The hydrostatic, soundproofed model is ready for operation as training for its use has already been carried out.

The municipal cleaning company of the Alcalá de Guadaira Town Council, AIRA, has taken delivery of a state-of-the-art watering and flushing cistern manufactured by Surtruck in accordance with the technical specifications, and is now ready for operation, as Antonio Venegas, Surtruck’s Commercial Director of Street Cleaning, explains, “we have trained the municipal staff. Our trainers have explained the operation of the tanker to nine operators so that they can get the most out of it”.

This is the first cleaning vehicle that Surtruck has manufactured for Alcalá City Council and Antonio Venegas highlights the fact that it has been delivered on time. “It has been difficult to meet the deadlines set by the tender due to the shortage of raw materials and the difficulties imposed on us by the market in terms of distribution of materials and costs, but we have finally succeeded,” he says.

Venegas emphasises that this is a state-of-the-art cistern, a soundproof hydrostatic model, which will meet the demands of a population of the size of Alcalá de Guadaíra and the trend towards sustainability, without emissions and with maximum efficiency, which is the hallmark of today’s society.
