Energy transition
Convert suitable diesel equipment to electric power.
KOB Systems assesses the equipment, operating duty and available power before designing a safe, practical conversion around the required performance.
What the conversion involves
Replace the diesel drive with an engineered electric system.
For suitable equipment, the diesel engine and associated fuel components are replaced by an electric motor, controller and correctly sized power source.
The final design depends on load, torque, operating time, mechanical condition, charging access and the environment in which the equipment works.
The basic process
From feasibility check to handover.
Every project begins with an assessment because not all equipment is technically or commercially suitable for conversion.
- 01Assess
Inspect the equipment, load, duty cycle and operating environment.
- 02Engineer
Size the motor, controller, battery or power supply and protection.
- 03Convert
Remove diesel components and integrate the electric drive system.
- 04Test
Validate safety, controls, temperature and performance under load.
- 05Handover
Provide operating guidance, documentation and maintenance requirements.
Key considerations
Feasibility comes before conversion.
The assessment confirms whether the proposed system can meet the equipment’s real operating requirements.
Mechanical suitability
Condition, mounting space, drivetrain and required torque must support conversion.
Energy requirement
Run time, load profile, battery capacity and charging access shape the design.
Safety & protection
Isolation, electrical protection, controls and thermal management must be engineered correctly.
Operating case
Usage pattern, maintenance needs, downtime and expected life determine practical value.
