Berlin startup ENWAY operates autonomous sweeper in Singapore

Test phase started of the world's first fully electric autonomous sweeper by ENWAY, Bucher Municipal, Nanyang Technological University and other partners

For the past few weeks, the autonomous road sweeper from ENWAY and Bucher Municipal is cleaning Singapore’s roads. At first glance, the big orange street sweeper in Cleantech Park and the NTU campus doesn't look all that special. For this reason, distinctive markings clearly indicate to all road users that this is an autonomous and therefore completely self-driving sweeper - a rarity, not only in Singapore.

In Europe, ENWAY focuses on the operation of autonomous electric sweepers in an industrial environment. The autonomous industrial sweeper B1, which is much smaller than the street sweeper in Singapore, has already proven itself in production facilities, large warehouses and recycling depots, for example.

It has been shown, however, that the step towards autonomous floor cleaning is coming into focus all over the world.
