Electrification of Mobile Machinery: e-Drive Expertise Built on Experience
The electrification of mobile machinery opens up new opportunities for manufacturers. More powerful components, innovative control technologies and falling costs are making electric drive solutions increasingly attractive. With extensive expertise in e-Drive, control systems and hydraulics, Paul Forrer AG supports its customers in developing and implementing customised drive systems.

Electric Drive Solutions for Mobile Machinery
Electrification is becoming increasingly important in the mobile machinery sector. What was technically or economically difficult to achieve just a few years ago is now possible thanks to the rapid development of modern drive components and control systems.
This creates new opportunities for machine manufacturers to equip their applications with electric drive systems. At the same time, questions arise regarding technical feasibility, the selection of suitable components and their optimal integration into existing machine designs.
This is precisely where Paul Forrer AG comes in. As a specialist in hydraulics, drive technology and control systems, we support our customers in developing customised e-Drive solutions.
Experience and Expertise in Electrification
Since June 2026, Daniel Bucher has been strengthening the technical team at Paul Forrer AG as a Systems Engineer specialising in control systems and e-Drive.
A trained electronics technician, he has many years of experience in the mobile machinery sector. Working for machine manufacturers and engineering service providers, he has been involved in control systems, drive systems, functional safety and electrification solutions, among other areas.
Today, he applies this expertise to consulting, project engineering and providing technical support to our customers.
In this video interview, Daniel Bucher shares insights into his work, the opportunities offered by electrification and the e-Drive expertise of Paul Forrer AG.

From Individual Components to Complete e-Drive System Solutions
Not all machine manufacturers have the same requirements or in-house development capabilities. That is why Paul Forrer AG offers both individual components and comprehensive system solutions for electric drives.
Our range of services extends from initial consultation and preliminary sizing to project engineering, commissioning and technical support.
Customers who handle system integration themselves also benefit from our product portfolio and expert assistance in selecting and sizing suitable components.
One of our key strengths lies in combining our areas of expertise. Electric drive technology, control systems and hydraulics can be optimally coordinated, resulting in solutions tailored to the technical requirements and specific operating conditions of each machine.
Electrification Even for Small Production Volumes
Our offering is particularly attractive to manufacturers of specialised mobile machinery and for semi-stationary applications.
Electrification can be technically and economically viable even for small production volumes. The decisive factors are the requirements of the specific application and the selection and coordination of suitable components.
Thanks to our extensive product portfolio, our experience in system integration and a strong network of qualified suppliers, we can support our customers in implementing such projects.
Our e-Drive Solutions in Practice
Our completed customer projects demonstrate just how versatile electric drive solutions can be. Whether fully electric mobile machinery or customised drive systems for specialised applications, we work closely with our customers to develop solutions that are optimally tailored to their specific requirements.
Explore a selection of customer projects and discover how our e-Drive components and technical expertise are put to use in real-world applications.
Exploring the Possibilities of Electrification Together

Electric drive and control technologies continue to advance. New technologies and increasingly powerful components are opening up additional areas of application.
Anyone considering electrifying a machine should therefore assess its technical feasibility as early as possible.
Our specialists support you in evaluating the requirements of your application, identifying potential solutions and estimating the effort involved.
