0:00	With our electromechanical drives, we don't have a direct impact on nature.
0:04	I would take up the example of cable car technology again.
0:07	But you can also include hydraulic steel construction.
0:11	These are certainly areas of application that
0:14	are relatively sensitive in terms of nature conservation.
0:17	If I compare the whole thing with hydraulics, then we have the corresponding hydraulic lines, hydraulic oil and these are very,
0:26	very vulnerable systems that require a lot of maintenance.
0:29	If we have a leak somewhere or a loss of oil, then of course
0:34	it leaks directly into the environment.
0:36	These are things where you say, okay, it's better to avoid them.
0:39	That's why our electromechanical drives are a very, very good alternative.

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
