PIVOT EM
Pivot Electric Machines Corp builds new and retrofits existing heavy equipment witheconomically viable and operational effective “next generation” battery systems.
OUR MISSION
Lithium-ion battery production is a dirty, high carbon emission process
The average battery powered automobile must be driven 150,000 km on clean power before its production cost is carbon neutral with an internal combustion engine (gas) vehicle.
We are dedicated to economically transforming the mining and construction industries into carbon neutral businesses that not only supply the green economy but are aligned with the social climate and economic imperatives of our changing world.
STATUS QUO
Go Green
Mining and construction industries are building the foundation for the green revolution but they are not green themselves.
The Tech
Existing manufacturers are invested in existing Lithium-ion battery technology.
Competition
High energy demands exceed the capacity of current battery energy density and charging capabilities so existing battery electric equipment is not competitive, except in extreme conditions.
Shift Focus
Major OEMs focus on new equipment sales, and do not prioritize a need for existing fleet conversion from diesel engines to battery power and under-estimate the market for competitive equipment in the mining and construction business.
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT PARADOX
Production of Lithium-ion batteries is inherently carbon intensive and mining is a key component of producing battery metals
Existing battery technology is not efficient, robust or safe enough to effectively replace diesel engines that gobble up diesel at 4 liters/minute.
Mobile equipment accounts for 30% of carbon emissions in mines, more when you add ventilation and air heating.
Next generation batteries and chargers will provide a fast charging, robust, safe and economic solution.
Miners are racing to reduce carbon emissions to maintain social license.
OPPORTUNITY
The Decline
Existing Equipment manufacturers are tied to dead-end battery technology.
Carbon Neutral
Solid State batteries are the pivot that the mining and construction industry needs to move forward to a carbon neutral future.
Go Green
Mining and construction companies are under pressure to retrofit existing fleets and go green in new fleet purchases.
New Sales
Existing manufacturers ignoring retrofitting current equipment to electric and are focusing on new equipment sales.
The Market
Pivot’s initial focus is the Remanufacturing market, which is worth > $100b, and a long-term recurring heavy equipment market of $20b per year.
Long-Term
Pivot EM’s long-term plan is to manufacture OEM heavy equipment through relationships with remanufactured equipment customers.
