Environmentally friendly technologies are more important today than ever before. The electromechanical drives from ZIMM set standards in terms of sustainability in mechanical and plant engineering.

#### Why are electromechanical drives environmentally friendly?

The systems from ZIMM work without fluids such as hydraulic oil, thus preventing environmental pollution caused by leaks.

#### In which sensitive areas do your projects particularly benefit?

- Cable car technology
- Hydraulic steel construction
- Installations in or near nature conservation areas

#### What advantages do electromechanical systems offer over hydraulic solutions?

- No hydraulic oil → No environmental pollution
- No hydraulic lines → Less maintenance and risk of failure
- High operational reliability in sensitive environments
