1. Clean, Green, Sustainable

Sustainability is not a trend: it is a driver. All industries play an important role in cutting carbon emissions, and in becoming environmentally and socially responsible. Switching to Atlas Copco’s zero emission electric compressors will help contractors and companies achieve their sustainability goals by transitioning away from fossil-fuel dependency, and commit to a cleaner, greener future.

2. Silent

Sustainability is more than just cutting CO2 output. Cities want to ban pollution – but noise is also a pollutant. Here, even the latest diesel engines are noisy, whereas Atlas Copco portable electric compressors are quiet. They will remove noise distraction, enhancing both productivity and noise safety.  

3. Versatile

The combination of zero emissions and low noise means Atlas Copco electric portable compressors can work indoors and in extreme conditions of temperature and dust.

4. Consumer demand

Carbon reductions will become a more important differentiator as more and more companies publicly commit to more ambitious targets, and the industry is now waking up to the fact that portable compressors are perfect to go electric. It is likely that ambitions to go green will accelerate rather than slow down – not just out of necessity, but because the customers demand it.

5. Innovation

At Atlas Copco, we have a saying that ‘there is always a better way’. An example of this is in our global portfolio with the latest Stage V-compliant diesel portable compressors, which perform far better and are far cleaner than those of even just a decade ago. In India, turning to an unmatchable electric compressor range from 45KW to 110 KW is merely a natural evolution in aiming for ‘always better’, and staying ahead of the competitive curve by driving innovation.

6. Maintenance

Atlas Copco electric compressors have far fewer parts than their diesel alternative, period. This means less to go wrong and maintain.

7. User friendly

The lack of a relatively heavy combustion engine or a heavy battery pack offers several convenience advantages. Plug-in electric compressors from Atlas Copco are far lighter and have a 40% smaller footprint than their equivalents, making them easier to tow and manhandle.

8. Reliable

Why plug-in? Well, what site nowadays can operate without electricity? Themajority of urban sites have access to the electrical grid, and even those that don’t use gensets.

9. Efficient

Atlas Copco electric motors work at more than 90% efficiency. For sites that use gensets, they are often working at very low levels of capacity- inefficiently low in fact. Connecting our electric compressors often improves the emission performance of gensets. 

10. Cost effective

Over the course of their lives,the total cost of ownership for an electric compressor is cut considerably in comparison to diesel-run variations. Take for example ,Atlas Copco’s E-Air 400-185 (90 KW) operates at 50% less cost of ownership as compared to same capacity of diesel compressor.
