Pixy’s electric conversion kits provide a drop-in, bolt-on alternative to aging internal combustion engines, enabling smooth, silent, and maintenance-friendly operation. In addition to original classics, the growing demand for electric vintage replicas—especially in tourism and hospitality—makes Pixy’s powerpacks a practical and sustainable solution. This preserves the timeless charm of vintage design while delivering modern electric convenience and zero-emission performance.
Pixy Electro-Hydrostatic Drive
Traditional heavy-duty machines use one large engine to drive several hydraulic pumps simultaneously — although, at any given time, only one or two pumps are in active use. This results in continuous fuel consumption and mechanical losses.
Pixy’s modular electric systems allow each hydraulic pump to be driven by its own dedicated motor, ensuring that power is delivered only when required. This innovation not only reduces fuel consumption and wear but also improves precision and safety. In certain cases, hybrid configurations can be created, where the main functional hydraulic system remains engine-driven, while secondary systems are battery-powered.
This combination reduce idle engine loads and facilitate downsizing of the primary engine, resulting in substantial fuel and emission savings.
This principle is not new — passenger vehicles already replaced hydraulic power steering with electric systems for similar efficiency benefits. Pixy extends this concept to industrial and heavy-duty applications, enabling partial or full electrification without compromising mechanical reliability.
With such adaptable configurations, Pixy EDS delivers both standalone electric power and hybrid efficiency, ensuring that even the most demanding equipment can transition toward cleaner, quieter, and more efficient operation.
