FLANDERS to integrate EKU’s idle management tech into electrification, automation, drive solutions
FLANDERS Electric Motor Service LLC and EKU Power Drives GmbH have announced an exclusive strategic partnership bringing EKU’s idle management solutions to the mining industry.
This collaboration will, the companies say, accelerate the mining industry’s decarbonisation push, while reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
EKU Power Drives is recognised as a leader in idle management technology for large diesel engines, with a track record of over 1,000 successful installations worldwide. Its advanced powertrain optimisation systems leverage cutting-edge automation, sophisticated control algorithms and innovative hardware to maximise fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and extend engine life. “The company’s relentless focus on innovation, reliability and operational performance has positioned it as the preferred choice for mining operations seeking to enhance sustainability and cost-effectiveness,” it says.
FLANDERS calls itself a global leader in electrification, drive systems and mining automation, delivering high-performance, retrofittable OEM-agnostic solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, reliability and productivity across the industry. With a long-standing legacy of innovation in power systems, motor technology and intelligent control solutions, FLANDERS is at the forefront of helping mining companies modernise their existing fleets, reduce total cost of ownership and reduce carbon emissions, it says.
Through this collaboration, FLANDERS will integrate EKU’s technology into its broader portfolio of electrification, automation and drive solutions, ensuring mining operators benefit from seamless implementation, expert support and optimised fleet performance. This partnership enables FLANDERS to offer a comprehensive approach to mine fleet modernisation, leveraging EKU’s state-of-the-art solutions with FLANDERS’ deep industry expertise and global service network, it says.
“This partnership is a milestone in the mining industry’s journey toward decarbonisation,” John Oliver, Executive Chairman at FLANDERS, says. “Mining companies are looking for practical, high-impact solutions that don’t require complete fleet replacement. By combining FLANDERS’ expertise in electrification and OEM-agnostic automation with EKU’s proven idle management technology, we are providing a scalable, cost-effective pathway to a safer, more efficient and more sustainable future.”
Manuel Klein, Managing Director at EKU Power Drives, said: “With FLANDERS’ mining expertise, retrofittable OEM-agnostic solutions and robust global service network, we are confident that our idle management technology will reach more owners and operators looking to lower their costs and carbon footprint and improve fleet performance. Together, we are enabling smarter, more sustainable mining operations.”
