Project description
Advanced hydraulic technology for off-road vehicles
Mobile hydraulic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are seeking new solutions with a smaller carbon footprint to comply with the stricter EU Stage V emissions mandate in effect since 2019. However, emission reduction systems add weight to the hydraulic vehicle resulting in higher fuel consumption, consequently leading to more emissions. Taking into consideration that the agriculture and construction sectors are on the rise and that they represent 75 % of all mobile off-road equipment sales, an advanced technology that leads to emissions reduction is pivotal. The EU-funded TPV 2500 project proposes the use of axial piston hydraulic technology, which overcomes the limitations of existing axial piston pumps offering higher energy efficiency, more reliability and better automotive control, thus leading to reduced fuel costs.
Objective
Today’s eco-conscious landscape is creating ever-increasing demands on hydraulics to transition to more efficient and quieter solutions with smaller carbon footprint. Mobile hydraulic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need solutions to ensure their mobile equipment comply with the stricter EU stage V emission mandate, effective from 2019. Emission reduction systems may be needed which, however, will increase the overall weight of the hydraulic vehicle, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
We, at Hansa TMP, with global presence in 64 countries and manufacturers of electro-hydraulic components and systems for mobile and industrial machinery, realised axial piston hydraulic technology as vital for green, efficient mobile equipment and a key development relevant for advancing the emerging electric hydraulic mobile equipment industry. The limitations of current axial piston pumps are higher energy consumption, lack of hydraulics-electronics interconnectivity and low life span. In response, we have developed TPV2500, a compact axial hydraulic piston pump which offers 10% higher energy efficiency, better reliability, efficient automotive control, 100 bars higher working pressure and 5% reduction in maintenance time.
The growing agriculture and construction sectors, which account for 75% of all the mobile off-highway market segment sales, are contributing substantially to the axial piston hydraulic pumps market, projected to grow to €1.90Bn in 2025 at a 4.3% CAGR. In Phase 1, we plan to carry out technical and commercial validation and consolidate our commercialisation strategy. These activities will supplement €0.5M worth of work already invested in the project. We expect +€16.4M revenues after 5 years of exploitation of the technology. The European hydraulic vehicles owners will reduce fuel costs, while boosting the EU’s status as leader in hydraulic technology and global competitiveness of its OEMs. EU stands to save €2.2B to 12.0B yearly in fuel imports.
