Bucher Municipal is expected to buy 80 Volvo electric sewer cleaner trucks by the end of 2023. These trucks will be used to clean cities around Europe, thus increasing sustainability in this specific sector.

To meet this demand, Bucher Municipal, a leading supplier of municipal vehicles like street sweepers, winter maintenance equipment, refuse vehicles, and sewer cleaning trucks, has joined forces with Volvo Trucks to develop an all-electric sewer cleaner built on the Volvo FL Electric truck.
