Open Visibility. Zero Emissions. Pure Performance.
 
The Sunward SWE 20FED (Canopy) is the versatile 2-tonne solution for sites where overhead clearance and 360-degree operator visibility are critical. Built on the chassis of the European bestseller SWE 20F, this open-ROPS model replaces the traditional diesel engine with a high-torque, three-phase asynchronous motor and a premium lithium-ion battery. It provides zero-emission operation without compromising on the power required for utility work, landscaping, and internal demolition.
