Commercial vehicle
With a robust design and reliable mechanics, our equipment the efficient washing of any fleet of industrial vehicles such as buses, coaches, trucks, and all kinds of special vehicles. In addition, we design and install custom washing systems for washing trains, trams and internal refrigerated vehicles.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE WASHING
The maintenance and cleaning of commercial vehicle fleets is essential to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable operations. Washing technology for this sector has evolved significantly, offering automated solutions that optimise resource use, reduce washing times, and improve operational efficiency.
Technology and efficiency in washing
Commercial vehicle washing solutions feature robust and versatile structures designed to adapt to different types of fleets — from trucks, buses, and coaches to special vehicles with irregular surfaces. The combination of high-density brushes, high-pressure systems, and foaming chemical spraying provides deep and uniform cleaning in every process.
To optimise resource consumption, these systems are equipped with advanced technologies that help reduce water and energy usage, improve chemical dosing, and minimise environmental impact. In addition, integration with digital platforms facilitates remote management and monitoring of each wash, ensuring detailed control of consumption and equipment maintenance.
Washing options according to each fleet’s needs
Commercial washing systems can be configured for various requirements, including:
- Automated washing with rollover or drive-through system: Equipment designed to optimise cleaning times, either through a flexible rollover system or by allowing washing without stopping the vehicle.
- High-pressure cleaning: Touchless solutions ideal for vehicles with irregular or hard-to-reach surfaces, such as tankers or waste collection trucks.
- Specific systems for interior hygiene: Equipment designed for the disinfection of refrigerated trailers, ensuring deep cleaning with controlled application of disinfectants and high pressure.
- Pre-wash and waste treatment systems: Options such as underbody washing, water recycling systems, and hydrocarbon separation units that enhance process sustainability.
Digitalisation and sustainability
Using digital management platforms allows automation and optimisation of each wash, offering real-time reports, consumption monitoring, and remote maintenance. These tools not only improve operational efficiency but also provide greater traceability in specific processes such as disinfection of vehicles transporting food or sensitive goods.
Washing solutions for commercial vehicles are designed with a focus on sustainability, incorporating water recycling systems, energy consumption optimisation, and technologies that reduce the environmental impact of the washing process.
With these innovations, commercial fleet cleaning becomes more efficient, profitable, and environmentally friendly, ensuring the best operational performance with minimal resource impact.
Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial Vehicle Washing
What types of vehicles can be washed with these commercial washing systems?
These washing solutions are designed for a wide variety of commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses, refrigerated trailers, trams, trolleybuses, and vehicles with irregular surfaces such as tankers or waste trucks.
How is water and energy consumption optimised in washing equipment?
The washing systems include optimisation technologies such as independent solenoid valve control, water circuit zoning, and recycling of up to 92% of the water used, reducing consumption and improving energy efficiency.
Is it possible to automate fleet washing management?
Yes, the equipment can be integrated with digital platforms that allow washing programs to be scheduled and monitored, track consumption in real time, and receive maintenance alerts, ensuring complete operational control.
What advantages does drive-through washing offer compared to other systems?
Drive-through washing allows vehicles to be cleaned without stopping, reducing waiting times and increasing operational efficiency for public transport and freight fleets.
How is hygiene ensured in the washing and disinfection of refrigerated trailers?
Interior washing and disinfection systems use controlled application of disinfectant products, combined with high pressure and a waste collection system, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards in the transport of sensitive goods.
How can I optimise the management of interior and exterior fleet washing?
Thanks to the widest range of commercial vehicle equipment in Europe, ISTOBAL offers comprehensive solutions to fully automate fleet washing and disinfection, improving operational efficiency, process control, and service profitability in under 20 minutes.
