Agriculture Innovation: ZAPI GROUP Elevates High-Voltage Systems to Drive Sustainable Machinery
ZAPI GROUP, a global pioneer in electrification and intelligent mobility solutions, is set to unveil a significant leap forward in high-voltage technology at AGRITECHNICA 2025, taking place November 9–15 in Hannover. The company’s newest integrated high-voltage capabilities will take center stage in Hall 15, Booth H34, aligning closely with this year’s theme, “Touch Smart Efficiency.” With agriculture rapidly shifting toward automation, energy efficiency, and environmentally responsible machinery, ZAPI GROUP’s portfolio is designed to give OEMs a robust platform for building the next generation of electric, connected agricultural equipment.
A Unified Approach to High-Voltage Electrification
Agricultural Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly moving beyond individual components and embracing complete electrification ecosystems. ZAPI GROUP’s newly enhanced high-voltage architecture directly supports this transition by delivering seamless integration, intelligent power management, and digital connectivity across electric machines.
These innovations enable agricultural machinery to operate with greater efficiency, sustainability, and functional reliability. Whether used in tractors, harvesters, field robots, or autonomous implements, ZAPI GROUP’s solutions bring high-performance electrification capabilities that address the rigorous duty cycles and harsh operating environments typical of modern agriculture.
Key Technologies Debuting at AGRITECHNICA 2025
ZAPI GROUP will highlight several cornerstone technologies engineered for high-voltage systems in advanced agricultural applications. These include:
• IMI Permanent Magnet Motor with Integrated Inverter
Featuring high power density, liquid cooling, and straightforward mechanical integration, the IMI motor system offers OEMs a compact, efficient propulsion solution. By combining the motor and inverter into a single unit, ZAPI simplifies installation, enhances thermal performance, and reduces overall system complexity.
• 7.2 kW Liquid-Cooled High-Power On-Board Charger
Designed for both 400 V and 800 V battery pack architectures, this charger supports faster, more stable charging cycles needed for high-duty electric machinery. Its liquid-cooling system ensures reliable operation even in demanding continuous-use scenarios.
• OBC Bidirectional V2X Charger
As agriculture becomes increasingly digital and interconnected, energy-sharing capabilities are growing in importance. ZAPI’s bidirectional V2X charger enables electric machinery to communicate with external grids, microgrids, or other vehicles—facilitating smarter energy distribution within farms and connected agricultural systems.
• DCC3 Rugged DC/DC Converter with Built-in Cybersecurity
Security is now a core requirement for connected agricultural equipment. The DCC3 converter not only provides stable DC/DC power conversion but also embeds cybersecurity protections to safeguard vehicle systems from digital threats. This ensures a reliable foundation for machine intelligence, telematics, and remote operations.
• ACH3 High-Performance Inverter Portfolio
The ACH3 series offers durability, scalability, and customization to meet the diverse needs of electrified vehicles and advanced industrial machinery. Its design supports highly efficient motor control, longer system life, and flexible integration options for OEMs.
Together, these high-voltage components enhance ZAPI GROUP’s comprehensive electrification ecosystem, which already includes motive power systems, advanced charging technologies, autonomous navigation solutions, telematics, safety systems, and collision-avoidance tools. The integrated platform approach enables OEMs to design agricultural machinery that is not only electric, but smart, connected, and future-ready.
Building Smarter, More Productive Agricultural Systems
According to Claes Avasjo, Executive Director at ZAPI GROUP, the agricultural industry is undergoing a major transformation:
“The industry is shifting from component-level thinking to integrated, high-voltage architectures that provide verifiable, smart efficiency. By embedding digital technologies like V2X capability and advanced cybersecurity directly into our core electrification platform, we are enabling OEMs to strategically create the networked, sustainable machinery required to meet the increasing productivity and efficiency challenges of global crop production.”
This approach responds to rising global food demands, the need to reduce emissions, and the push for intelligent automation across crop production workflows.
Expert-Led Educational Sessions at AGRITECHNICA
Beyond the product demonstrations, ZAPI GROUP’s engineering and electrification specialists will lead four technical sessions at the DLG-Expert Stage Systems & Components, offering OEMs and industry professionals practical insights and real-world applications. Topics include:
