Atlas Copco Introduces All-in-One Hybrid Generator Solution
Atlas Copco’s new Integrated Hybrid Generator range brings diesel and battery power together in a single unit, helping reduce fuel use, emissions and costs while making transport, setup and operation more efficient.
The challenge for companies is clear: meet rising sustainability expectations without compromising operational efficiency. While the industry demands lower emissions and reduced fuel use, equipment must still perform reliably, remain easy to use and deliver consistent profitability.
The new QHS Integrated Hybrid Generators bring together diesel and battery power in one smart, all-in-one unit—helping rental fleets deliver reliable, lower-emission energy with less complexity. Expect reduced fuel use, lower CO₂ emissions, quick setup, and efficient autonomous operation.
Whether on a construction site or at an event, Integrated Hybrid Generators help overcome everyday operational challenges, making them an ideal solution for rental applications. By dynamically managing energy from multiple sources, they reduce unnecessary engine use and lower fuel consumption during low and fluctuating demand. Versus diesel-only operation, integrated hybrid generators can reduce fuel use and CO₂ emissions by up to 80%, while cutting engine runtime by over 95%—driving down operating costs and supporting more sustainable operations.
Integrated Hybrid Generators are purpose-built for rental fleets, combining all core components into a single compact canopy unit. By integrating diesel, battery, power electronics, and smart controls, they reduce transport demands, streamline installation, and maximize time on rent.
Equipped with multiple sockets, a terminal board, external fuel connections, and FleetLink telemetry built in, the unit is ready for rental use. Faster setup, remote monitoring, and improved uptime all contribute to reduced demands on field teams.
From a cost perspective, the QHS Integrated Hybrid Generators are purpose-built for measurable savings. Reduced fuel consumption and significantly less engine runtime directly lower operating expenses while extending component life. Fewer service requirements reduce maintenance costs, limit wear and tear, and reinforce long-term cost efficiency.
Ease of use is another key focus. The system is designed to be intuitive, allowing operators to access both engine and battery power at the push of a button. QHS generators incorporate a one-touch start/stop interface and fully autonomous operating mode, enabling automatic adaptation to variable load profiles without user input. This reduces training complexity and minimizes the potential for operational errors. Extended maintenance intervals improve project efficiency while helping reduce issues associated with wet stacking and low-load operation.
At the core of the system is Atlas Copco’s ECOController™, purpose-built for hybrid power applications. This intelligent controller manages the seamless transition between engine and battery power, ensuring optimal efficiency at all times. By automatically selecting the most efficient power source, the controller ensures energy is always used efficiently. It prioritizes supplying the load, then captures excess energy to charge the battery—maximizing overall efficiency.
