Electrification
Electrifying heavy-duty machines is never just a battery swap. It’s a strategic engineering challenge. Whether you’re developing a new electric machine or converting existing equipment, you need a battery system that fits your machine, your production process and your business case.
At Intercel, we create off-highway battery packs that make electrification technically feasible, commercially viable and ready for real-world performance.
The battery specialist in your engineering team
As an OEM or machine converter, you’re navigating a complex transition. Limited installation space, new safety requirements, ambitious performance targets and pressure to bring electric machines to market quickly. Therefore, your battery system must integrate seamlessly: the right shape, voltage, capacity, communication architecture, and above all, proven safety and reliability.
We design and engineer custom battery packs and complete energy systems that are built around your machine’s constraints, your duty cycles and your production needs. From concept to series manufacturing, we become part of your engineering team.
European quality, local support
From prototype to production, we provide hands-on engineering support, testing, validation and lifecycle monitoring. All from European teams that stay involved throughout the machine’s lifecycle.
Certified safety level
Designed and assembled in Europe, built to the highest safety standards and compliant with strict regulatory demands. Ready for challenging off-highway conditions.
Plug-and-play
From battery pack to BMS, charging, thermal management, robust casing and IoT: we build fully integrated systems that are delivered plug-and-play.
Proven co-creation concept
Developed side-by-side with your engineering team, fully tailored to your machine’s mechanical, electrical and thermal requirements. Together we turn your machine requirements into real-world performance.
Trusted partner in off-highway battery packs
“The first contact was immediately good. Especially with custom battery packs, intensive cooperation is crucial. Combining each other’s knowledge and experience makes our total solution better. With the goal being the most efficient electric powertrain possible.”
Derk Hoogveldt
System Engineer E-Drive
“Our customers can theoretically choose up to the day of delivery whether they want an electric or diesel engine, because the battery drive takes up exactly the same space in the unit as the diesel drive.”
Pieter Goudeseune
Business manager at Gomutec
“Intercel is able to build us a custom battery, upon request, as we want it. That was not possible at our previous suppliers”
Frans Geens,
Gebroeders Geens
“The first meeting was very pleasant and we immediately went into depth together. In fact, we were good partners right from the start.”
Dries van Wijk,
Managing director at Nimatech
“Intercel combines its knowledge and experience, taking exact account of technical requirements, commercial interests and legislation.“
Mies Melotte,
Technical Advisor of Beers Hoogeloon
“We are happy to work with Intercel on this product, and we believe the Battery Box 30 has great potential as a mobile power solution,”
Noël Steentjes,
Technical Director of Bredenoord
Complete systems,
engineered in Europe
We don’t just build batteries. We build complete systems. From advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) and thermal management to chargers and IoT communication modules, every component is integrated for maximum performance and lifetime efficiency. All systems are developed and assembled in our own production centre in The Netherlands, following the highest safety and quality standards.
How many kWh would fit in your machine?
Calculate it yourself using our new capacity calculator.
Proven co-creation concept
Every machine is different.
That’s why we believe in co-creation.
Together with your engineering team, we define the ideal voltage, capacity, layout, and communication architecture. Our engineers translate your requirements into a modular, safe, and production-ready battery system. Fully tested, compliant, and ready to power your next generation of equipment.
Robust practical applications
As a leading expert in battery technology, Intercel has been involved in electrification projects from the very start. Over time, we have developed, delivered, and implemented a range of different battery technologies for use in construction, vehicles for civil infrastructure, city cleaning, outdoor events and more.
- Construction: excavators, loaders, cranes, compact machinery, floor mortar trucks
- Agriculture: tractors, harvesters, carriers
- Material handling: mounted forklifts, telehandlers, AGVs, terminal tractors
- Mining & tunnelling: underground loaders, haulers, drilling equipment
- Municipal & public service: sweepers, waste collection, service vehicles, electric workboats
- Industrial & special equipment: production equipment, platforms & scissor lifts, utility vehicles
Electrification creates value wherever machines:
✔ are used intensively
✔ operate in noise-sensitive or emission-regulated environments
✔ face rising fuel costs
✔ require predictable uptime and lower total cost of ownership
✔ must comply with increasingly strict regulations

Charging your off-highway machines
Charging an off-highway machine often requires more than a standard grid connection. Many worksites lack sufficient on-site power or experience fluctuating demand. To support reliable charging in these environments, Intercel offers mobile energy storage systems that deliver stable AC or DC power wherever your machine operates. These units function as standalone charging infrastructure, enabling overnight charging, opportunity charging during shifts, or high-power fast charging when required. The result: predictable energy availability, reduced dependency on the grid and maximised uptime for your electrified equipment.
