Best Tools Company was present at the 2024 edition of IFAT, the most important international trade fair for water, wastewater, waste, and raw materials management, held in Munich, Germany. With a division dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions in sanitation, snow removal, waste management, and industrial cleaning, our presence at IFAT was an excellent opportunity to discover innovations in these fields and deepen our commitment to sustainability.
As a prestigious event, all manufacturers represented by Best Tools’ “Sanitation” division in Romania and neighboring countries were present as exhibitors. They showcased the latest models of launched equipment, the newest developed technologies, and organized demonstrations and conferences.
Bucher Municipal
At IFAT 2024, Bucher Municipal exhibited its extensive range of vehicles and equipment for street cleaning, sewer cleaning, and winter road maintenance. The displayed vehicles and equipment were equipped with the latest technologies, including traditional, electric, and hydrogen propulsion. Additionally, the equipment impressed with AI-based assistance systems aimed at reducing driver workload in their daily tasks. The intelligent solution “Bucher Connect” connects vehicles and provides fleet managers with an overview of all owned equipment.
One of the main attractions at Bucher Municipal’s booth at IFAT was the indoor demonstration area where two specially designed assistance functions for compact sweepers were presented. These functions aim to ease the driver’s work and increase operational safety.
– SafeSweep: This collision avoidance assistance system alerts the driver in real-time to potential collisions, considering the positions of the front and side brushes and the vehicle itself. If the driver does not react to an imminent collision, SafeSweep intervenes and automatically reduces the vehicle’s speed to prevent the accident.
– PathFollow: This assistance system enhances sweeper operation by automatically aligning the vehicle with the road edge, allowing fully autonomous maneuvering alongside curbs or parked cars. PathFollow is activated by the driver and uses onboard cameras and lidar technology to recognize the road edge.

The Irish manufacturer displayed numerous machines at IFAT, including the MX, CX, and CV350 models. These multifunctional machines are among the most popular worldwide, streamlining municipal operations and beyond.
