ABOUT US

Powershift Technologies is an Australian-owned clean tech company, supporting industry to decarbonise through emission-free, transportable power solutions. 

We are committed to being at the forefront of the energy transition and to accelerating industry on the path to Net Zero through cleaner, quieter, more efficient alternatives to traditional diesel-based offerings. 

Our rental fleet of mobile battery systems supports industry to decarbonise through dramatically reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while simultaneously driving efficiency and cost savings.

Each year, Australian industry alone spends over $1BN on diesel generators and more than $4BN on fuel to run those generators, emitting over 6.7 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Through a targeted approach to reducing diesel generator usage, we can affect real and measurable change across key major industries.

Through pairing a Powershift battery with a diesel generator, we can reduce fuel usage and CO2 emissions by up to 75%. Powered by renewables, our battery systems can operate completely emission and fuel-free. That’s just the beginning of what’s not only possible, but already proven.
