SWITCH Mobility is advancing the transition to sustainable urban infrastructure by introducing a new generation of electric vehicles designed specifically for municipal applications. As cities across India intensify efforts to meet net zero targets by 2030, electric mobility is emerging as a practical solution to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance service delivery in critical urban functions such as waste management and street cleaning.
At Municipalika 2026 in New Delhi, the company presented its latest electric sanitation solutions, highlighting their role in enabling cleaner, quieter, and more efficient city operations. These solutions are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of daily municipal services while addressing environmental concerns such as emissions and noise pollution.
A key highlight was the SWITCH IeV3 Garbage Tipper, a fully integrated electric vehicle developed for efficient waste collection. Designed with a closed body and built-in wet and dry waste segregation, the vehicle supports improved hygiene and streamlined disposal processes. Available in multiple capacity configurations, it offers reliable load handling for routine municipal operations. Its electric drivetrain, powered by an advanced lithium-ion battery, delivers a practical driving range suited for urban duty cycles while enabling fast charging to ensure high operational uptime.
The vehicle’s compact design and enhanced maneuverability make it well-suited for dense urban environments, allowing easy navigation through narrow lanes and congested areas. Features such as electric power steering, a comfortable driver cabin, and telematics integration further enhance usability and fleet efficiency. With reduced maintenance requirements and zero tailpipe emissions, it provides a sustainable alternative to conventional waste collection vehicles.
Also showcased was the SWITCH IeV4 Electric Road Sweeper, designed to deliver high-performance street cleaning with minimal environmental impact. Equipped with a vacuum-based sweeping system and integrated dust control, it ensures effective debris collection while reducing airborne pollution. Its optimised design supports operations across a wide range of urban settings, including roads, highways, and high-traffic zones.
Together, these electric solutions demonstrate how innovation in vehicle design and technology can transform municipal services. By combining operational reliability with sustainability, SWITCH Mobility is supporting cities in building smarter, cleaner, and more efficient urban ecosystems for the future.
