HUSQVARNA CEORA

KICKSTARTS A NEW ERA

IN COMMERCIAL TURF CARE

Husqvarna CEORA™ , the muchanticipated solution for commercial turf care management , is finally here . CEORA™ is expected to revolutionise an industry dominated by heavy , conventional diesel mowers that require manual operation , as it can independently mow an area the equivalent of up to eight football pitches day or night . This significantly reduces overall costs and allows staff to focus on value-adding tasks . The electric operation minimises noise and reduces emissions to zero *. The machine itself is purpose built to be autonomous and is designed with safety in mind . Key features include its light weight , safer blades and ability to detect objects and move around them . In the future , the ground-breaking solution of
CEORA™ opens up for a wide range of accessories , including to help with fertilizing , lawn striping or collecting golf balls .
Husqvarna has been the pioneer in helping millions of homeowners make the switch from manual mowers to robotic . Now Husqvarna takes commercial turf care into the next era by offering a large-scale robotic solution that increases the quality of the lawn whilst reducing costs by approximately 30 % compared with conventional commercial mowers **. CEORA™ makes the lawn greener and denser thanks to its unique cutting technology , low weight and opportunity to mow more frequently . Instead of manually operating the mower , professionals simply use their smartphones to control how , when and where CEORA™ mows . The performance on the lawn is efficient and systematic , mowing in a lane-by-lane sequence . Maintenance during the season is limited to changing blades and cleaning .
“ Commercial turf care is about to be revolutionised thanks to CEORA™ . I am confident that it will be a much-appreciated addition to any team of landscape professionals - a quiet , smart and autonomous colleague that will happily perform the most tedious tasks whenever needed . Not only is the pitch always ready for play , professionals free up their time for other tasks .” says Valentin Dahlhaus , Vice President at Husqvarna .
