Yanmar, ELEO pursue electrification strategy for off-highway sector

Yanmar announced its strategy for electrification of future off-road powertrain offerings at the Bauma 2022 conference in late October. During a presentation, Yanmar declared its intention to establish itself as an all-in-one provider for electrified powertrains tailored to the application-specific needs of individual OEMs.

“Our goal is for our customers to be able to outsource all electrification work to Yanmar,” said Carlo Giudici, director industrial powertrain for Yanmar Europe. “Yanmar will take care of all system integration. The OEM just needs to sketch the main features of their machines. A Yanmar engine is a fully integrated component, [and] our e-powertrain will retain the same trademark as our diesel engines.”
