PistenBully 600 E+: Efficiency and driving comfort
With its unique concept of a powerful diesel-electric drive, PistenBully 600 E+ combines efficiency with sustainability, user-friendliness with outstanding performance and the lowest emissions with even less engine noise.
This makes the snow groomer from KÄSSBOHRER an indispensable tool for ski resorts of the future. This has been recognized in Sölden, Austria.
The best of two systems: the diesel-electric drive
The electric drive is not only extremely efficient but also guarantees consistently high torque. The power is instantaneous and can be called up at any time, even at low engine speeds. The torque on the mountain (pushing ability) is therefore impressively noticeable.
This diesel-electric version with the clean Cummins engine including diesel particulate filter also guarantees a further 20 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. With its customary maneuverability and outstanding traction, it is predestined for a wide range of snow conditions and tasks.
Versatile in use, the PistenBully 600 E+ also ensures even and perfect slope preparation on steep slopes as well as on flat sections.

You can rely on the perfectly tuned braking system of the PistenBully 600 E+.

Positive balance for the environment
This has also been recognized in Sölden, where a PistenBully 600 E+ was added to the fleet years ago.
“This vehicle perfectly complements our fleet of 600 and 800 models – because it‘s the mix that makes the difference! We now had the opportunity to accompany a new demo vehicle throughout the winter,“ reports Emanuel Gufler, Head of Workshop and Fleet at Bergbahnen Sölden.
Numerous adjustments and optimizations were tested here – among other things, to ensure the usual durability of PistenBully in this model too.
“Thanks to the hybrid drive, the PistenBully 600 E+ feels really good to drive. It is quieter, uses less hydraulic oil and is simply more environmentally friendly. The reduced fuel consumption – and with HVO to boot – and the resulting minimised emissions not only mean savings, but also a very positive balance for the environment.“

Emanuel Gufler, Head of Workshop and Vehicle Fleet Sölden:
“We rely on a well-mixed fleet – including a green PistenBully 600 E+.“
Environmentally friendly solution
The PistenBully 600 E+ also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of comfort and operation. The driver benefits from the innovative operating concept and an extremely quiet cab, which makes even hours of work pleasant and focused.


Whether it’s a ski bridge or rocks, the PistenBully 600 E+ cuts a fine figure everywhere.
Powerful and robust
“When I found out that I had to test the PistenBully 600 E+, I was sceptical at first,“ says Anton Plörer, a long-time driver in Sölden. I‘ve been driving PistenBully for 22 years and my heart has always beaten red. With the PistenBully 600 E+, I immediately started pushing out snow depots and just thought ‘Amazing how it pushes!’ The enormous torque of the electric motors – you notice how impressive it is when pushing!“

Anton Plörer, PistenBully-Driver in Sölden:
“I‘ve favoured red all my life – but from now on I‘ll be going for green!“
