Sustainable power supply in construction – Liebherr energy storage systems for Austrian civil protection

The Austrian Torrent and Avalanche Control Centre implements structural protection measures in areas at risk of extreme weather events, such as landslides, floods and avalanches, in order to protect the Austrian population from the damage these events can cause. The local authority in Pongau is the first to use a Liebherr energy storage system to power a construction site instead of a diesel generator. This saves around 2,000 litres of diesel per month.

Liebherr mobile cranes construct research facility: “Only possible with the LTM 1650-8.1”
