30-Second Takeaway
Liebherr has launched Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH, a new company focused on digitalised energy storage technologies and energy management software for construction sites. The initiative supports the transition from fossil-fuelled equipment to battery-electric machines, offering integrated hardware, software and future energy services designed to reduce CO₂ emissions, optimise energy planning and enable fully electrified construction operations.
Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH
With the foundation of Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH, Liebherr is expanding its portfolio in digitalisation and sustainable energy management. The new company consolidates Liebherr’s expertise in energy storage technologies and in-house developed energy planning and management software, positioning the Group as a comprehensive solution provider for electrified construction sites.
In the long term, Liebherr also plans to offer dedicated energy services to further support customers in managing increasingly complex site energy requirements.
The innovative portfolio is designed to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions on construction sites, while actively promoting the electrification of construction and commercial vehicles.
Digital Transformation of Construction Energy Infrastructure
Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH emerges from the Liebherr components product segment and focuses on battery-based storage systems and intelligent software platforms.
As construction sites shift from diesel-powered to battery-electric machines, data-supported planning and IoT monitoring are becoming critical to ensuring feasibility and efficiency.
Daniel Bachmann, Managing Director of Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH, explains:
“The rapidly growing energy demand on construction sites and the associated transformation of the construction industry take the topic of electrification to a new level. This brings new complexity to the areas of planning, management and infrastructure. This is exactly where we come in, supporting construction site operators, planners and equipment suppliers in this transformation – efficiently, sustainably and with an eye to the future.”
Liduro Power Port (LPO) Battery Storage System
A key component of the portfolio is the Liduro Power Port (LPO) — a mobile, battery-based energy storage system.
The LPO provides:
Stable, locally emission-free power supply
High power density in a compact design
Flexible supply for varying construction site power demands
Support for heavy electric construction machinery
The system enables reliable energy delivery across construction phases, supporting both grid-connected and off-grid operations.
Energy Planner Software and Active Monitoring
Complementing the hardware is the browser-based Energy Planner software, which enables holistic planning of power and energy requirements throughout different construction stages.
The tool supports:
Site and fleet managers
Electrical engineers
Energy planners
Dispatchers
Energy Planner allows users to forecast demand, identify optimal grid connection points and design complete off-grid energy systems. As more smart consumers, storage units and distribution systems are integrated, active monitoring and partial control capabilities will further enhance operational efficiency.
Together, the storage systems, software and service capabilities form the technological foundation for the electric construction site of the future.
Holistic Energy Solutions and CO₂ Reduction
The integration of powerful hardware, intelligent software and reliable service creates the potential for CO₂-neutral construction site operations.
Key benefits include:
Locally emission-free energy supply for heavy machinery
Improved planning reliability
Seamless transition to fully electric machine fleets
Optimised energy procurement and cost savings
Enhanced charging management
An additional advantage is the ability to integrate photovoltaic (PV) systems with on-site battery storage. This maximises self-consumption, stores surplus energy and ensures reliable operation even during limited sunlight conditions.
Liebherr also supports the electrification of depots and existing machine fleets, enabling new business opportunities and long-term infrastructure transformation.
Daniel Bachmann summarises:
“We enable companies to significantly contribute to the reduction of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and jointly drive forward the electrification of construction and commercial vehicles.”
Through Liebherr Energy Solutions GmbH, the Group strengthens its role as a technology partner for sustainable construction and infrastructure development worldwide.
