As emission regulations tighten, the long duty cycles of non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) come under increased scrutiny. According to independent studies, NRMM produces a disproportionately high amount of emissions for the energy they consume—driving a push towards electrified solutions.
In the recent ZAPI GROUP webinar, “Mid-Power Charging Solution Options for Non-Road Mobile Machinery”, electrification experts Mourad Chergui and Marco Sabatini outlined a clear roadmap for OEMs to transition to more efficient and sustainable operations.
At the core of this transition are advanced charging solutions—key drivers of the electric evolution that improve machine safety, reliability, and cost efficiency.
With the industry’s broadest range of battery chargers and unmatched expertise in implementation, ZAPI GROUP empowers OEMs to lead the charge in electrification, positioning them at the competitive forefront of their respective fields.
ZAPI GROUP’s comprehensive charging solutions, developed under the Delta-Q Technologies and ZIVAN product brands, range from 350 W to 36 kW of power, expanding electrification options across diverse vehicle architectures.
These offerings fall under two categories:
While not offering stationary chargers as a standalone product, ZAPI GROUP’s deep expertise in this field lends itself to an advisory role in design and implementation. These services prove especially beneficial for applications such as material handling, where electrification necessitates dedicated charging rooms optimized to machine duty cycles.
The core of ZAPI GROUP’s offerings lies in system-wide integration and optimization. Comprehensive charging technology serves as the foundation, delivering significant advantages to industrial OEMs. Consider four benefits in particular.
Industrial machinery must constantly balance weight and space constraints, compounded by the demanding environments and compact nature of NRMM applications.
To address this, ZAPI GROUP chargers, whether on-board or off-board, are designed with a compact footprint and ruggedized protection against the dangers of industrial worksites. This unique product portfolio delivers advantages such as:
These features ensure reliable performance under the tough conditions typical of NRMM applications, enabling long operational cycles amidst even the most challenging environments.
Tier 1 OEMs require charging equipment that meets both operational demands and stringent cross-region regulations.
That is why ZAPI GROUP chargers comply with international standards “out of the box”, eliminating the need for extensive modifications. With a rich history in global electrification, ZAPI GROUP ensures adherence to safety, quality, and regulatory requirements in:
Compliance with the UN’s UNECE R10 and R100 standards further guarantees safety and regulatory alignment, accelerating OEM time-to-market across diverse deployment regions.
For OEMs and fleet managers, the absence of operational insights hinders efficiency, scalability, and data-driven system improvements. Without data, it’s impossible to know how to improve and iterate future designs.
Perhaps surprisingly, addressing these challenges starts with the charger. Solutions capable of logging charging cycles, duty cycles, and other key parameters allow for optimization tweaks to boost productivity and minimize machine downtime.
For example, ZAPI GROUP’s charging solutions can:
Incorporating these capabilities empowers OEM customers with the data necessary to adopt a proactive (rather than reactive) approach to product development and maintenance.
OEM designs span a range of battery chemistries, specialized solutions, and uncommon applications. While it is a common assumption that chargers act as all-purpose “plug-and-play” components, genuine optimization comes from matching charging systems to the specific needs and architecture of the OEM application.
This is ZAPI GROUP’s specialty.
In collaboration with leading battery manufacturers and global component suppliers, ZAPI GROUP leverages decades of industrial electrification expertise to develop charging systems perfectly suited to stringent OEM requirements, with proven application in sectors such as:
OEMs face many challenges when electrifying, but they need not navigate these complexities alone. With a 50-year legacy in electrification and a global network of trusted partners, ZAPI GROUP provides a clear and proven path for OEMs to follow.
ZAPI GROUP’s greatest strength lies in a philosophy of open collaboration—with battery manufacturers, component suppliers, and OEM customers—to craft charging solutions tailored to specific industries and applications.
This approach guides OEMs to the most profound benefit: electrified machinery that not only meets, but exceeds industry standards.
