Publications in English

ENI (Emissionfree Network Infrastructure) is a foundation with 45+ members from the whole value chain of emission free heavy duty machinery. About half of our members are construction companies in the infrastructure sector, the other half consists of a.o. machinery dealers, converting companies, rental agencies, battery and genset producers.

We cooperate pre-competitively to speed up the development and availability of >20 tons Zeroemission (ZE) off-highway machinery and power production units. So far, we estimate a few hundred units to be used in the Netherlands, covering earth movement, foundation, asphalt and transportation. 

We cooperate with a wider range of stakeholder like the government, grid operators, public procurement organisations and industry associations. The Netherlands have a higher urgency to go ZE than other countries and we therefore see a substantial head start in such developments for Dutch organisations. 

Since dec 2022, we publish our work online in order to support development of safe and effective equipment even outside our member companies because the Dutch situation requires more openness and cooperation then traditionally possible in a market economy. Knowledge sharing is part of our core values and a requirement to companies that want to join ENI.  

Please find below some of our publications we have translated into English to increase our reach internationally now that other markets gain traction in this transition as well. 

The ENI OEM webinar - the Dutch case of ZE construction works (RECORDING)

22-09-2023

This recording of the first international ENI webinar explains why the transition to Zero Emission construction work is in full swing in the Netherlands, where we invest heavily in the development of electric construction machinery. Find here also the viewers' questions and answers.

The transition to Zero Emission construction work is in full swing. At least in the Netherlands, where we invest heavily in the development of electric construction machinery. The Dutch off-highway market transition is fueled by the strict nature conservation laws around Natura2000 area’s, where additional nitrogen oxides deposition is often prohibited. That makes the combustion engine a no-go technology. Policies with regard to air pollution in build-up areas, climate mitigation targets and occupational health objectives give additional reasons to speed up the electrification of the construction sector.

As machinery in the heavier categories (>120 kWh) is currently not available from OEM producers directly, the conversion industry in the Netherlands is growing by the day. Nonetheless, the Dutch market needs OEMs to deliver heavy machinery in emission free models in quickly increasing numbers if we are to succeed with this transition. 

During this webinar ENI host Tobias Stöcker talked with our guests about:

  • why this transition is so essential and urgent based on our legislative context.
  • that the public clients as well as private construction companies are committed and already investing heavily.
  • what we have learned from our daily ZE operations about the requirements for safe and effective solutions.
