One Giant Leap for Hounslow Highways!
Posted on: February 17, 2026 at 11:09 amWe’re proud to announce the acquisition of a brand-new, all-electric sweeper for Hounslow Highways: the Scarab RAVO E2. This milestone reflects Hounslow Highways’ forward-thinking commitment to sustainability and innovation as we take a giant leap towards reducing our environmental impact without compromising performance.
The RAVO E2 has joined Hounslow Highways’ street cleansing fleet to support a range of essential services to maintain and enhance the borough’s public spaces.
Speaking on the purchase, Scott Burborough (Cleansing Operations Manager, Hounslow Highways) said: “The [RAVO E2] caught my eye straight away. We worked [the sweeper] hard while on demonstration, the operator was very keen to put the sweeper to the test and push the boundaries of the battery’s [autonomy]. It really performed well, it did everything we needed to do, and it didn’t finish the shift short of charge. It was a no-brainer for us!”.
The RAVO E2 represents a new era in street sweeping, blending cutting-edge technology with exceptional efficiency to support cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable urban environments. Its compact design and advanced electric technology made it the perfect fit for Hounslow Highways, offering both environmental and operational benefits. The E2 will help to reduce emissions, noise pollution, and water consumption, while delivering high-performance street cleansing to align with the borough’s commitment to delivering a ‘Cleaner, Greener Hounslow’ for residents.
