Shinewash has successfully completed the installation of one gantry car wash machine and two automatic bus wash machines for a major public transport operator in Mexico. This project provides an efficient, automated fleet washing solution for the customer’s mixed vehicle fleet.
The installation and commissioning have been completed with support from Shinewash’s engineering team. The new equipment helps the customer improve washing efficiency, reduce manual labor, and maintain consistent cleaning quality across its daily fleet operations.
The Mexican customer operates a large public transport fleet and requires reliable equipment for high-frequency vehicle cleaning. Manual washing was time-consuming and required significant labor.
To improve daily operations, the customer selected three Shinewash machines:
1 Gantry Car Wash Machine: Designed for cars, vans, and smaller fleet vehicles.
2 Automatic Bus Wash Machines: Built for city buses, coaches, and other large commercial vehicles.
This combination allows the customer to wash different vehicle types using dedicated automated equipment.
Shinewash engineers provided installation guidance, equipment commissioning, and operator training. The completed project gives the customer a more efficient fleet washing setup.
The gantry car wash machine is designed for commercial car washing and fleet applications. It provides automated cleaning with a compact equipment layout.
Key advantages include:
For fleet rental companies, transportation operators, and parking facilities, a gantry car wash machine offers a practical way to automate routine vehicle cleaning.
| Model | Gantry Machine [6] | Bus Wash Machine [1] |
| Vehicle Capacity | Cars/vans (≤6m L) | Buses/trucks (≤4.5m H) |
| Wash Time | <5 minutes | 3–7 minutes |
| Daily Throughput | 120+ vehicles | 200+ vehicles |
| Water Use | 60–80L/vehicle (recycled) [6] | 80–150L/vehicle (recycled) [4] |
| Power Consumption | ≤0.31 kWh/vehicle [6] | Customized |
Buses are larger and more difficult to clean than passenger cars. Manual washing takes considerable time and labor, especially for operators managing large fleets.
Shinewash automatic bus wash machines are designed to handle frequent commercial vehicle washing.
Their main advantages include:
Depending on the vehicle size and washing configuration, an automatic bus wash machine can complete a washing cycle in approximately 3–7 minutes.
This makes it a valuable investment for public transport companies, bus depots, and intercity coach operators.
One of the biggest advantages of this Mexican project is the combination of gantry and bus wash machines.
Instead of relying on separate suppliers for different vehicle types, the customer can obtain a complete fleet washing solution from Shinewash.
