Ravo sweepers play a very important role in that. Aspects that are important to other large cities are certainly also important to Bordeaux: long uptime, good manoeuvrability, perfect local service, and a long service life of the machine. What also plays a role on the Gulf of Biscay is that the terrain is hillier than elsewhere – grades in excess of 15% are no obstacle for Ravo. There are currently 15 machines active in Bordeaux, with an equal number of happy drivers.
