Fuel Cell Technologies to Power Small Work Machinery with Husqvarna Group

Opportunity overview

Husqvarna offers a wide range of power tools and small work machines for the construction fields. Those machines are usually gas-powered, using diesel or petrol combustion engines for lager products (> 3kW) but for handheld products many are battery-powered, using lithium-ion battery cells. As Husqvarna Group has set a science-based target to reduce the CO2 emissions generated by their tools during use, batteries are the preferred option whenever possible. However, the energy density (gravimetric and volumetric) is not high enough for some applications as for now.

To achieve these ambitious goals, we are looking for a partner to join them in replacing fossil fuels in power tools utilizing hydrogen technology and fuel cell solutions. The ideal solution should fit Husqvarna Group tools and comply with the task and even harsh environment where the tools are needed, such as off-grid remote location in the forest or construction field. The power requirement for fuel cells is between 1 kW and 50 kW power, and you can learn more about the products and their specifications on husqvarna.com.

The more market-ready solution, the better; however, Husqvarna group is open for co-development, providing industry and R&D expertise, as well as manufacturing and distribution capabilities across the globe.
