Letts continued , “ Outside of a few purpose-built street sweepers our sweepers are mounted on truck chassis and to a certain extent the industry is reliant on the chassis manufactures for an electric chassis . Unfortunately for our industry , street sweepers are mounted on a chassis size that is not as high volume , which means the electric chassis are not yet readily available . Class 5 , 6 and 8 truck chassis are much more in demand , and therefore have received more R & D funding at the chassis manufacture to become electrified . With that said , we anticipate 2023 and 2024 will be exciting times in the sweeper industry .”
