| 摘要： | Always eager to cut emissions, some local authorities are switching to battery-powered road sweepers; but there is a penalty to pay. "A 3.5-tonne electric sweeper can be two-and-a-half to three times the price of its diesel equivalent," points out Mark Fellows, UK sales manager for sweeper manufacturer Hako. Sweepers grossing at 3.5 tonnes are understandably popular because they can be operated by anybody with a car driver's licence without the need to take a separate test. Compact dimensions and the widespread use of articulated chassis mean they can be manoeuvred into areas too tight for larger vehicles. Their steep front-end cost means that electric machines are only being adopted slowly, but councils that acquire them are discovering their running costs are far lower than those of their diesel counterparts, says Fellows. "They require 50% to 75% less servicing," he reports. |
