BATTLE MOTORS TO PRESENT THE NEW 100% ELECTRIC BROOM BEAR ELGIN STREET SWEEPER AT ACT EXPO

ELGIN, Illinois – The Electric Broom Bear, the brand new all-electric street sweeper manufactured by Elgin Sweeper with a Battle Motors LNT EV chassis, will be showcased at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Anaheim, California May 2-4 at Booth 6778. The Electric Broom Bear is a first of its kind truck-mounted sweeper utilizing an all-electric chassis.

“We’ve taken today’s modern propulsion system and incorporated it with Elgin’s 100+ year history of sweeper innovations,” said Tim Letts, Product Manager, Elgin Sweeper. “We’re using modern technology to meet the modern demands and sustainability goals of our customers.”

With electric vehicles becoming a reality to meet zero emission vehicle (ZEV) targets and stricter emissions standards, the Electric Broom Bear delivers another option for customers to achieve their sweeping and sustainability goals. The Electric Broom Bear is Elgin’s latest innovation offering uncompromised performance. In addition to all the benefits of an electric vehicle including noise reduction and lower maintenance costs, the Electric Broom Bear has plenty of energy onboard, so customers can sweep and run their regular routes without worrying about getting home. It has enough energy for a full workload and some leftover for operators’ peace-ofmind.

Developed specifically for vocational use, the electric chassis is from Battle Motors, formerly Crane Carrier Company, which has a 76 year history of providing heavy duty trucks and has an extensive and highly trained dealer network for service and support. The electric LNT has been in service since 2022 across a variety of vocations including refuse, delivery and now sweeping. The additional weight of the electric chassis was taken into consideration when developing the Electric Broom Bear, and customers can rest at ease knowing the payload capacity is the same as a standard Broom Bear. The fully electric Battle Motors LNT is a narrow, nimble, and durable workhorse now delivering zero emissions, zero fuel costs, and lower maintenance costs. Good for the planet and good for business while reducing an environmental footprint.

“We are proud to collaborate with Elgin on bringing a Battle Motors LNT electric street sweeper to market. Our trucks produce zero emissions making them environmentally friendly, providing a cost effective solution to municipalities across the country. Together we are going to change cities nationwide with numerous benefits across the board,” said Mike Patterson, Battle Motors Chairman and CEO.

The charging port on the Electric Broom Bear is a standard SAE J1772 CCS, compatible with both level 2 continued on page 20 or level 3 chargers. Level 2 AC charging will enable overnight charging while Level 3 DC-DC charging will enable fast charging, if needed.
