Hybrid technology has it

Hybrid combination sweeperscrubber, the Nilfisk CS7000, is being acclaimed for its ecological credentials, says the company.

Available in three models: LPGHybrid, Diesel-Hybrid and ePower Battery, it reduces the cost of operation, labour and maintenance, while increasing fuel economy and runtime efficiency.

Electric drive technology enables reduced emissions with the LPG and Diesel models and emission-free indoor operation with the ePower technology on battery models. Electric hybrid technology means that the engine drives a large alternator to generate electricity and a 36 volt battery pack provides energy storage.

The hybrid system claims fuel savings of up to 30%.
