As cities, parks, resorts, airports, and commercial facilities strive to maintain cleaner public spaces while reducing operational costs and emissions, the demand for compact and efficient municipal cleaning equipment continues to grow.

TICAB introduces CITY BEETLE — an innovative self-propelled electric waste collection and sorting vehicle designed to simplify urban cleaning operations. Compact, eco-friendly, and highly maneuverable, CITY BEETLE helps municipalities, facility management companies, cleaning contractors, and public service providers improve productivity while supporting sustainable urban development.

What makes CITY BEETLE unique is that it is available in two different configurations, allowing customers to choose the solution that best matches their operational needs.

What Is CITY BEETLE?

CITY BEETLE is a self-propelled electric waste collection cart designed for collecting, transporting, and sorting litter in public spaces.

Unlike traditional cleaning carts that require manual pushing, CITY BEETLE uses an electric drive system to move independently, reducing operator fatigue and increasing efficiency.

The machine is ideal for:

  • City streets and sidewalks

  • Parks and recreational areas

  • Hotels and resorts

  • Airports and transport hubs

  • Shopping centers

  • Universities and campuses

  • Industrial sites

  • Municipal maintenance services

Its compact size allows operators to work comfortably in narrow pedestrian areas, crowded public spaces, and locations where larger street cleaning machines cannot operate efficiently.

Two Versions of CITY BEETLE for Different Cleaning Tasks

To meet various operational requirements, TICAB offers CITY BEETLE in two configurations.

CITY BEETLE Walk-Behind Version

The first version is a self-propelled electric cleaning cart guided by the operator using a front handle.

Although the machine moves independently, the operator walks behind or alongside it, controlling direction and speed with minimal physical effort.

This configuration is particularly suitable for:

  • Parks and pedestrian zones

  • Hotel and resort complexes

  • Urban sidewalks

  • Public gardens

  • Educational campuses

  • Historic city centers

Advantages of the Walk-Behind CITY BEETLE

  • Lightweight and highly maneuverable

  • Reduced operator fatigue

  • Easy operation in confined spaces

  • Quiet electric drive

  • Zero local emissions

  • Excellent visibility during waste collection

For organizations that need a practical and economical urban cleaning solution, the walk-behind CITY BEETLE offers exceptional flexibility and efficiency.

CITY BEETLE Ride-On Version

or larger territories and intensive daily cleaning operations, TICAB offers a ride-on version of CITY BEETLE.

In this configuration, the operator sits comfortably behind the steering wheel and drives the machine like a compact electric municipal vehicle.

The ride-on CITY BEETLE significantly increases productivity when cleaning large areas and reduces physical strain during long work shifts.

Ideal Applications for the Ride-On Version

  • Large municipal areas

  • Airports

  • Industrial facilities

  • Shopping centers

  • Resort complexes

  • Stadiums

  • Large public parks

  • Business districts

Advantages of the Ride-On CITY BEETLE

  • Increased operator comfort

  • Faster waste collection operations

  • Higher productivity

  • Efficient coverage of large areas

  • Reduced labor costs

  • Professional municipal cleaning performance

The ride-on version combines the compact dimensions of a cleaning cart with the efficiency of a small electric utility vehicle.

Waste Collection and Sorting in One Machine

CITY BEETLE is not simply a waste collection vehicle.

The machine is designed to support waste sorting operations directly during collection, helping municipalities and facility managers improve recycling programs and reduce waste management costs.

Operators can separate different types of waste while cleaning public spaces, making the entire process more organized and environmentally responsible.

This functionality is increasingly important as cities adopt sustainable waste management strategies and seek cleaner urban environments.

Eco-Friendly Municipal Cleaning Equipment

Environmental responsibility is becoming a priority for municipalities worldwide.

CITY BEETLE supports green urban maintenance through:

  • Fully electric operation

  • Zero exhaust emissions

  • Low energy consumption

  • Reduced noise levels

  • Sustainable waste collection practices

The machine can operate comfortably in pedestrian zones, residential neighborhoods, tourist destinations, and environmentally sensitive areas where traditional fuel-powered equipment may be undesirable.

Why Municipalities Choose CITY BEETLE

Compared to conventional waste collection carts and cleaning vehicles, CITY BEETLE offers several important advantages:

  • Self-propelled electric drive

  • Compact dimensions

  • Waste collection and sorting capability

  • Low operating costs

  • Easy maintenance
