Kadrioru Park maintains Tallinn cemeteries and Kadrioru Park with electric Addax utility vehicles
Our goal in Puhastusimport is to contribute to reducing the CO2 footprint by offering our customers environmentally friendly, innovative, and ergonomic cleaning tools. Therefore, we are very happy to announce that Kadrioru Park, the city enterprise responsible for managing and maintaining Tallinn’s cemeteries and Kadrioru Park, has introduced new electric Addax utility vehicles. Electric vehicles are better suited for the conditions of cemeteries and parks than internal combustion engine machines, as they do not pollute the air in urban area or disturb cemetery or park visitors.
Significant contribution to fulfilling Tallinn's climate goals
According to Deputy Mayor Vladimir Svet, the decision to rent electric utility vehicles was guided by the city’s environmental goals, taking into account their main usage. “The addition of five new utility vehicles to our fleet is small, but a significant contribution to fulfilling Tallinn’s climate goals – we are increasingly using electric maintenance equipment in the city. Cemeteries are places where maintenance and cleaning operations must be delicate, causing minimal disturbance to visitors, and electric maintenance vehicles are well-suited for this purpose,“ said Svet.
Environmentally friendly Addax electric tippers will be used for various maintenance tasks in cemeteries. Kadrioru Park manages Siselinna, Rahumäe, Hiiu-Rahu, Pirita, Liiva, Pärnamäe, and Metsakalmistu cemeteries. Four machines will serve the cemeteries, and one will be used in Kadrioru Park. According to Ain Järve, the director of Kadrioru Park, electric vehicles are well-suited for cemetery pathways. “Since ancient times, it has been taken into account that there must be enough space for a horse and hearse to move around in the cemetery,“ said Järve. According to Järve, cemetery workers used to transport tools and materials in the bucket of a tractor before, but now everything can be delivered more quietly.
Addax – compact, narrow and quiet utility vehicle
Utility vehicles are one of the major sources of noise and CO2 emissions. As humans, we can make environmentally friendly choices to preserve our enironment. With Addax Motors’ electric utility vehicles, you can reduce loud noise and polluted air in urban areas without compromising on the quality of the vehicle or your user experience.
Martin Lill, the CEO of Puhastusimport OÜ, noted that Addax has experience in the Nordic countries, and there are no problems with the vehicle or its battery even in winter conditions. “It is a compact, narrow, and quiet utility vehicle, which is comfortable for user and suitable for maneuvering in the tight conditions of cemeteries. The procurement of Kadrioru Park is an example for other municipalities, which are also considering improving maintenance works taking into account the well-being of employees, residents and the enironment,“ explained Lill.
Each Addax utility vehicle is customizable according to your needs:
- for landscaping and cleaning tasks;
- for waste management;
- for parcel and freight transport;
- as a work vehicle for technicians and repair teams;
- it is possible to add a Rontex snow plough for winter work.
The battery has a five-year warranty and depending on the version, the top speed of the vehicle is 55–70 km/h and the driving range is 87–132 kilometres.
