Innovative electrical solutions for park machinery

Investing in sustainable solutions is not just a vision for the future for K-vagnen – it is a necessity in order to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. Together with ETP, K-vagnen has developed a new generation of electrified machines that offer quieter, more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective alternatives to traditional petrol-powered machines.

K-vagnen, a leading player in park machinery since 1986, has recently launched two new electric machines: the K-SUGEN EL PARK leaf vacuum and the K-HEAT COMPACT PRO EL PARK weed burner. The machines are designed to provide customers, including municipalities, housing associations and golf courses, with the best possible tools for managing their green spaces efficiently and sustainably.

The K-SUGEN EL PARK leaf vacuum is a powerful device that efficiently collects leaves and debris. It is equipped with a robust ecomer motor that guarantees reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions. The K-HEAT COMPACT PRO EL PARK weed killer uses innovative technology that combats weeds using heat, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and protecting the environment.

The Advantages of Electrified Machines

By switching to electric machines, K-Vagnen's customers can enjoy several benefits:

More efficient use: Electric motors are much quieter than traditional petrol engines, making it possible to work at times without disturbing the surroundings, e.g. early in the morning or on public holidays.

Fossil-free operation: Customers do not need to handle or store petrol or diesel, which is more convenient, safer and more cost-effective.

Better working environment: The noise level is significantly lower and the work is carried out without the use of toxic exhaust fumes or emissions, creating a better working environment for the user.

Environmentally friendly: Electric machines contribute to a cleaner environment and help K-vagn's customers strengthen their green profile.

For municipalities, this means that park maintenance can be carried out with minimal disruption to residents. Housing associations can offer a quieter and more pleasant living environment, and golf courses can maintain their greens with consideration for both players and the environment.

The Role of ETP in Electrification

ETP has been instrumental in the development of K-vagnen's new electrified machines. Jörgen Olsson, CEO of K-vagnen, says: "We know exactly what our customers want – more environmentally friendly, quieter machines that are safe and efficient to use. We can offer all this with our new electrified machines. ETP has helped us meet our customers' requirements and developed high-performance electrified solutions that our customers love. ETP has been an invaluable partner."

Joakim Paulsson, account manager at ETP, adds: "We understand how important it is for K-vagnen to deliver reliable and efficient machines. By replacing petrol engines with electric power, we have not only improved the environmental impact but also increased user-friendliness and flexibility for K-vagnen's customers."

High-quality components and innovative thinking

ETP's electrification solutions use only the best components, including e-comer motors, Zapi control systems and Inventus batteries. These high-quality components ensure that the machines can withstand tougher use and deliver reliable performance every day of the week. One of the innovative features is the remote control for the leaf vacuum, which allows the machine to be switched off from a distance, saving energy and increasing safety. This solution is only possible thanks to the electrified drive.

To ensure that all solutions are robust and reliable, ETP has implemented comprehensive testing procedures. Each component undergoes extensive testing to ensure optimal performance and durability, both as an individual component and as part of a system. This includes testing under extreme conditions to ensure that the machines can perform in all environments.

One of our customers, a large housing association, has seen a reduction in fuel costs for their entire fleet by over 20% thanks to our electric machines. This means that the investment pays for itself in a short time, making it easier to decide to introduce new electrified solutions in the future. It's proof that sustainability and cost efficiency can go hand in hand.

Local Manufacturing and High Quality

All K-vagn machines are manufactured in Sweden, at the company's premises in Karlshamn. "We have a long tradition of machine manufacturing, and our products are of high quality and follow a long tradition," says Jörgen. "For our customers, this means that they can rely on Swedish quality, have direct contact with us and feel secure in the knowledge that all manufacturing takes place on home turf. Just as our customers feel secure with us, we feel completely secure with ETP, which is located locally and has all its manufacturing in Sweden."

Local manufacturing also means that K-vagnen can offer fast and efficient service. The company's technicians are available to assist customers with maintenance and repairs, ensuring minimal downtime and high customer satisfaction.

New Electrified Products – Already a Success

The new products have quickly become a sales success, and K-vagnen has already seen several successful implementations of its electrified solutions. For example, a large municipality in southern Sweden has reported a significant reduction in operating costs and an improved working environment after switching to the electric machines. Another customer, a well-known golf club, has seen an increase in member satisfaction thanks to the quiet operation and improved environmental profile.

ETP's Commitment to a Sustainable Future

ETP works purposefully to electrify its customers' machines. For K-vagnen, this has meant support through every step of the electrification journey. "Our goal is not only to deliver high-quality products, but also to offer long-term support and expertise. We are proud of our contribution to a greener and more sustainable future," says Joakim Paulsson.

“Our commitment extends beyond technology,” Joakim continues. “We actively work to educate K-vagnen and their dealers about the benefits of electrification and to help them transition to more sustainable methods. Through workshops, training programmes and ongoing support, we ensure that K-vagnen's customers have all the knowledge they need to take full advantage of our solutions."
