- 4 min read
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.
