Atlas Copco launches Integrated Hybrid Generator range to help cut fuel use, emissions and operating costs
New compact hybrid power range combines diesel engine and battery technology in one rental-ready unit, simplifying logistics, speeding up deployment and reducing environmental impact.
COMPANIES are under increasing pressure to reconcile sustainability requirements with practical operational needs.
On one hand, customers, regulators and project owners are demanding measurable reductions in emissions and fuel consumption. On the other hand, commercial realities dictate that equipment must be easy to deploy, simple to operate, reliable in harsh conditions, and profitable across every rental cycle.
Enter the new QHS Integrated Hybrid Generators from Atlas Copco – designed to enable rental fleets to deliver reliable, lower-emission power without adding operational complexity. Combining diesel engine and battery technology into a single, all-in-one canopy unit, QHS integrated hybrid generators reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while supporting fast installation, autonomous operation and high utilisation.
QHS Integrated Hybrid Generators are engineered to deliver measurable cost reductions for businesses.
By dramatically reducing fuel consumption and cutting generator runtime, these units lower operating expenses and help extend the working life of key components.
Reduced runtime also means fewer service interventions, less wear and tear, and longer service intervals, supporting lower maintenance costs and stronger long-term fleet economics.
QHS Integrated Hybrid Generators are designed with the end user in mind.
Ease of operation is at the heart of these machines. With engine and battery power available at the press of a button, operating the Integrated Hybrid Generators is straightforward and intuitive.
A one-click start/stop interface and fully autonomous operating mode allow QHS generators to adapt to changing load profiles without user intervention, minimising training requirements and operational errors.
Fewer maintenance intervals allow for faster project completion, and issues caused by wet stacking and low loads become a thing of the past.
The Atlas Copco ECOController™ specifically designed for hybrid power systems serves as the heart of the system, providing easy access to smart energy management at users’ fingertips. Seamlessly switching between engine and battery power, the interface ensures optimised performance across all applications.
The controller automatically selects the most efficient power source and delivers power to the load accordingly. Whenever the generator is running, the energy management software prioritises supplying power to the load and then uses any surplus energy to charge the battery, ensuring efficient operations at all times.
