Yanmar introduces carbon neutral electrification strategy at bauma 2022

Published 11/10, 2022 at 11:07

Yanmar, a world leading provider of power solutions and industrial machinery, will introduce its electrification strategy for off road vehicles and equipment at bauma 2022, Germany, the world’s biggest construction equipment exhibition.

Yanmar (stand A4.425) will showcase its off road product portfolio, commitment to customer lifecycle value and future vision for industrial equipment at bauma 2022. Amongst the highlights will be the company’s electrification strategy for e-powertrains, an electric equipment demonstrator, the Yanmar/Eleo modular, high density battery system and the extended five year warranty for TN Series engines.

 

All in-one systems integrator

Yanmar will aim to establish itself as the all in one systems integrator for smart electrified power solutions tailored to the application specific needs of individual OEMs. In its capacity as a systems integrator, Yanmar implements system engineering, design and manufacturing of e-powertrains, while also providing control development, system evaluation, procurement, manufacturing and quality assurance. As Yanmar transitions to an advanced supplier of electrified solutions, the company remains true to its core values of durability, reliability, quality and robustness, together with the commitment to be a reliable and trusted partner for customers - values the company has lived by for more than 110years.

Mr. Tomohisa Tao, president Yanmar Power Technology Co. Ltd stated: “As Yanmar looks to meet the challenges of the coming century, our transformation will encompass new products with alternative fuel technologies. Our aim, together with our dealers and OEM partners, in this strategy is to build stronger relationships and create even greater customer value with new energy technology. We will work hard to support our OEM partners and customers to achieve their environmental and performance goals.”

 

Electric demonstrator

At bauma 2022, Yanmar will show an electrified demonstration vehicle that shows the practical application of the company’s system integrator technologies. Powered by an efficient electric drive and hardworking 48v batteries with fast charging capability, the electric excavator is a quiet, zero emission machine designed to meet the most demanding emissions restrictions. The machine is an example of Yanmar’s system integrator applications technology, integrating power and control systems with advanced applications management in a versatile and easy to use machine.

 

Modular battery systems acquisition

An important milestone for realising the urgent environmental challenges that we must overcome is Yanmar’s acquisition of battery technology company Eleo, a fast growing developer and manufacturer of high performance modular battery systems. This acquisition will further Yanmar’s electrified powertrain capabilities with versatile, customised solutions for off road applications. Eleo is building a new battery production plant, increasing its annual battery production capacity tenfold to 500MWh – equivalent of approximately 10,000 battery packs.

 

Five year warranty benchmark underpins sustainability objectives

The launch of the new 5five year warranty (or 5,000h) further enhances sustainability and extended ownership of the current line-up of clean diesel solutions during the transformation to carbon neutral power solutions. This extended warranty is free of charge and valid for TN Series engines sold in Europe and operating on European territory. Carlo Giudici, director Industrial EMEA at Yanmar Europe, says: “Yanmar sets a new benchmark by being the first to offer a complimentary five year warranty for off road vehicles. It emphasises the strong quality and reliability of our engines and is another important step to offering customers problem free, sustainable ownership and higher resale value.”

From the development of new energy sources for customers and industry, to working towards a sustainable future and zero emissions from its headquarters and facilities, Yanmar is undertaking a range of activities in pursuit of a sustainable society. The company has already embarked on several new energy projects in various business lines, including hydrogen powered cogeneration, research into hydrogen fuel marine engines, bio gas cogeneration, dual fuel power solutions with natural gas, fuel cell marine technology, smart agriculture, and resource recycling technologies.
