Bucher Battery Pack
Zero emission and high-efficiency drive system
Bucher Municipal has developed a custom-designed Bucher Battery Pack that’s tailored to the vehicle. This proven technology subject’s minimal footprint to the environment and provides low noise emissions. The custom designed battery pack is made to last a full 10-hour shift. The patented, sophisticated repair concept ensures maximum safety for the driver and the service techs.
Charging and Recovery
On-board charger & energy recuperation
The 22 kW on-board charger means that batteries can be recharged in just a few hours at any public car-charging station. Even shorter charging times offers the DC fast charging option. Depending which recuperation level is selected the high-voltage battery will be charged during the deceleration. Thus, the range will be further extended.
Sweeping
Excellent coverage
Fully variable positioning of the entire sweeping and suction nozzle unit to either side provides the optimum coverage.
The unit is protected from impact damage because it retracts when an obstacle is encountered. The hydraulically activated large panel filter makes it possible to take up bulky material.
With just the touch of a button on the control panel, the left or right side brush can be lifted if only one side is required. This protects the brushes from unnecessary wear.
Water Capacity
High-capacity clean water volume
A capacity of 232 gallons of clean water ensures long service times. An extra 295 gallon water tank can be installed to maximize operating time.
The service water recovery option ensures a higher fresh water coverage and less service water swept up.
Hopper
Same volume, different dumping hight
The CityCat VR50e has a Hopper capacity of 7.3 yd³ and a payload of 10,361 lbs.
Raising the hopper with the option of the high dump feature allows the debris to be tipped into large containers, skips or directly into refuse collection vehicles. This dramatically increases efficiency.
The hopper volume remains the same and does not become smaller. The Hopper is available in different stainless steel materials for individual corrosion resistance.
