DEUTZ is strengthening its new tech presence: Urban Mobility Systems and Futavis are being renamed DEUTZ NewTech. As part of its forward-thinking strategy, DEUTZ is advancing its transformation towards sustainable and future-proof drive solutions. A key element of this transformation is the creation of a unified, clearly recognisable NewTech presence. As part of this, two companies belonging to DEUTZ are being renamed.
The electrification specialist previously known as Urban Mobility Systems will now operate under the name DEUTZ NewTech Netherlands. The Dutch company has already electrified more than 300 machines successfully, including excavators, wheel loaedders, and cranes, and has built a strong position as an innovation and technology leader for battery-electric drives for off-highway applications.
Futavis, based in Aachen, will become DEUTZ NewTech. As one of Germany’s leading providers and development experts for battery management systems and battery technology, the company focuses on the development of modular scalable battery systems. The core element of its customer-specific batteries is the company’s proprietary Battery Management System (BMS).
“With the new company names, we are making visible what has already become reality in our daily business: we work as a one NewTech team across locations on shared products and solutions,” says Bert van Hasselt, CEO of the Business Unit NewTech. “The former individual company brands will become less prominent, while our technology and system expertise under the name ‘DEUTZ NewTech’ move even more into the spotlight.”
“In future, our customers will see even more clearly that all NewTech activities are part of DEUTZ – with a shared understanding of quality, a common technology roadmap, and a consistent service philosophy,” van Hasselt added.
