Cleaning and sweeping car
The main reason for the time cost wastage and non-continuous operation time of ordinary sweeper trucks due to back-and-forth water and power replenishment is the interruption and efficiency reduction caused by frequent water replenishment. When the water tank capacity of ordinary sweeper trucks is insufficient, they need to stop cleaning operations to go for water replenishment, interrupting the operation process and consuming additional time. Moreover, frequent water replenishment increases the vehicle's stopping time, resulting in non-continuous operation time and reduced efficiency. Therefore, back-and-forth water and power replenishment for ordinary sweeper trucks increase time costs and reduce the continuity and efficiency of cleaning operations (Kinter, n.d.).
Jinkai’s Intelligent Identification Sweeper Trucks effectively address the problem of time cost wastage caused by back-and-forth water and power replenishment through innovative design of a patented sewage filtration and
recycling system. Firstly, the system sets up a sewage filtration and recycling device in the vehicle's suction chamber, achieving internal recycling of sewage, eliminating the need for frequent back-and-forth water replenishment. When Jinkai's Intelligent Identification Sweeper Truck sucks in sewage during the operation process, the sewage goes directly into the sewage filtration system for treatment. Inside the sewage filtration system, the sewage undergoes a series of filtration and disinfection steps, purified into clean water, and reintroduced into the cleaning equipment for use. This design effectively reduces the frequency of back-and-forth water replenishment, saving time costs, and improving the continuity and efficiency of operations. According to statistics, operators waste at least 20 minutes each time they replenish water for ordinary sweeper trucks currently on the market. Therefore, Jinkai's technology can save an hour or more for each work shift. Additionally, the sewage filtration and recycling system can also reduce the operating costs of Jinkai’s Intelligent Identification Sweeper Truck, reduce water consumption, conform to the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, and provide a sustainable solution for urban cleaning operations.
Some small cities face the challenge of high costs associated with street cleaning. Taking Australia as an example, four years ago, a survey conducted by local governments in Queensland revealed that the cost of purchasing and maintaining sweeper trucks had exceeded their affordability. In Australia, purchasing sweeper trucks either involves importing the entire vehicle or importing the sweeper truck system for local installation onto specially modified cabins/chassis. However, transportation costs, import taxes, and additional fees from local agents significantly increase the purchase price. For example, the cost of a sweeper truck with an average capacity of 5 cubic meters is approximately $160,000. Additionally, as contractors, they must also pay an additional 22% sales tax, which local governments can exempt. Therefore, many contractors are forced to purchase used equipment, often buying from government agencies and local governments as they frequently replace equipment to minimize the growing maintenance costs (Webber & Kidwell-Ross, n.d.).

Currently, in the road cleaning industry, managers find it challenging to effectively supervise the efficiency of street cleaning workers and understand the status of each worker during work. Particularly in Australia, some managers indicate that they often rely on handwritten work lists to track and record cleaning time, which also creates some troubles in wage payment. Firstly, handwritten lists are prone to errors and inaccurate recording because employees may forget to record working hours or record inaccurately for various reasons. This may lead to unfair situations, where some employees may be under-recorded for working hours while others may be over-recorded. Secondly, handwritten records require additional manpower and time for processing and management, increasing management costs and workload. Additionally, handwritten records are also prone to loss or damage, leading to the loss or incorrect recording of working hours (Webber & Kidwell-Ross, n.d.).

The positive impact of the circular economy on local economies is manifested in benefiting from production models that encourage the reuse of local waste as raw materials (What Is Circular Economy and Why Is It Important? | Repsol, 2023). The reuse of goods and materials is crucial for a more sustainable circular economy, as it keeps products and materials in circulation, reduces pressure on primary resources, and minimizes waste. This model helps improve resource efficiency, promote economic development, and reduce dependence on raw materials from the environment.
UN Water Chair Laid stated in a statement that wastewater resources have long been underutilized. Globally, over 80% of water from households, cities, industries, and agriculture is directly discharged into the natural environment without being reused. This not only leads to environmental pollution but also wastes enormous resource potential. Wastewater should not be viewed as a resource that can be ignored or discarded but rather as a valuable resource that can benefit both humans and ecosystems (United Nations, 2017).
Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck is equipped with a wastewater reuse system, effectively filtering and treating wastewater, thereby addressing the issue of water waste in water truck operations. After specialized water filtration and recycling system processing, wastewater can be converted into reusable clean water, which is then used again for water truck operations, achieving the recycling and reuse of water resources. According to test data, the daily water consumption of one Jinkai intelligent identification water truck is approximately 57.6 m³, with a wastewater regeneration ratio of 65%, meaning approximately 37.44 m³ of wastewater is converted into clean water. Assuming there are approximately 500,000 water trucks globally, and each truck is equipped with a wastewater filtration and recycling system, the world can recycle 18.72 million tons of wastewater and sewage every day. This recycled wastewater can continue to be used as raw material for water trucks, ensuring the circulation of materials, reducing pressure on water resources, and improving material utilization efficiency. Thus, if Jinkai's intelligent identification system is installed on water trucks globally, the areas where it is applied will become more economical and efficient.
Therefore, the introduction of Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck, which converts wastewater into reusable clean water, opens up new avenues for recycling and reuse of resources. Its wastewater reuse system not only contributes to environmental protection but also injects new vitality into local economic development. Guided by the concept of the circular economy, the widespread application of Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck will continue to drive the digitalization of the circular economy, promoting sustainable socio-economic development.
The circular economy helps promote resource independence by reducing dependence on external raw materials through the reuse of local resources. Overreliance on external raw materials can lead to trade deficits, price fluctuations, and supply-related risks such as reduced disposable incomes (What Is Circular Economy and Why Is It Important? | Repsol, 2023).
Irrigation remains the largest water-consuming sector globally. However, because many countries' farmers do not fully bear the full cost of their water use, this trend exacerbates water scarcity. Globally, agriculture accounts for 70% of water use, and in many OECD member countries, this proportion exceeds 40%. Over-extraction of groundwater for irrigation can lead to aquifer depletion and may also result in negative environmental externalities, causing severe economic impacts on this industry and others. Severe droughts in Chile and the United States have already affected agricultural production and reduced surface water and groundwater reserves (OECD, 2016). According to reports, in 2022, the United States imported approximately 411 million liters of water from Fiji, with Italy being its second-largest trading partner, importing 330 million liters of water (Ridder, 2023).
Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck, relying on its wastewater reuse system, can effectively treat wastewater on the road surface. First, wastewater and sewage are processed through specially designed filtration devices to remove impurities and pollutants. Subsequently, after disinfection treatment, this wastewater is converted into clean water resources that can be used for irrigation. In this way, Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck not only solves the problem of road surface wastewater but also achieves the efficient reuse of water resources. These clean water resources can be used for agricultural irrigation, providing sufficient water sources for crop growth and injecting sustainability and environmental friendliness into agricultural production.
Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck introduces intelligent visual identification technology and intelligent greening irrigation control systems, realizing smarter and more water-efficient greening irrigation operations. Through advanced visual identification and big data analysis, the water truck can accurately identify the types and distribution of vegetation. Combined with humidity sensors, the water truck can intelligently determine the scope and amount of water and adjust based on real-time weather conditions and the needs of vegetation to ensure moderation and efficiency of irrigation. Additionally, the intelligent control system can intelligently adjust water pressure based on comprehensive information, thereby achieving precise utilization of water resources. Through the application of these technologies, Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck not only makes greening irrigation operations more intelligent but also effectively saves water resources, making positive contributions to the development of urban greening and environmental protection.
Therefore, the widespread application of Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck not only makes urban greening irrigation more intelligent and efficient, but also contributes significantly to the development of the circular economy and the realization of resource independence. Through the application of waste water and sewage reuse systems, as well as intelligent control technology, the water truck achieves full utilization and conservation of water resources, converting waste water into renewable clean water, thereby providing sustainable water sources for agricultural irrigation and urban greening. Additionally, the intelligent operational mode reduces reliance on external raw materials, promotes the recycling of resources, and contributes to resource independence and environmental protection. The introduction of Jinkai's intelligent identification water truck not only enhances urban greening levels and management efficiency but also provides strong support for the establishment of a sustainable development model for the circular economy.
