NUFAM 2023 Embraces Innovation and Sustainability in Commercial Vehicle Industry
The commercial vehicle industry gathered at NUFAM 2023 in Karlsruhe from September 21 to 24, attracting approximately 24,000 visitors. This year's event showcased a strong focus on alternative drives, digitization, and sustainability, with a particular emphasis on battery-electric and hydrogen-driven commercial vehicles, advanced digitized fleet management systems, sustainable intralogistics solutions, and enhanced vehicle accessories and safety equipment.
Speedywash, a Bavarian brush washing system specialist, was among the exhibitors at NUFAM 2023. The company showcased its Battery Easydrive model, a battery-operated, quiet, and emission-free mobile brush washing system. Notable features of the Battery Easydrive include a height-adjustable and movable steering tiller that can be mounted on one or both sides of the brush washing system, allowing for easy movement and reducing washing time to under ten minutes in most cases. Speedywash also offered an optional water-saving system for their brush washing system.
In addition to the Battery Easydrive, Speedywash highlighted its commitment to water-saving and sustainability by showcasing equipment options such as the use of rainwater, battery charging, and cable-bound systems with PV power.
