Executive Summary
Challenge in one sentence
Identifying new, scalable applications for Wacker Neusons robust, swappable BatteryOne system — within or beyond today’s construction use cases — by developing functional prototypes that prove both technical feasibility and commercial potential. BatteryOne is Wacker Neuson's brand for its modular, swappable battery system. The system consists of robust 48V DC battery packs that can be flexibly exchanged between different devices.
For innovators, this creates an opportunity to co-develop new battery-powered products with a global industrial partner and access real hardware, engineering know-how and commercialization pathways.
Why This Matters
BatteryOne already powers multiple construction devices, but its broader potential across industries remains untapped. There is significant potential for a broad variety of new applications that currently lack access to state-of-the-art swappable battery solutions—opening additional markets, expanding BatteryOne volumes, and accelerating zero-emission electrification.
Solution Space
The objective is to explore solutions that integrate BatteryOne into any kind of device, tool or system where a robust, swappable 48V DC battery provides a functional or commercial advantage.
The challenge is fully industry-open. If your solution benefits from portable power, it is in scope.
