With its powerful 118 kW diesel engine with AdBlue additive and exhaust gas after-treatment system, the CityCat VR50 compact sweeper fulfils the stringent requirements of the latest Euro 6 emission standard.

The compact external measurements and selectable four-wheel steering give the vehicle superb manoeuvrability and guarantee maximum stability and active safety at all times during daily service runs.

The stainless steel hopper which boasts a huge payload capacity and the possibility of carrying a volume of 880l of clean water with you enable exceptionally long sweeping distances and very high fill levels.

An extra 1120-litre water tank can be installed to maximise operating time and the total water capacity to 2000 litre. Thanks to the high suction power, large hopper and enormous water supply, the service package sets new standards when it comes to performance and range.

The completely redesigned cab with all LED lights, central locking system and glass all around offers the operator maximum comfort and safety while providing a modern workplace. The Bucher CityCat VR50 is operated via the ergonomically designed and one-hand operated Smart-Con operating system. The CSense touch display includes all additional operating tools, getting rid of unnecessary switches in the cab, leaving the driver concentrated on the work ahead.

By activating the EasyClean self-cleaning function, the blower, filter screen, dirty water tank, sidewalls and other difficult to reach pockets of dirt are sprayed by the cleaning nozzles. The machine is perfectly clean within a couple of minutes.

Agile and fast

CityCat VR50 - Manoeuvrability

The compact outer dimensions, as well as the four-wheel steering that can be turned on and off, give the vehicle maximum manoeuvrability and ensure perfect directional stability and safety for everyday work.

Speed variants

CityCat VR50 - Speed

The compact 5 m³ CityCat VR50 is also available in an 80 km/h version, so transfers and cleaning operations are even possible on motorways.

Low-emission engine and high-efficiency drive system

CityCat 5006_Low-emission engine

The smooth-running, high-torque Euro 6 diesel engine with extremely low fuel consumption and emission levels allows exceptionally reliable and economical operation.

The control concept employed on the diesel engine is designed to optimise fuel consumption and reduce noise emissions without making any compromises in performance.

This means fuel savings of up to 50% and reductions in noise levels of 20% in comparison with previous models.

Excellent coverage

CityCat 5006

Fully variable positioning of the entire sweeping and suction nozzle unit to either side provides the optimum coverage.

The unit is protected from impact damage because it retracts when an obstacle is encountered. The hydraulically activated large panel filter makes it possible to take up bulky material.

With just the touch of a button on the control panel, the left or right side brush can be lifted if only one side is required. This protects the brushes from unnecessary wear.

High-capacity clean water volume

CityCat 5006

A capacity of 880 liters of clean water ensures long service times. An extra 1120-liter water tank can be installed to maximise operating time.

The service water recovery option ensures a higher fresh water coverage and less service water swept up.

Same volume, different dumping hight

CityCat VR50 Hopper

The CityCat VR50 has a hopper capacity of 5.6 and a payload of 5000 kg.

Raising the hopper with the option of the high dump feature allows the debris to be tipped into large containers, skips or directly into refuse collection vehicles. This dramatically increases efficiency.

The hopper volume remains the same and does not become smaller. The Hopper is available in different stainless steel materials for individual corrosion resistance.

Ergonomic and smart

Bucher CityCat VR50e Cabin

Each cabin comes with two fully fledged driver seats with headrests to offer not just a comfortable driving experience, but also an ergonomic workstation. In addition, a third folding seat can be installed, which allows the transport of three people at once.

We believe all drivers should enjoy working with our sweepers, so we’ve introduced a walk-through cab, soft touch steering and an armrest with ergonomically perfected controls. A great view out of the cab is not only provided by the big, heated front screen and all glass doors but also through the camera options of which the views can be displayed on the Smart-Con and CSense screens.

Of course, safety is crucial. From the 3-point safety belts to the enhanced illumination of the sweeping area - ensuring a safe overview and visibility for third parties - it’s our duty to take care.

Smart-Con - start sweeping with the push of a button

CityCat VR50 - Smart-Con

The CityCat VR50 offers an intuitive and ergonomic operation of the sweeper via the Smart-Con multifunctional armrest paired with the Smart-Con 4.3-inch display. The sweeper can be operated by one hand while having pop-up feedback on the Smart-Con screen for all automotive and sweeping related information which makes work a lot easier. Increases safety and ergonimics by always keeping the working area in sight.

CSense touch-display

CityCat VR50 - CSense

The CSense 10.1-inch touch display enables extended setting possibilities and visual diagnostics while giving an excellent overview of the vehicle. The display can be adjusted in height and angle to ensure an ergonomic operation by the driver.

EasyClean System

CityCat 5006

The operator simply activates the EasyClean self-cleaning function. The blower, filter screen, dirty water tank, side walls and other difficult to reach pockets of dirt are then sprayed by the cleaning nozzles. The machine is perfectly clean within a couple of minutes
