The battery body weighs only 200 kilos and carries the same cubic metres of water as other systems.

The first cistern manufactured with a lithium battery has recently left Surtruck’s facilities. Its destination, the town of Vilaseca, having been acquired by Urbaser. It is a very technologically advanced and lightweight piece of equipment, as the battery body weighs only 200 kilos. The passenger compartment is integrated into the tank and it has managed to hold practically the same cubic metres of water as a hydrostatic system.

In addition to these features, the tank can be operated with the chassis switched off, fuel consumption is reduced, pollutant emissions from the chassis are reduced, as are maintenance costs. Not to mention the fact that the equipment is classified as having zero pollutant emissions and zero noise emissions. And one of the most important features: the system is 100% safe for the operator, since it works at 48 volts, a peace of mind for both the company and the staff.
