The product portfolio spans diesel and electric platforms, including the LADOG E1250 and E1400 compact electric utility vehicles, the Schmidt eSwingo 200+ and eCleango 550 electric sweepers, and the Schmidt AS 990 airport sweeper.

The group holds ISO 9001, EUnited PM10/PM2.5 4-star dust suppression, AGR ergonomics, and PSO Trede 3 certifications that function as procurement prerequisites in many tenders.
The business model combines hardware sales (vehicles and spare parts), professional services (maintenance, training), and financing partnerships (PEAC Solutions), distributed through national subsidiaries in 25+ countries plus authorized dealer channels. Customer segments span municipalities, government and defense (including the 18-vehicle, 18-year Netherlands Ministry of Defense contract), airports (London Gatwick, Helsinki/Finavia, Ilulissat in Greenland), and agricultural cooperatives. The group declared a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share in Q2 2026, consistent with a mature, cash-generative public industrial.
