Finnish firm Tombia Technologies has taken street sweepers to the next level with the world’s first fully autonomous and emission-free high-powered street cleaning technology – born in Finland.
Trombia Free is the world’s only high power, autonomous and electric street sweeper system that is designed to automate industrial districts or closed municipal environments cleaning at once. The system includes sweeper units, docking station for autonomous emptying and washing, remote monitoring center and advanced Helpdesk and support services.

Trombia Free cleaning devices use less than 15% of the power required by currently available heavy suction sweeping technologies. This unlocks the potential for mass-electrification and carbon-neutralization of one of the heaviest vehicle technologies currently in use in the cities globally.

The machine uses Lidar (light detection and ranging) and satellite data to map its environment and can then perform shifts day and night using less than 15 per cent of energy of a traditional sweeper and performs up to 30 000 m2 of high power cleaning per charge.

The CEO of Finnish-based Trombia Technologies, Antti Nikkanen, says of his company’s new autonomous electric sweeper: “This the first time in the global heavy equipment industries that a diesel-fueled heavy equipment vehicle is electrified without compromising the power and performance capabilities. Trombia Free is also the world’s first street cleaning device that is built to be operated fully autonomous in all-weather conditions in the modern smart cities and industrial destinations”.
And it’s quiet too!
