DSNY Unveils 1st All-Electric Street Sweeper In Effort To Reduce Carbon Footprint
By News 12 Staff, May 06, 2021, 5:43pm EDT • Updated on:May 06, 2021, 6:20pm EDT
The Department of Sanitation took a major step in efforts to reduce its carbon footprint Thursday by unveiling its first all-electric street sweeper in Brooklyn.
It’s the first battery-operated, zero-emissions broom to be used in the country.
"Thanks to the DSNY, every resident in New York enjoys clean streets -- but thanks to this all-electric broom, they can also enjoy clean air now as well,” said Project Manager at New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Jason Zimbler.
With over 400 street sweepers in use across the city, the new electric-powered vehicle will join the fleet to help clean the streets of Bushwick as part of a pilot program.
"We’re going to do a lot more of this work to ensure again that our sanitation workers are in the most state-of-the-art equipment that is safe, that is good for the environment,” said City Council member Antonio Reynoso.
Department of Sanitation Commissioner Edward Grayson says the sweepers are just as efficient, if not more than the diesel-powered ones. He says they are quieter and will make a huge impact on air quality.
"Every time we switch to a fully electric vehicle, we are reducing 100% the greenhouse gas impact,” said Grayson.
They said they hope by the beginning to reduce their carbon footprint, others will follow suit.
"We’re doing the right thing today in Brooklyn, we're doing the right thing for New York City, this goes nationwide, this goes worldwide,” said Grayson.
The DSNY says they hope to have a fully electric fleet by 2040 of both garbage trucks and street sweepers.

We mentioned in our last newsletter that 2020 was a challenging year for us all. We have all had to make sacrifices small and large. Here at Global, we are with you and as always, ready to support you as best we can.
We didn’t see our sweepers cleaning up after the famous New Year’s Eve party in Times Square this year due to the pandemic. Much of our wonderful country has been in some form of lockdown. Many businesses are closed, temporarily or even permanently. Travel has been hampered for families and commercially alike. We have all been touched by it in some manner.
However, cities around the USA continue to work hard to keep their communities clean, regardless of current challenges and obstacles. That is what we all do. Global Environmental Products has been on the cutting-edge of street sweeping technology for decades.
From Our Family to Your Family, Wishing You A Safe Holiday and A Prosperous New Year!

LET US HELP YOU FINANCE OR LEASE YOUR NEW STREET SWEEPER!
WHAT IS TAX˜EXEMPT MUNICIPAL FINANCING?
Municipalities have a variety of funding needs and institutional constraints. When new equipment is needed, funds aren’t always available. Tax-Exempt Municipal Financing allows local government entities to get the equipment they need now and through manageable installment payments that come from their operating budget.
Because no new debt is created, virtually every state, Tax-exempt Municipal
Financing does not require any form of voter approval.
HOW WILL LEASING
BENEFIT YOUR AGENCY?
LEVERAGE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS
Increasingly tight operating and capital budgets make it hard to acquire the equipment your agency needs. Leasing allows you to stretch out the cost over several years and get your equipment today.

Our Global "R" Purpose-Built LINE of street sweepers offer a unique perspective on street sweeping. All Regenerative-Air type Street sweepers currently on the market feature a Chassis such as Peterbuilt, Freightliner or Isuzu. The sweeper itself is mounted on the frame of the chassis and an additional engine designed to run the fan and the sweeping components.

Our Global R4Air is designed to overcome all these obsticles.
Purpose Built chassis allows for compact design and exceptional maneuverability (18.5' Turning Radius). Global Sweepers are engineered to help our customers maintain and service our sweepers! Our electrical locker combines ease of access but it also simplifies trouble shooting procedures.
