John Deere Power Systems used its presence at the 2025 bauma trade show in Munich to usher in what it termed “a new era in power.” The new adage means “developing technologies that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate the challenges our industry will face in the years to come,” said Nick Block, the company’s Director of Global Marketing and Sales. “We believe the future of power is not defined by a single solution but by a range of options that allow our customers to choose the best fit for their operations.”
To this end, John Deere Power Systems is partnering with the Austrian firm Kreisel Electric on batteries and charging solutions designed to bring battery-powered equipment to key off-highway markets such as the construction, mining and material handling sectors. During the 2025 bauma trade show in Munich, the two unveiled some of the early fruits of their partnership, including the KBE.59.750M battery pack that is slated to enter production in 2026.
The KBE.59.750M features Dynamic Performance Management, which utilizes patented cell immersion cooling technology and advanced software systems, JDPS said, adding that “this technology is engineered to optimize daily performance, life performance and performance at extreme temperatures, all while meeting or exceeding industry safety standards.”
The partnership with Kreisel will enable John Deere to offer charging solutions for off-road electric construction vehicles where typical grid infrastructure won’t suffice.
John Deere also showcased its Next Generation Engines—the JD4, JD14, and JD9 engines provide more power than the existing John Deere PSS 9.0L engine and offer streamlined integration for a wide range of construction applications. The optimized JD9 builds on the performance of the existing 9.0L engine to offer lower complexity and installation costs, the company said.
To support the transition to electric-powered off-highway machinery effectively, John Deere said that it will provide “charging solutions that are as versatile and adaptable as the job sites they serve,” explaining that it will develop both stationary and mobile charging options with varying power outputs and charge times that can be scaled.
