Reducing Your Carbon Footprint As You Reduce Costs.

The Advantages of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Equipment.

As part of its mission to help create a cleaner, healthier environment, Elgin offers plug-in hybrid electric technology in our Broom Bear mechanical sweeper. Hybrids combine both a conventional engine and electric motor to deliver significantly better fuel efficiency with reduced emissions. With our “plug-in” technology, the high-capacity battery can be recharged while driving or when plugged into an electrical outlet.

With Elgin’s plug-in hybrid system you sacrifice none of the performance you expect from an Elgin street sweeper while helping to fight climate change and improve air quality. At the heart of the system is a lithium-ion battery that delivers long-duty cycle operation. Lithium batteries deliver a longer lifespan, fast recharging, and lower total cost of ownership over conventional batteries.

Elgin’s plug-in hybrid electric system offers you significant advantages:

  • Advanced lithium-ion battery for longer duty cycle operation
  • Reduced emissions for improved air quality
  • Lower fuel costs
  • Quieter operation benefitting both the operator and residents
  • Charge on the go or with an SAE J11772 charging receptacle
  • Uncompromised performance and water capacity
  • Greater energy conservation with pause-sweep functionality
  • Seamless and automatic transition between hybrid and conventional systems

Elgin’s innovative electric motor can be paired with either a diesel engine or – for even greater reductions in emissions – our compressed natural gas technology.

Hybrid Technology

The hybrid Broom Bear uses a high-capacity battery to power the sweeper. The battery can be recharged while driving or when plugged into an electrical outlet.

Designed to tackle everything from heavy-duty construction debris, such as millings or gravel, to light street maintenance, the hybrid sweeper’s performance, speeds, capacity, and its availability to work all day remains unchanged from the standard Broom Bear sweeper.
