Volvo Penta has partnered with Italian industrial gear producer FTMH to design a purpose-built, modular e-driveline able to dealing with the extraordinary responsibility cycles of materials dealing with.
“Our engineering division confronted the problem of designing a brand new electrical machine able to assembly the calls for of the market,” says FTMH technical director, Eugenio Ponzini. “Working intently with Volvo Penta, we undertake their electromobility answer as our new electrical driveline, particularly designed for high-performance forklifts. It will pave the way in which for the electrification of the complete FTMH vary of forklifts and empty container handlers.”
The modular design additionally offers FTMH a seamless path for future evolution as electrification advances. And Volvo Penta’s world service community performed a decisive function.
“We additionally selected Volvo Penta for his or her in depth service community, able to offering assist to our clients, wherever they’re, completely aligning with FTMH’s DNA,” says Ponzini.
In parallel, TecnoGen is utilizing Volvo Penta’s battery techniques to speed up into the Battery Vitality Storage System (BESS) market, highlighting how electrification helps emissions-free operations.

They’re constructed to be heavy-duty, mobile-friendly with excessive power density, and include IP67 sturdiness, liquid cooling, and a shock-resistant design.
“The Volvo Penta BESS subsystem integrates seamlessly with our power platform, providing us ever extra modern options,” says plant supervisor for Tecnogen, Emanuele Rizzi. “That’s why our BESS options are extremely customizable and adaptable to any utility – from charging stations to peak shaving and far extra.”
Of their joint showcase, FTMH’s electrical forklift was charged utilizing TecnoGen’s Volvo Penta-based BESS, offering a stay demonstration of how a battery platform can unite machine energy whereas supporting web site energy.
“At Volvo Penta, we consider electrification is a key know-how towards zero-emission operations,” says Volvo Penta Italy industrial gross sales supervisor, Ilenia Procicchiani. “As a full system provider, we offer every little thing from core elements to design assist, making it simpler for our off-highway OEMs to develop an electrical gear vary and discover new enterprise fashions. In tandem, power storage options like these from TecnoGen might be essential enablers of this transition. What we provide is extra than simply elements. It’s full, integration-ready platforms. Modular and sturdy with 360 design assist, our battery techniques goal to speed up time to marketplace for our companions.”
