It's no easy feat clearing away all the debris and rubble, making the road safe to drive on again.Even a little bolt or rock left on a road can puncture a tyre, or fly up into a windshield, resulting in more incidents and further delays. This is why road sweepers can be so slow. They need to be thorough.However, it looks like China, as usual, has developed an amazing road sweeper that can do the job in record time, seen flying down a road. The street in question is covered with all the typical detritus left after an accident or big storm. Rocks, logs, glass, and metal are strewn across the path of the oncoming road sweeper.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis is no problem for the newly developed Chinese cleaning vehicle. At an unbelievable speed, the small truck approaches, seemingly far too fast to be effective. And yet, as it flies over the mounds of debris, there is nothing left but a clean road on the other side. Game ChangerChina manufactures sweepers for cleanliness, not war.They operate at high speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, with high efficiency in removing bricks, stones, dust, and various types of debris from roads, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of traffic routes. pic.twitter.com/7j0BMKTInL— China pulse 🇨🇳 (@Eng_china5) June 11, 2026Many countries already have street cleaning machines, ranging from large highway-focused ones to smaller lawnmower-sized push-along types. But one thing they all have in common is that they're painfully slow and often not that effective. After big incidents, they do the job, but at their own speed, and typically with the assistance of a human out back to pick up the bits they've missed.This video shows a road sweeper transforming a road from an undrivable mess to spotlessly clean with not even a single bolt or screw left, at speeds that would be illegal in most residential zones. This could revolutionise highway cleanups, resulting in much shorter delays after accidents.We Want OneThe uses for these high-speed Chinese road sweepers are vast. Not only would they help after motorway fender benders, to keep commuters moving on busy days, but they could also be used in sporting events.AdvertisementAdvertisementNothing kills the momentum and excitement of motorsport more than waiting for the brutally slow road sweepers to trundle up the track and slowly polish the tarmac. With these new sweepers, they could be lapping behind the racers, cleaning as they go. I wouldn't be surprised to see one keeping pace with NASCAR next year.
