The Etesia ET Lander: The Future of Amenity Transport

/in /by

In the rapidly evolving landscape of amenity management, the shift toward sustainable, low-impact machinery is no longer just a trend, it’s a requirement.

Standing at the forefront of this transition is the Etesia ET Lander, a 100% electric utility vehicle designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty performance and environmental responsibility.

Built for the Professional
The ET Lander is engineered specifically for the rigors of municipal and landscape maintenance teams. Despite its compact footprint measuring just 3.72 meters in length, it boasts a staggering one-metric-ton payload and a 750kg towing capacity.

This power-to-size ratio makes it an ideal workhorse for transporting aggregates, waste, or heavy grounds equipment through narrow park pathways and congested urban environments.

Versatility is baked into its DNA. The vehicle features a three-way tipper bed, which can be operated via a central control panel in the cab or through a remote control for safer unloading.

Furthermore, integrated loading ramps allow for the easy transport of ride-on mowers and pedestrian machinery, effectively making the ET Lander a mobile hub for entire maintenance teams.

Efficiency Without Compromise
Silence is one of the ET Lander’s greatest assets. For contractors working in “noise-sensitive” areas such as hospitals, schools, or residential squares, the near-silent electric drivetrain allows for early-morning or late-evening operations without disturbance.

The 2026 models offer a choice between traditional lead-acid or high-performance Lithium-ion batteries, with the latter providing a range of up to 100km on a single charge. With a charging time of approximately 7 hours, the vehicle is ready for a full day’s shift every morning.

The Professional View
For many, the real proof of the ET Lander’s value lies in its daily operation. We spoke with Gary Spreadbury, the Head Gardener at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park about their switch to electric:
“The ET Lander has completely changed our workflow. We were worried about losing the ‘grunt’ of a diesel UTV, but the instant torque from the electric motor handles our steepest slopes even when the bed is fully loaded. What’s really impressed the crew, however, is the maneuverability. We can navigate the tightest trails where our old trucks simply couldn’t go. It’s quiet, it’s clean, and honestly, the staff fight over who gets to drive it.”

With its robust chassis, 4.4-meter turning radius, and zero-emission profile, the Etesia ET Lander is proving that the future of amenity maintenance isn’t just green, it’s significantly more efficient.

Etesia Attila AK98X: Setting the Standard for Extreme Brushcutting

/in /by

In the demanding world of landscape maintenance, professionals are constantly seeking machinery that combines raw power with uncompromised safety. As we move into the 2026 season, the Etesia Attila AK98X remains a dominant force in the ride-on brushcutter market, proving that some legends only get better with time. Designed specifically for the toughest terrains, this 4-wheel-drive workhorse is engineered to tackle everything from overgrown verges to steep, waterlogged embankments.

Built for the Extreme

The heart of the AK98X is its formidable Kawasaki FS691V 24HP engine. This twin-cylinder powerhouse provides the high torque necessary to clear dense vegetation, including saplings and thick scrub up to 4.5cm in diameter. With a 98cm cutting width and a theoretical output of up to 9,800 m²/h, the machine is built for high-performance site clearance where standard mowers would simply stall.

One of the standout features of the Attila AK98X is its adaptability. Operators can choose between swing or fixed-tip blades, allowing the machine to be configured for specific tasks, whether it’s fine-tuning a rough grass area or mulching through heavy woody material. The cutting height is easily adjusted via a centralised lever, offering eight positions ranging from 50mm to 120mm.

Stability and Safety

Working on slopes is one of the most hazardous tasks in amenity care. Etesia addresses this with a low centre of gravity and permanent 4-wheel drive. The AK98X is rated for stability on slopes up to 30% (approximately 17°), supported by heavy-tread tyres and a differential lock that ensures traction even in slippery or boggy conditions.

The machine is built on a strengthened, welded tubular chassis, providing a robust frame that withstands the rigors of professional use while offering a comfortable, ergonomic driving position. Safety is further enhanced by a built-in slope indicator, operator presence switches, and front/side mud-flap protection.

Alistair Handyside, owner at Higher Wiscombe, a 52-acre farm and luxury holiday cottage destination in Devon, relies on the AK98X to maintain the site’s prestigious reputation while managing challenging coastal terrain.

“We have a significant amount of steep land and varied vegetation that needs constant attention to keep the estate looking its best for our guests. The Attila AK98X has been a revelation for us. Its ability to climb slopes that were previously only accessible by hand-held tools has saved us an incredible amount of time. It doesn’t just cut; it mulches the material so finely that we don’t have to worry about clearing up afterwards. It’s a robust, reliable piece of kit that has fundamentally changed how we manage our outdoor spaces.”

As amenity managers face the perennial challenge of managing lush growth during unpredictable seasons, the Etesia Attila AK98X offers a reliable, “mulch-first” solution that reduces the need for collection and speeds up site turnaround times. For professionals managing banks, orchards, or woodland paths, it remains the reference point for extreme brushcutting.
