Briggs & Stratton presents award-winning electrified power application to leading industry OEMs at NRMM
Briggs & Stratton will introduce its award-winning Vanguard battery solution, developed in collaboration with ARGO for its J8 autonomous extreme terrain robot, to major off-highway machinery OEMs and other industry participants at NRMM 2021.
The 3rd annual hybridization and electrification NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery) Forum will be held online this year on 15 and 16 February. More than 100 delegates will share their electrification developments and strategies with industry peers. Ladislav Poledna, Sales Executive, will present Briggs & Stratton’s electrification expertise and the ARGO case study on Monday 15 February. Poledna is responsible for leading the introduction of Vanguard commercial lithium-ion batteries in the European region.
The ARGO battery solution provides scalable power from 5-20 kWh – which is crucial in the limited space on the ARGO J8 extreme terrain self-driving unit. Dust-, dirt- and water-resistant, the durable battery pack can withstand vibrations and impact from the most rugged environments. Rather than being recycled and replaced (standard in the industry today), the durable battery can be serviced and repaired under a singular part number. Integrated diagnostic tools support global maintenance needs.
Award-winning Vanguard battery pack
The unique battery solution includes Vanguard’s 48-volt lithium-ion battery pack, battery management system and battery charger. “"These components work seamlessly together to create a fully integrated complete battery solution,” says Paul Bramhall, Director Marketing EMEA - Engines & Power. “It delivers superior power, performance and flexibility.”
The collaboration between Briggs & Stratton and ARGO received The Electrification Newsmaker of the Year Award for “a very innovative development of an electric unmanned ground vehicle using one of the first serviceable, scalable batteries in the industry.” And Vanguard’s commercial lithium-ion battery pack was named as the Rental 2020 Editor’s Choice Award winner, by the nationally recognized magazine serving rental equipment professionals.
