AS-MOTOR ELECTRIC

NOW ALSO AVAILABLE WITH THE STIHL POWERHEAD
From the coming 2027 season, selected AS-Motor machines will be available with the Stihl Powerhead. This will allow users to choose between two established battery systems in future and integrate AS-Motor machines even more easily into their existing fleets of equipment.
Users have the batteries – AS- Motor has the professional machines Choosing a battery system is a long-term investment. Today’ s professional users expect not only high-performance machines, but also the ability to use batteries across as many applications as possible.
With the Stihl Powerhead, AS- Motor is expanding its battery portfolio and giving users of the widely used Stihl battery system access to selected specialist machines for professional landscape maintenance. Existing batteries can continue to be used, eliminating the need for additional investment in a separate battery system. The new solution also opens up additional opportunities for specialist retailers. Many specialist retailers stock both the AS-Motor and Stihl brands. These retailers have relevant experience with the battery system. The new
AS-Motor models can therefore be easily integrated into existing product ranges. At the same time, end customers benefit from a solution that fits seamlessly into their existing equipment fleets. The new Powerhead variant specifically complements AS-Motor’ s existing battery range by offering a further choice. Not every user works with the same battery system or has the same requirements. This allows customers to choose the solution that best suits their fleet of machines and their workflows.
The new Stihl Allpro battery system The new Stihl Allpro battery system forms the basis of the new powerhead, which delivers a peak power output of 2950 watts. This new generation of batteries has been specially developed for professional applications and, thanks to modern tabless cell technology, offers significantly higher power output across the entire charge range. This ensures that consistently high power is available, even as the charge level drops, particularly during powerintensive tasks.
At the same time, the new powerheads are fully compatible with the batteries from the previous Stihl AP system. Users can therefore utilise both the new Allpro batteries and their existing AP batteries, continuing to make full use of their existing investments without any restrictions.
