Rasco Confirms Global Competitiveness with Delivery of Sweeper to Australia

The Croatian company Rasco, one of the leading European manufacturers of vehicles and equipment for maintaining traffic infrastructure, has marked 35 years of operation this year. Founded in 1990 in the Podravina region of Kalinovac, Rasco has grown into a globally recognized innovator, whose products maintain roadways in over 40 countries across five continents – from Scandinavia to Australia, Canada, the USA, and China.

The company has now achieved a new international success by delivering the compact sweeper LYNX 2000 to the Australian market. This export breakthrough represents an important step forward in conquering global markets from Kalinovac, as well as a strong confirmation of the global competitiveness of the Croatian industry in the segment of highly sophisticated municipal vehicles.

– Entering the Australian market is a confirmation that Croatian products can meet even the most demanding global standards. LYNX 2000 is the result of years of investment in development, knowledge, and quality. This delivery represents an important symbol of what domestic knowledge, perseverance, and innovation can offer to the global market – stated Ivan Franičević, CEO of RASCO.

From Kalinovac to Global Markets

LYNX 2000 is characterized by compact dimensions, exceptional maneuverability, and top cleaning efficiency. The ergonomically designed cabin provides a comfortable working environment for operators, and the ability to operate in various climatic conditions makes it an ideal solution for urban environments around the world. Rasco has been exporting its products to over 40 countries for years, and expanding its distribution network to Australia opens additional growth opportunities. The Australian market pays attention to technical and environmental standards, further confirming competitiveness.

This export breakthrough further solidifies RASCO’s position as one of the most technologically advanced manufacturers of municipal equipment in Europe, as well as an ambassador of Croatian production and innovation on a global scale.

Among other significant successes, the transition from producing winter maintenance equipment to developing its own municipal vehicles stands out – the launch of the first multifunctional vehicle MUVO, followed by the electric sweeper LYNX Charge and the recent introduction of LYNX H2 5000 – the first Croatian hydrogen sweeper and one of the first of its kind in the world.

Thanks to years of close collaboration with many academic institutions, Rasco’s research and development department is ready to lead exceptionally complex projects. The company’s production program includes cleaning vehicles and multifunctional vehicles, solutions for winter road maintenance, including snow removal and de-icing equipment, vegetation maintenance equipment, vehicle upgrades, and monitoring and management systems.
