100% Electric
Tenax International, a visionary company in the sustainable urban cleaning sector, which created its very first completely electric prototype of Electra 1.0 back in 2003, today can count on the trust of the most important Municipalities and service companies in the world, and can boast of the largest fleet of electric street sweepers and street washers in operation on the planet, managed through the most sophisticated geolocation and remote monitoring technologies, while guaranteeing truly unbeatable preventive and corrective maintenance and assistance services.
All products in the Tenax range are 100% electric by design. This means that the technological decisions in terms of weights, dimensions, absorptions and layouts are made for a product that is only and exclusively intended to be electric.

For this very reason, and unlike an electrified product, they greatly surpass 10 hours of constant and continuous work, with a broad range of available batteries capable of perfectly adapting to any customer technical or financial requirements, as well as offering extraordinary benefits in terms of silence and pollutant emissions. All of this with no operational limits and with extraordinary savings in terms of operating costs and fuel consumption, allowing for a confirmed return on investment in no more than 3 years.
