Manufacturers of agricultural and construction equipment face challenges including reducing costs, improving efficiency, increasing innovation and in more sustainable ways. Henkel optimizes manufacturing processes such as structural adhesive bonding to replace welding, which can strengthen assembly, reduce costs and CO2 emissions. Henkel next generation metal pretreatment cleaners and coatings help reduce water consumption and waste water generation in production lines.
Electrical power and electronics are key to our sustainable future, from electric vehicles (EVs) run by renewables-powered batteries to intelligent electronics that can optimize efficiency and minimize the environmental footprint of any machine. The heavy equipment sector is no exception. Electrical and electronic components are at the heart of the efficient, zero-emission technologies that are driving the sector toward meeting its net-zero goals.
