Switch Mobility presented its range of electric sanitation solutions at the Municipalika 2026 conference in New Delhi. The company introduced purpose-built electric vehicles designed for waste collection and street cleaning to support municipal transitions toward zero-emission urban operations.

The IeV3 Garbage Tipper is a factory-fitted electric vehicle designed for urban waste management. It features a closed body with integrated partitions for wet and dry waste and a customisable tipping angle for discharge.

It is available in 2.5, 3, and 3.5 cubic metre configurations. Supports up to 900 kg with the tipper and 1,250 kg in fixed side deck (FSD) format. It comes equipped with a 25.6 kWh lithium-ion battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which delivers a claimed real-world range of 140 km and a top speed of 70 kmph, with a gradeability of 22 percent. A 300V architecture allows charging to 80 percent in approximately 55 minutes.

On the other hand, the IeV4 Electric Road Sweeper is engineered for dust control and debris collection on urban roads, highways and airports. The vehicle utilises a 6-inch vacuum suction system and vacuum-operated brushes to reduce airborne particulate matter.

It comes with a 2.0 cubic metre waste tank and a 500-litre water tank for dust suppression. Features a 1.5-metre dumping height to facilitate waste handling. A compact footprint and quiet electric drivetrain allow for operation in residential and commercial zones with minimal noise disruption.

The transition to electric municipal fleets is intended to reduce fuel dependency and maintenance requirements compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. Both the IeV3 and IeV4 incorporate telematics solutions for real-time fleet monitoring and utilization tracking. These vehicles are designed to navigate narrow city lanes while providing zero-emission performance in densely populated areas.

Daimler Buses has reached a production milestone with the 40,000th Mercedes-Benz Tourismo rolling off the assembly line in early 2026. The high-deck coach, which debuted in 1992, remains a high-volume model within the European touring sector.

The Tourismo has transitioned through three generations, expanding from a single 12-metre variant to a range of models between 12 and 14 metres in length.

• First Generation (1992): Launched as the O 340 and later the O 350, it established a position in the business-class coach segment.
• Second Generation (2006): Introduced two- and three-axle variants and integrated the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). By 2015, the model surpassed 10,000 sales and added Lane Assist and emergency braking systems.
• Third Generation (2017–Present): Focused on aerodynamic efficiency, achieving a drag coefficient of cw = 0.33. This generation introduced Active Brake Assist 4 and Sideguard Assist.

The current iteration, highlighted by the 2023 Safety Coach upgrade, includes several technical advancements aimed at operational efficiency and passenger protection. It features Active Brake Assist 6 Plus, MirrorCam, Frontguard Assist and Attention Assist.

The bus now features an automatic body-lowering function that drops the chassis by 20 mm at 79 kmph to improve fuel economy. Maintenance is supported by the Omniplus digital platform, which includes an eShop for parts and 3D-printed components produced locally to reduce the CO2 footprint.

Mirko Sgodda, Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services at Daimler Buses, said, “Across all three generations of the high-deck coach, Daimler Buses has consistently further developed and refined the Mercedes-Benz Tourismo concept. We have always kept our customers, bus drivers and passengers in mind. This applies to efficiency, comfort, design and, of course, exemplary active and passive safety. This is the only way the Tourismo could become Europe’s best-selling touring coach.”
