Up to 57% saving on drive power - Smaller chain (more sturdy), rolling application, better cables

On closer inspection, the energy consumption in machine and plant construction, including all the costs for power electronics, is basically no different than in the car market. If car drivers can save around 60 percent in fuel costs altogether with different tires and different fuel, then those are technical and cost benefits that should soon be tried out.
