Emission-Free Pumping: Powerful Performance Without Diesel

Published on 18.02.2026

Diesel generators have long been the standard power source for construction and sewage pumps. But the industry is evolving. Today, battery-powered mobile energy solutions offer a cleaner, quieter, and emission-free alternative — without compromising on performance.


In cooperation with Tsurumi Pumps UK and Instagrid, real-world performance tests were carried out to explore this sustainable approach.


Two pumps were connected to battery-powered generators:

  • The LB480 drainage pump
  • The KTV3-55 heavy-duty tunnel construction pump


The goal: measure how much water could be transported on a single battery charge.


The Results Speak for Themselves:

Both units pumped approximately 40,000 litres of water on just one battery charge.


✔ Energy-efficient

✔ Quiet in operation

✔ Completely emission-free


These impressive results demonstrate that battery-powered solutions are no longer a niche alternative — they are a viable, future-ready option for dewatering applications on construction and infrastructure sites. Detailed insights into the test setup and results can be found here.
