Yanmar presents its new vision at Bauma 2025. (Hall A-4,425)
- Company to offer tailored packages of power trains for diverse customer challenges.
- New hydrogen engine concepts to be unveiled.
- Yanmar’s TN-series engines, are now compatible with multifuel, HVO, renewable diesel and Gas.
- e-powertrain presented – one-stop electrification solution, fits all strategies of the OEMs with a wide range of battery solutions and components, including advanced telematics
Munich, Germany, April 7-13, 2025 – Yanmar is set to unveil a range of cutting-edge engine technologies at Bauma 2025, including innovative hydrogen concepts and the company’s latest e-powertrain package. Reinforcing its commitment to global leadership in green solutions for land, sea, and city use, Yanmar will present its vision under the slogan: “Energy Diversity, Your Solution Partner.”
For Yanmar – a global provider of power-train solutions and industrial machinery – developing zero-carbon technologies to match the diverse needs of its global customers is at the heart of its business philosophy. The markets served by Yanmar have different needs especially as the availability of various future power sources emerges as part of the global drive towards a zero-carbon society.
Mr Tomohisa Tao, president, Yanmar Power Technology Co. Ltd said:
Our slogan, ENERGY DIVERSITY, YOUR SOLUTION PARTNER, underlines how Yanmar can help OEMs by providing innovative, tailored solutions for the ever-changing challenges in the off-road industry. “Thanks to the compatibility with HVO, we can now offer multi-fuel combustion technology in addition to our well-established products and solutions for engines using other existing fuel types. Furthermore, we will showcase innovative solutions for the electrification field. At Bauma 2025 Yanmar will demonstrate our ability to offer the best solutions for all customers.
Key developments in hydrogen range – concepts’ global debut at Bauma
Yanmar is growing its multi-fuel combustion technology with the development of an off-road hydrogen engine and two initial concepts will be unveiled for the first time at Bauma 2025, stand A4. 425.
Currently, electric solutions are the norm for zero-emission powertrains for off-road equipment. However, due to basic challenges such as energy density and limited charging infrastructure, Yanmar believes that a variety of zero-carbon technologies offer a greater chance of achieving carbon reductions in the future.
Hydrogen engines can share the same engine footprint as diesel, the 4TN101 Hydrogen specification, which is based on the latest diesel engine 4TN101 (displacement: 3.8 litres) has been converted to a hydrogen specification, demonstrating that it is possible to hydrogenise fuel while maintaining a high level of engine design commonality.
Yanmar already has a strong track record in hydrogen solutions, including the marine market hydrogen fuel cell commercialization in 2023-Aug, and is well on its way to developing the technology to operate hydrogen combustion engines safely and reliably in the off-road sector.
Yanmar presents e-powertrain at Bauma
Yanmar will also introduce its e-powertrain package, software and R&D services,
Yanmar is an all-in-system integrator of e-powertrain solutions tailored to the various, specific needs of its OEM customers, carrying out planning, systems engineering, design validation, as well as systems evaluation, procurement, manufacturing, quality assurance and after-sales.
At Bauma there will also be an actual e-powertrain integrated into a mock-up wheel loader, showcasing Yanmar’s comprehensive solution that supports all our customers’ electrification strategies.
The key elements of e-powertrain:
- At the start of our customers’ electrification concept Yanmar proposes the most suitable specifications.
- Yanmar customises a platform that satisfies the needs of its customers’ electrification project with the optimal use and combination of components.
- The development of e-power software that integrates all the required functions and features for a vehicle.
- The opportunity for customers to reduce development lead time and cost by using Yanmar’s proprietary platform.
- Telematics services of e-powertrain offer real-time diagnostics, troubleshooting, predictable maintenance, over-the-air updates, smart charging and many more
