New Sweeper Developed at Bauman Moscow State Technical University

Young engineers at Bauman Moscow State Technical University have developed the "Electro MK-E533-01" sweeper for cleaning urban areas. The project was implemented by the Youth Design Bureau (KBM) with the support of the Interuniversity Student Engineering and Technology Corporation (MSITC) in collaboration with Ryazhsk Automobile Repair Plant JSC. The hybrid-powered vehicle is ready for mass production.

The new vehicle is equipped with a 15 kW three-phase asynchronous electric motor with a 72 V lithium-ion battery providing 4 hours of operation, or a 36 kW diesel engine. The articulated frame and all-wheel drive ensure maneuverability on difficult surfaces. The sweeping width is 2.1 meters, the waste container volume is 1 cubic meter, and the 170-liter irrigation system suppresses dust dispersion. Additional equipment such as a blade, cylindrical brush, and high-pressure washer expands functionality.

The development has been underway since 2019 within the framework of the MSITC, which unites universities and research centers. Students gained access to engineering schools and industry resources, which made it possible to create a completely domestic vehicle, with the exception of certain hydraulic elements, which can be replaced by analogues. The project became part of the training of young specialists through practical tasks.
