100% Electric
Tenax International is a visionary company in the sustainable urban cleaning sector, with its very first completely electric prototype, Electra 1.0, developed as far back as 2003. Today we are a trusted partner of major cities and service companies around the world, and can boast the largest fleet of operational electric road sweepers and street washers in the world, managed through sophisticated geolocation and remote monitoring technologies to provide a genuinely unbeatable preventive and corrective maintenance service.
All products in the Tenax range have been designed from the ground up to be 100% electric. This means that the technologies chosen, in terms of their weights, dimensions, power draw and layout, have been designed for one product only, and exclusively for electric operation.
For this reason, and unlike an electrified product, they can significantly exceed ten hours of constant, continuous operation, with a huge range of available battery packs able to perfectly adapt to any technical or cost requirement the customer may have, as well as offering extraordinary advantages in terms of noise levels and emissions. All this without any limits on operation and while providing extraordinary savings in terms of running and fuel costs, allowing a confirmed return on investment in a maximum of three years.

“e” for Environmentally Friendly
Tenax International embodies the “e” philosophy in every aspect and stage of its activities. With the strength of our 35 years of experience in the street sweeping sector, we are able to make use of the best technologies in order to offer our customers a complete range of effective zero-impact solutions. It was back in 2003 that we created the first completely electric road sweeper in the world.
-
“e” for Ethical
To help reduce our environmental footprint, Tenax International’s production is emissions-free thanks to our 50 kW solar PV installation and our strategic positioning in Motor Valley, the heart of the Italian automotive industry, which allows us to source the best components in our own back yard.
-
“e” for Equitable
All Tenax International's internal processes are optimised in accordance with the principles of Lean Manufacturing and perfected through continuous improvement in accordance with the Kaizen methodology in order to offer our employees the best possible working experience, pursuant to our ISO 9001 and 14001 quality certifications. Even at the end of their life cycle, Tenax products remain environmentally sustainable, with over 90% of components being recyclable.
-
“e” for Ecological
The goal of Tenax is to make the world more sustainable and liveable for its inhabitants and for future generations. For this reason, when compared to a traditional road sweeper with an internal combustion engine, which can emit over 37,000 kg of CO2 per year, Tenax’s zero-impact technology completely eliminates tailpipe emissions and also drastically reduces those created by the production process.
100% Electric Reliability
The electric technology that we have created and which we continue to develop each and every day has achieved remarkable levels of performance and reliability, which convince us to invest even more in the development of new products, allowing us above all to improve the quality of life for our cities, increasing our customers’ efficiency and playing our part in creating a cleaner, more beautiful and more sustainable world for our future, and hopefully that of our children.
