New Compact Sweeper – Bucher CityCat VR17e
Urban cleaning reaches a new level. Presenting the Bucher CityCat VR17e – a fully electric compact sweeper designed within the 3.5 t vehicle class. It combines outstanding zero-emission performance, advanced design, and future-ready technology.
Exceptional Maneuverability and Performance
The Bucher CityCat VR17e features the best turning circle in its class – 4370 mm (kerb to kerb), allowing easy maneuvering even in the tightest urban streets. Hydrostatic four-wheel steering ensures precise and efficient driving, while its compact dimensions allow access to narrow streets, bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and restricted-access areas.
Productivity Without Compromise
- Robust aluminium hopper with 1.7 m³ capacity and 1400 kg payload
- 225 l recirculated water for continuous operation
- Independently controlled brushes with adjustable sweeping width from 1200 mm to 2400 mm
- DC fast charger with 45 kWh for 60-minute charging
Operator Comfort and Ergonomics
The cabin is designed around the operator: air-suspended driver seat, low vibrations, intuitive controls, and a shared HMI system familiar from other Bucher Municipal compact sweepers. The Smart-Con armrest and digital displays keep all functions at hand, reducing fatigue and increasing productivity.
Quiet and Environmentally Friendly Operation
Fully electric drive enables quiet operation at 91 dB(A), ideal for cleaning city areas even late in the evening or early morning. Zero emissions and low operating costs make the CityCat VR17e a sustainable and economical investment for municipal fleets.
Connected and Future-Ready
The Bucher Connect system and support for Software Over-The-Air (SOTA) keep the machine always updated with the latest features and improvements, reducing the need for workshop visits. Optimized service intervals and digital connectivity allow better fleet management and lower costs.
Economical and Durable
Built on the shared Bucher Municipal platform, the CityCat VR17e simplifies maintenance, spare parts management, and operator training. Low operating costs, durability, and fast DC charging ensure maximum productivity and long-term cost efficiency.
The Bucher CityCat VR17e is not just a sweeper – it’s a smart investment for cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable cities.
