Proton Motor and Swiss consortium unveil world first

Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH and the Swiss partner consortium hy.muve have unveiled the world’s first street cleaning vehicle with a fuel cell propulsion system.

Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH and the Swiss partner consortium hy.muve have unveiled the world’s first street cleaning vehicle with a fuel cell propulsion system.

The compact sweeper from Bucher Schörling is 3.78 metres (12.4 feet) long, 1.28 metres (4.2 feet) wide and has a maximum laden weight of 4.5 tons. The fuel cell’s nominal output is 20kw (27hp) and the vehicle’s maximum speed is 40km/h (25mph). The vehicle can operate for over seven hours on a full tank. It is filled with 6.5kg of gaseous hydrogen at 350 bar.

According to Proton Motor, it takes less than 10 minutes to fill the vehicle’s gas tank. Hydrogen is stored in pressurised canisters stowed behind the driver’s cab.

The vehicle’s propulsion concept involves replacing the conventional diesel engine with a fuel cell and battery system and the hydraulic drive train and operating hydraulics with The hybrid fuel cell propulsion system from hy.muve is a combination of a fuel cell and a lithium polymer battery. At its core is Proton Motor’s 20kw PM Basic A 20 fuel cell system.

Proton Motor says using hybrid technology can result in energy savings of around 50% compared to a diesel propulsion system. The operation is also completely emission-free.

The sweeper has been delivered to the Civil Engineering Office in Basle, Switzerland that is responsible for street cleaning which will test the vehicle as its first operator. Over the next 18 months, the sweeper will be extensively tested in different Swiss cities. During the practical trials, the sweeper’s operating performance and durability will be tested under everyday conditions. The partners in the project aim to make the new technology a reality and to encourage the implementation of other hydrogen-fuelled applications.

The compact sweeper vehicle was sponsored by funds from Switzerland and is the result of a co-operation agreement between Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH and the companies Bucher Schörling, Messer Schweiz AG, Brusa Elektronik AG, the Swiss materials testing and research institute Empa and the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Bucher Schörling, a municipal street cleaning vehicle manufacturer, was responsible for the vehicle and system integration, Proton Motor supplied the fuel cell propulsion system and Empa, which also provided designs for the electrical propulsion system, headed the project.

Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH, based in Puccheim, near Munich, is a fuel cell specialist that focuses on back-to-base applications for forklifts, city buses and stationary solutions. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Proton Power Systems plc.

Safe and clean roads

All our vehicles come with cutting-edge technology ensuring superior performance, ease of operation and economy.

Compact sweepers

The CitySpider, with its compact width of less than 1 metre, and the CityCat Series, featuring articulated or four-wheel steering, are built for exceptional manoeuvrability. This agility, coupled with the superior sweeping power of the front brushes, allows efficient, effective and precise cleaning in town centres, through pedestrian precincts, at bus stops, along the narrowest alleyways or in recreation areas. Ergonomic cabs equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and the leading-edge PSS (programmable sweeping system) electronic control system provide the ultimate in operator comfort and ease of operation. Outstanding suction performance, directional stability and durable aluminium or stainless steel components give you a machine that is not only built to last, but also protects the environment from dust and noise.

Truck mounted sweepers

Recognised as the world standard for this class of cleaning vehicle, the wide range of truck mounted sweepers delivers extremely strong suction and cleaning performance. Their robust construction using premium materials ensures a long service life and maximum operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness and availability. Especially easy to operate and maintain, they are ideal for daily use. And low noise levels are just another feature that makes them particularly suited to urban cleaning.

Airport sweepers

Powerful runway sweepers reliably keep airports operational all year round. Designed for versatility, these vehicles are working successfully across the globe, blowing away leaves, sand, gravel, metal debris, grass or snow, picking up aircraft de-icing fluid or serving as prime movers for snow sweepers. Tow-behind or compact truck mounted snow sweepers are brought into service especially for winter maintenance.

Snow blowers

Carrying on a long tradition of advances and enhancements, the four snow blower models with clearing capacities from 2,600 to 4,700 t/h offer unbeatable quality and performance. High engine power, infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission and blower drives, 4-wheel steering and impressive casting distances of up to 60 m ensure easy handling and efficient snow removal. Heavy-duty units with mechanically driven blower heads make light work of even the toughest of tasks on motorways, snowed-in roads and airports.

Certified quality

Bucher Schörling’s competence centres are naturally ISO 9001:2000 certified, manufacturing vehicles that meet the high expectations of our customers around the world.
