Briggs & Stratton is set to make a powerful impact at bauma 2025, showcasing its cutting-edge Vanguard engine and battery solutions designed for even the most-demanding of construction applications.
With a commitment to innovation, reliability, and efficiency, Vanguard continues to redefine performance in both combustion and electrification. Offering adaptable solutions that meet the industry’s evolving needs, Vanguard is also committed to delivering a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to smart, industry-leading technologies.
Visitors to Stand 349, Hall A2 will have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of Vanguard power solutions, including durable drop-fit single-cylinder engines, high performance BIG BLOCK™ petrol alternatives to diesel, and game-changing lithium-ion battery technology.
Additionally, there will be a number of exciting applications designed for the construction industry that demonstrate the brand’s unique power-agnostic approach, empowering customers with the freedom to choose the right power source for their specific needs.
Powering Performance: Single-Cylinder and BIG BLOCK Engines
Engineered for exceptional power, reliability, and reduced maintenance, while able to withstand the toughest of job site conditions, the Vanguard single-cylinder, horizontal shaft commercial engines will be on display at the show. These engines, including the Vanguard
160, 200, 300, and 400 EFI/ETC models, offer drop-fit solutions designed to meet the demands of challenging and demanding construction applications.
Featuring industry-leading maintenance intervals (200-hour oil maintenance and 600-hour air cleaner maintenance) these engines ensure reduced downtime and significantly lower TCO.
Technologies such as TransportGuard™ further enhance ROI by minimising unnecessary and costly oil changes, making Vanguard a smart investment for long-term efficiency.
Also featured will be Vanguard’s BIG BLOCK™ EFI/ETC 29,9 kW/40HP1 engine. As the industry continues to seek alternatives to diesel, Vanguard’s BIG BLOCK EFI/ETC engine range offers a compelling alternative for high-power applications.
These engines deliver the robust performance needed on construction sites while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Vanguard’s Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) technology optimises fuel efficiency, providing contractors with a cost effective and eco-conscious solution without compromising on power.
Vanguard™ Battery Pack Range and BatterySystem Solution
Visitors can also explore Vanguard advanced lithium-ion battery solutions, designed for commercial applications with energy capacities ranging from 1,5 kWh to 70 kWh. Built with a durable aluminum casing, high IP ratings, and an integrated Battery Management System (BMS), these batteries offer longevity, safety, and efficiency, even in the harshest environments.
At the show, Vanguard will showcase its Battery System Solution: Battery packs and chargers, along with soon-to-be-launched new motors, and motor controllers, all designed to simplify electrification for OEMs. This fully integrated system ensures all components work seamlessly together, accelerating the energy transition and streamlining electrification.
Elsewhere at the stand, visitors can explore innovations like the Vanguard 48V 1,5kWh* (Si1.5)2, a fully swappable battery that is interchangeable across brands and applications, and the 48V 5,0kWh3(Fi5.0), a fixed commercial battery pack that offers a total solution for OEMs and operators. Already successfully integrated into several real-world applications, such as the ARE demolition robot, EQLab Powerbank, B-Mac Trowel, and the Scorpick Pick & Carry crane applications on display at the show, businesses will learn how these products can offer ultimate flexibility in powering their equipment across multiple contexts.
1 Power levels are stated gross kilowatts per SAE J1940 as rated by Briggs & Stratton.
2 Based on cell life cycle testing using a 10A discharge and 1C charge.
3 Based on cell life cycle testing using a 1A discharge and 0.5C charge.
Furthermore, Vanguard will launch an electrified construction consortium at bauma 2025, a platform of OEMs who have chosen to collaborate around the Si1.5 swappable battery system. The portfolio of this group spans various construction applications, from floor saws to concrete trowels and mini dumpers, leveraging the power of standardisation on a unified power platform. Many will be showcased at bauma, offering rental businesses a diverse range of electrified equipment running on the same battery system. While standardisation is key, the Vanguard Si1.5 swappable commercial battery also enables easy fleet integration, fast charging and best in class runtimes, which ultimately leads to lower total cost of ownership for rental businesses and owners.
Pia Weimer, Director Marketing EMEA at Briggs & Stratton, said, “We are excited to showcase the full range of Vanguard power solutions at bauma 2025, featuring innovative products and construction applications that perfectly highlight our commitment to empowering customers with solutions tailored to their individual needs.”
“Our passion for power is at the very core of what we do, driving us to provide both combustion and electrification technologies that offer industry-leading performance and a lower total cost of ownership for our customers.”
“We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand, where we will help them discover the ideal power solutions for their projects, and provide insights into the comprehensive training, industry-leading service offerings, and technical support we offer to our customers as a business.”
Briggs & Stratton’s presence at bauma 2025 underscores its unwavering dedication to innovation, reliability, and performance. Through advanced engine technology, and pioneering electrification solutions, Vanguard continues to lead the way in powering the future of construction. To learn more, join Briggs & Stratton at Stand 349, Hall A2, April 7 – 13.
