Trondheim Municipality, c/o Trondheim Urban Operations, would like to invite suppliers to a market dialogue on the procurement of an electric road washer truck for street washing. The intention is to obtain information on what opportunities and products are available in the market. Trondheim Municipality has a long term ambition to replace the current vehicles with fossile free vehicles.

The vehicle in question will replace a fossile driven road washer truck. The current need is that the vehicle will be used year round for hosing down assignments. The current use is hosing down roller ski tracks, sports grounds, bridges, walls, noise reduction screens, street washing, as well as public areas in Trondheim city.

For the flushing aggregate we would like a flushing arm that can be lifted above signs (3 metres), and be used below and around street furniture.

Furthermore, the information is wanted on the following points, including what options and solutions are available:

Body

- Flushing arm: Mobility and range

- Possibility for an additional hose/drum for small hosing down of areas up to 20 metres.
