Technology and Innovation that Make a Difference

One example of the changes affecting our customers is the EU Green Deal, a strategy aimed at making Europe climate-neutral by 2050, with a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Specific targets have also been set for the transport sector, where emissions must be reduced by at least 70% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels – requiring widespread electrification. 

As customer requirements evolve, more and more companies need to adapt, and here lies a large—and often untapped—opportunity. Choosing the right technology can make a significant difference, both from a sustainability and a business perspective. 

One approach is to measure and record data to examine an application’s duty cycle. Doing so provides valuable insight into when and how energy is consumed, enabling the operation to be refined via the control system. By accepting slightly higher losses at certain stages to achieve better responsiveness, while reducing overall losses in the longer term, the system can be fine-tuned to balance both energy efficiency and performance. 

The most significant transformation in mobile applications comes from shifting from combustion engines to electric drive systems. Depending on the machine’s specific conditions, different types of hybrid solutions can serve as a step towards full electrification. At HydX, together with our sister company, ETP, we have great expertise in designing and tailoring these systems to meet each customer’s specific  demands. 

 When an application is electrified, it is essential to review the hydraulic system – not only to avoid unnecessary energy losses, but also to reduce noise, especially as traditional engine sounds disappear. 

We are there as an advisor and a partner for all these options, analysing each system to determine what is optimal for the particular application and duty cycle.

We know that every company – and its customers – face different challenges. That’s why we don’t offer ready-made packages; we provide tailor-made solutions built on expertise, experience and a deep understanding of the complete system. 

At HydX, we have leading competence in hydraulics, electrification, control systems, electronics, radio control, remote access and IoT. Our deep expertise across this broad mix of technologies enables us to deliver unique solutions – and we make the greatest impact when we work in close partnership with our customers and manufacturers towards a more sustainable future.
