Hydraulic hybrid working machines

Tampere University

The project studies energy efficiency of different hydraulic hybrid solutions. The objective is significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. The project is one of the Challenge Finland projects funded by Business Finland.

Impact

The results of the project show that the fuel consumption of working machines can be reduced up to 30 percent by  a simple and low-cost hydraulic hybrid solution. In practice, this means up to 10 000 litres savings per year in the medium sized working machine.
