Safe and intelligent, Electra 1.0 improves the lives of both operatives and residents.

The secret of our 100% electric success

The secret of our road sweepers and street washers is true 100% electric technology. As a matter of fact, all our machines have been designed to be completely electric, and thus offer greater energy efficiency due essentially to the lack of hydraulic circuits and a very low overall mass.
Tenax International 100% Electric

Electrified
Tenax International places a strong focus on operator safety: indeed, the very low voltage used does not represent a risk to the health and safety of the users and operatives who come into contact with this equipment on a daily basis.
Tenax International's environmental focus is not limited to CO2 emissions, but also extends to reducing noise pollution. Our whisper-quiet 100% electric machines mean reduced noise pollution for greater comfort and tranquillity of residents, and can also be used for street cleaning during night-time hours.
Tenax International has a strong environmental focus: indeed, by eliminating hydraulic circuits, we are able to remove the risk of hydraulic oil spills which are not only damaging to the environment and hazardous to residents, but involve significant clean-up costs for the municipality in question.
Tenax International is synonymous above all with 100% electric reliability. Thanks to over 20 years’ experience in the electric road sweeping sector, with over 700 electric road sweepers sold in 42 countries over 5 continents, we are able to guarantee the highest levels of performance for our vehicles at all latitudes, with custom solutions to meet each and every customer’s requirements. This is why Tenax International is now a partner of some of the largest European public and private bodies, trusted by major cities such as Paris, Brussels, Bergamo, Naples, Taipei, Melbourne, Barcelona, Bilbao and many others.

Technical specifications

Steering

The tried and tested electric steering system provides exceptional agility and manoeuvrability, as well as ease of steering and improved safety; combined with excellent directional stability, it allows the driver to concentrate fully on the task at hand without distractions or having to worry about manoeuvres. Thanks to its two steered front wheels, which offer increased manoeuvrability, Electra 1.0 is able to efficiently clean any surface, from the narrowest alleyways to the largest squares.
Batteries and runtime

Electra 1.0 can be equipped with different types of 48 Volt low voltage battery packs designed specifically for the device. The possibility to use different types of batteries (AGM and lead acid) allows the machine to be adapted to the specific working requirements and budget of each customer. Depending on the battery type chosen, runtime ranges from nine to ten hours, and is therefore able to cover an entire work shift. The tried and tested technology used minimises the environmental footprint and offers high levels of recyclability, as well as high levels of safety thanks to the low voltage.
Charging and regeneration

Electra 1.0 can be equipped with a wide variety of external single-phase and three-phase battery chargers with different voltages, power ratings and charging times to fully meet customer requirements. Electra 1.0 is also equipped with a regenerative braking system which allows the device's runtime to be further extended.
Sweeping

The Electra 1.0 electric road sweeper is equipped with a suction waste collection system. Two independent counter-rotating brushes, positioned in front of the front axle, convey the waste towards the suction inlet and an innovative air filtration system with 99% filtration efficiency which traps fine powder down to PM 2.5, even when dry. During the work phase, the self-balancing nature of each component adapts to any road surface to ensure perfect operation at all times.
Waste hopper

The RSU standard interchangeable 360 l or 240 l HDPE waste hopper is EN 840 (UNI 10571 and DIN 30740) compliant; it is extremely strong and completely watertight. Replacing the full hopper with an empty one requires no physical exertion by the operator. It is possible to install an optional 360 l waste hopper system with 1,400 mm raised offloading incorporated, allowing the waste to be offloaded into bins and containers with ease and without any exertion. It allows the swept up waste to be easily offloaded into wheelie bins/dumpsters. The 100 l AISI 304 stainless steel clean water tank guarantees maximum runtime and use of the dust abatement system.
Safety and driving comfort

The ergonomic and soundproofed fibreglass cab of the Electra 1.0 sweeper offers a very high level of comfort to the operator along with a unique driving experience, thanks also to the damped four-wheel suspension. Equipped with an adjustable and anatomical shock-absorbing seat, it allows the operator to work in total comfort and safety with minimal vibration. The ergonomic controls located in the cab are intuitive and easy to use, allowing the operator to concentrate on their work without distractions. The panoramic LAMINATED anti-glare windscreen and fully glazed doors provide optimal visibility, however optional supplementary video cameras are available to provide an even wider view of the surrounding area. Safety is no less important either inside the cab, with seat belts and a Bluetooth radio, or outside with enhanced lighting of the sweeping area to ensure full visibility during night-time operation or in poor visibility.
Connectivity

Fleet monitoring and digitisation via Tenax Link facilitates the work of both owners and operators. Tenax Link offers targeted services and support, with constant monitoring to minimise downtime and operating costs. The goal is to guarantee use of the sweepers at an optimum level by eliminating all operating inefficiencies.
Compact dimensions

Its extremely compact size with reduced exterior dimensions and limited total mass allow Electra 1.0 to be used on any indoor or outdoor surface, making it extremely comfortable and manoeuvrable in urban environments.

Available Options

Supplementary colour camera

To aid the operator's view of the working area, Electra 1.0 can be equipped with a supplementary colour video camera installed on the suction inlet.
Washable fabric filter

For particularly wet climates, Electra 1.0 can be equipped with a special washable fabric filter which offers PM10 filtration performance and suction even in very damp conditions.
240 L DIN hopper

Electra 1.0 can be fitted with an adapter to take DIN wheelie bins with a reduced capacity of 240 l instead of 360 l in order to meet end customer requirements. This smaller size of container can also be used with standard plastic refuse sacks in order to facilitate emptying.
“Smart tipper” for raised offloading

The "Smart Tipper" electric raised offloading system allows offloading into bins and containers at a height of 1,400 mm, without any physical exertion required by the operator. This system is activated simply by means of an ergonomic, intuitive and easy to use push-button panel.
Leaf suction hose

The upper leaf suction hose is ideal for cleaning all areas which the Electra 1.0 cannot reach; it is 90 mm in diameter and 3 m long. its rigid and ergonomic handgrip increases operator comfort, and it is stowed on the rear part of the machine so as not to increase the side clearance.
Side doors with opening window

Side doors with opening windows can be installed on Electra 1.0 to increase operator comfort. The doors can be easily installed and removed depending on the season and to meet requirements. The doors are specifically designed to be easily converted into safety roll-bars as required.
Side safety roll-bars

Side safety roll-bars can be installed on Electra 1.0 for increased protection and operator safety. The roll-bars can be easily installed and removed depending on requirements.
Webasto heating systems

For countries with cold winters, Electra 1.0 can be equipped with a Webasto cab heater.
Top comfort seat

Electra 1.0 is equipped with a mechanically sprung driver seat with headrest and armrests to provide greater driving comfort for the operator.
Bluetooth USB Radio

Electra 1.0 can be fitted with a Bluetooth USB radio in the cab to provide the operator with greater safety while driving.
Supplementary LED lights

For greater visibility of the work area, Electra 1.0 can be equipped with supplementary LED lights on the inlet and brushes to allow use even in limited visibility.
