Overview

The first three-wheel heavy-duty plug-in 100% electric street sweeper. 250 kWh lithium-ion battery pack delivers up to a full shift of sweeping at zero emissions. 12.5-foot turning radius, 5.6 cubic yard hopper, 25 mph top travel speed.

Key Features

World's first three-wheel heavy-duty plug-in electric mechanical street sweeper

250 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, up to full shift continuous sweeping

10-year battery life span, batteries designed to last, not to be replaced

SAE J1772 Level II 240V charging in 9–11 hours, SAE J1772 Level III Supercharging in 2–3 hours

12.5-foot turning radius with 5.6 cubic yard hopper and 12,000 lb lift capacity

3–11 mph sweeping speed, 25 mph top travel speed, 3 tons per minute sweep rate

Zero emissions, zero DEF, no DPF regeneration, very quiet sweeping operation

230-gallon water tank with on-board dust suppression

Who This Is For

Cities with zero-emission mandates that still need real municipal sweeping performance, not a glorified parking-lot broom. The M3EV is the only heavy-duty three-wheel plug-in electric street sweeper in the USA, so if your emission-reduction program requires a tight-turning sweeper for residential or downtown routes, this is the platform.

Ideal Applications

Zero-emission municipal sweeping under state or city electrification mandates

Early-morning residential sweeping where quiet operation matters

Downtown and historic-district routes with environmental regulations

Indoor and covered-facility sweeping (parking garages, transit depots)

Fleet pilot programs proving out EV viability before large-scale rollout

What Sets It Apart

The only heavy-duty three-wheel plug-in electric street sweeper made in the USA. Most competitors in the EV space offer compact, light-duty sweepers that can't handle real municipal debris, the M3EV is a full-duty mechanical sweeper with a 250 kWh battery pack that runs an entire shift. DC Fast Charging recharges in 2–3 hours so a second shift isn't blocked. Eliminating the diesel engine also eliminates DPF regeneration, DEF refills, and oil changes, the three biggest service-interval pain points on conventional sweepers. 10-year battery design life means no mid-service-life replacement cost.

Common Upgrade Path

Municipalities required to meet fleet electrification mandates who can't find a heavy-duty EV sweeper that actually works on their routes, or operations buying diesel three-wheelers and retrofitting them, a poor substitute for a purpose-built electric drivetrain.

When to Consider a Different Model

If your routes are primarily arterial or highway-speed, the M4EV offers the same zero-emission benefit at highway speed (55 mph top) and 18.5-foot turning radius. If electrification isn't mandated and diesel is acceptable, the M3 costs substantially less upfront.
