Hydrogen

In the near future, new products will be launched that are powered by hydrogen and fuel cells as energy converters.

The first hydrogen-powered Liebherr R9XX H2 crawler excavator was already presented at Bauma 2022 and won the Innovation Award.

The advantages of using this type of drive:

Independence from a permanent energy supply

Significantly reduced pollutant emissions
Great future potential
Particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications
Same overall performance as a diesel-powered version
Fast refuelling

Alternative fuels

HVO and e-fuels are synthetically produced renewable diesel fuels that comply with the EN 15940 standard, among others.

Compatibility with Liebherr machines is already a given, which also contributes to future independence from fossil fuels.

The advantages of using this type of drive:

CO2 reduction
lower AdBlue consumption
reduced soot formation
increased ageing and cold stability
no engine oil dilution
