Organization Description

Heavy equipment like excavators and dozers are heavy polluters. They run on diesel engines and produce 3.2 gigatons of CO2. Their manufacturers are under pressure to begin electrifying their fleets; however, they lack the experience and the powertrain components.


4QT makes high power electric drives specifically for the heavy equipment industry, with patents on the motors and batteries. We have traction with defense and heavy equipment OEMs, and demonstrated our tech on their vehicles.


The founders come from the heavy equipment industry. CEO is a powertrain expert from MIT. CTO is an ETHZ PhD who led teams building rockets and heavy machining equipment at places like Rolls-Royce Aerospace and Roketsan. CCO led product globally at construction equipment giant Hilti.


Our vision is an active fleet of 20M electric heavy equipment vehicles.
