4 pillars strategy at Buehler

We live Sustainability

Conserving energy and resources.
Right from the start.

Lighter, smaller, more energy-efficient. The Bühler Motor Group develops energy-efficient drives while taking into account the consumption of resources and energy throughout the product life cycle.

Greentech from Bühler Motor is a holistic, sustainable approach that forms the basis for further growth. It comprises our four-pillar strategy for improving our environmental performance and is certified in accordance with the ISO 14001 environmental management system.

  • Greentech products

    Up to 90 % of all elements of the manufacturing process of a product are identified in the development phase, during which Bühler Motor analysis carefully the intended purpose, use of materials, and the application’s environment. 

    • Product planning and development, while considering the product's lifecycle, from design, to suppliers, and recycling
    • Minimizing material use and weight through the consistent use of FE simulations
    • Increasing efficiency using innovative technologies such as segmented stators
  • Greentech production

    Year after year, Bühler Motor has seen a significant environmentally friendly progress made in production by using less resources and staff training, including:

    • Energy data analysis for the energy-efficient use of equipment
    • Lowering use of material through minimizing production waste and returning it to the production cycle if possible
    • Increasing the percentage use of recyclable material
    • Using reusable packaging
  • Greentech facility

    Our production and administration buildings are powered by a high percentage of green energy. 

    • Use of energy-saving LED lights and presence detectors
    • Continuous improvement in environmental protection in the company (UVP) using defined measurement and target key figures
    • Power and heat generation with combined heat and power (CHP) plant - this is also used to generate cold water for air conditioning systems and process cooling
    • Use of energy-efficient air compressors with heat recovery
  • Greentech applications

    Bühler Motor customized drive solutions are used in all sorts of applications to help reduce our ecological footprint and cut CO2 emissions. 

    • Maintaining gear oil pressure with start/stop functions in motor vehicles
    • Energy-efficient thermo-management in combustion engines
    • Cooling of batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles
    • Post-treatment of exhaust gases, control of exhaust gas return valves in motor vehicles
    • Shading of buildings to reduce the energy demand for air conditioning
    • Weight reduction in aircraft through the low-weight design of our aircraft seat adjustment system
