Hybrid Tow Tractors Your problem Whenever operating conditions require use in closed buildings as well as mastering comparably large distances outdoors, pure diesel or electric tow tractors prove to be inadequate: while diesel tow tractors are excellently suited for covering great distances outdoors, they can be used only very limitedly in closed buildings because of the emissions. Electric tow tractors on the other hand are suitable for use in closed spaces but not for use on spacious airport grounds or company compounds due to their limited battery capacity. Fahrzeugbau GmbH

Our solution The VOLK Hybrid Tow Tractors HFZ 20 N – HFZ 30 N are equipped with an electric motor as well as a diesel engine. Therefore they can be used both in closed spaces and outdoors. The diesel drive can be switched on or off without any jerks and without interrupting traction – regardless of the speed and driving direction. This is possible because the driving axle is always driven by the electric motor. When the diesel engine is switched on, a generator driven by this diesel engine generates the current required for the electric motor. Excess power is used to recharge the traction batteries....

Lower life cycle costs The acquisition costs of investment goods typically make out only a fraction of the total life cycle costs. Therefore, not only the initial purchase price but also the later operating costs, useful life and resale value play an important role in investment decisions. Balance sheet policies must also be considered when developing investment projects. Given this, one of our basic objectives is to minimize the life cycle costs of our vehicles and to offer our customers not only vehicle purchasing but also tailor-made leasing models.

Lower operating costs thanks to higher efficiency Thanks to the design principle of the VOLK Hybrid Tow Tractors HFZ 20 N – HFZ 30 N, the diesel engine always runs in a defined r.p.m range independent of speed and hauled load, thus developing a consistently high efficiency. Reduced wear and distinctly lower fuel consumption are the result. The latter is especially true because also efficiency losses due to hydrostatic drive components can be avoided thanks to the design. Therefore, a significantly smaller diesel motor is sufficient to realize the required traction capacity. Longer useful life...

Higher availability Because tow tractors on airports and in industrial facilities are frequently used in continuous multi-shift operation seven days a week, maintenance and repair jobs usually cannot be postponed to non-productive or idle machine times. Therefore they almost inevitably result in an outage of the vehicles which is always connected with high costs and can be bridged only by the provision of replacement vehicles in some cases. Thus one of our priority development objectives is to increase vehicle availability. Fahrzeugbau GmbH

Fewer downtimes thanks to the rapid change diesel engine/generator module The VOLK Hybrid Tow Tractors HFZ 20 N – HFZ 30 N are serially equipped with a patented rapid change diesel engine/generator module, the socalled VOLK POWER PACK®. Unlike conventional hybrid tow tractors, these tow tractors have a diesel engine that is not permanently installed in the vehicle but is part of a modular unit. This unit can be exchanged very easily in about 5 minutes. Because the VOLK POWER PACK® also has an integrated tank, a starter battery and a starter, it can be operated autonomously. Therefore all conventional...

Higher future proofness Today, the general economic conditions are characterized more than ever by high dynamics and frequent, often discontinuous changes. Apart from pure profitability considerations, the aspect of future proofness is increasingly gaining importance particularly for long-term investments. For this reason, one of our central development objectives is to increase the future proofness of your investments through the modular design of our products. Fahrzeugbau GmbH

Strategic flexibility and future-orientedness thanks to modular design The modular design of the VOLK Hybrid Tow Tractors HFZ 20 N – HFZ 30 N makes them future-oriented and highly flexible tractive vehicles: for example it is very easy to upgrade vehicles initially purchased as pure electric tow tractors easily into hybrid tow tractors when operating conditions have changed. Conversely, of course, VOLK Hybrid Tow Tractors can be effortlessly “downgraded“ to simple electric tow tractors. Thus our products provide you with a high degree of strategic flexibility enabling you to react optimally to...
