electric power without generating any emissions, making it not just one of the cleanest compact sweepers available on the market but also one of the most cost-competitive. Over its life cycle, the costs of the eSwingo 200+ are on par with those of the diesel version, thanks to lower energy and maintenance costs and a longer amortisation period. So, not only does the eSwingo 200+ benefit the environment, it also benefits the bottom line. The ASH Group has developed the Generation E concept to offer both municipal authorities and private service providers not only sustainable cutting-edge technology, but also an inclusive package covering all the service, maintenance and performance needs of the new all-electric model. Examples include a compatible charging station with a monitoring function; a GPS-based telematics solution to boost performance and optimise route planning; and expert advice on all aspects of infrastructure, energy demand, maintenance concepts and fleet set-up. Customers don’t need to worry about battery life as all battery servicing and diagnostics are provided by the ASH Group, while any used batteries can be returned and recycled free of charge. The new eSwingo 200+ will make its first public appearance from 14 – 18 May 2018 at the IFAT trade fair in Munich on the ASH Group stand in the open-air section 709/15.
