Electrification
efa offers electronic and electrical solutions for mobile machinery, with particular expertise in supporting the energy transition of industrial and off-road vehicles.
We supply components and sub-assemblies adapted to electric motorisation, facilitating the electrification of construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, cranes, lifting bridges and many other specialised machines.
Our services include the design and integration of customised electrical systems (PDUs, control panels, etc.), the supply of electronic components (connectors, converters, batteries, motors, etc.), as well as retrofit expertise to convert combustion engine vehicles into electric versions. We also offer full technical support, from design to commissioning.
Your project from A to Z by our electrification design office
The efa Business Unit Controls helps customers achieve vehicle hybridisation or electrification. We know how to execute all or part of your project according to your expectations and your constraints in time or skills.
Beyond design assistance, efa will implement the industrialisation of your solution from prototype to the series production of traction chains customised for your machines.
- ZPre-design: Dimensioning and macro option, Series solutions cost approach
- ZPoC - Demo: Quick technical approach, Supply of standard parts, Installation and adjustments, Tests and feedback
- ZPrototype(s): Design according to standards, Choice of components, Electrical installation, Tests and feedback
- ZMass production: Training, Solution industrialisation, Plug&Play supply
Distribution and manufacturing of traction chain solutions
A lot of machinery manufacturers have experience and very strong skills as mechanical and hydraulic design offices. The expansion of electric traction is ultimately much more recent. This is why the supply and selection of components can sometimes turn into a bit of a headache.
The acceleration of electrical development projects has created strong pressure on teams:
- ZSupply Chain, which must know how to follow the evolution of prices and partners while optimising its purchasing conditions
- ZDesign office, which must find the right products and qualify them, even as the number of projects increases
- ZProduction, which often has to learn new trades related to power electronics, whereas initial skills were mechanical and hydraulic.
