Boost for further electrification of asphalt equipment through collaboration between BAM and New Electric 

Breukelen | 10 February 2025

We have entered into a partnership with New Electric, specialists in electric propulsion systems, to electrify multiple asphalt sets over the coming years in order to further reduce CO2 emissions.

From grey to green

We are in full transition from grey to green and also want to accelerate the sustainability of the sector. In addition to making commonly used materials such as asphalt and concrete more sustainable, we continuously work on further reducing CO2 emissions during the execution of our activities. The choice to collaborate with New Electric aligns seamlessly with our sustainability objectives. It enables us to electrify more asphalt paving trains, replacing traditional diesel engines with innovative electric drive systems. This reduces emissions, lowers operational costs and minimises noise pollution during projects.

Sustainable innovation as the key to success

‘Sustainable working is in our DNA,’ says Geerd Satter, Director at BAM Infra Nederland. ‘By working together with innovative partners such as New Electric, we can realise our ambitions and build a sustainable future and a better Netherlands.’ New Electric’s integrated technologies make it possible to make asphalt processing more efficient and environmentally friendly. Anne Kloppenborg, CEO of New Electric, adds: ‘We are proud to be working with BAM Infra Nederland on this transition. Together, we are building an emission-free future.’
