Urban Mobility Systems and Futavis will operate under the new DEUTZ NewTech company names
Focus on battery systems, software solutions, and electrified powertrains
NewTech activities become clearly recognizable as part of DEUTZ
Cologne, July 1, 2026 – As part of its “Next DEUTZ” strategy, DEUTZ is systematically advancing its transformation towards sustainable and future-proof drive solutions. A key element of this transformation is the creation of a unified, clearly recognizable NewTech presence. Against this backdrop, two companies that already belong to DEUTZ AG are being renamed with immediate effect:
- The electrification specialist previously known as Urban Mobility Systems B.V. will now operate under the name DEUTZ NewTech Netherlands B.V. The Dutch company has already successfully electrified more than 300 machines including excavators, wheel loaders, and cranes, and has built a strong position as an innovation and technology leader for battery-electric drives for off-highway applications.
- Futavis GmbH, based in Aachen, will become DEUTZ NewTech GmbH. As one of Germany’s leading providers and development experts for battery management systems and battery technology, the company focuses on the development of modular scalable battery systems. The core element of its customer-specific batteries is the company’s proprietary Battery Management System (BMS).
Both companies belong to the Business Unit NewTech and work closely with various DEUTZ locations on the development and industrialization of battery systems, software solutions, and electrified powertrain concepts.
“With the new company names, we are making visible what has already become reality in our daily business: we work as a one NewTech team across locations on shared products and solutions,” says Bert van Hasselt, CEO of the Business Unit NewTech. “The former individual company brands will become less prominent, while our technology and system expertise under the name ‘DEUTZ NewTech’ move even more into the spotlight.”
Futavis GmbH has been part of DEUTZ since 2019. Urban Mobility Systems has been integrated into DEUTZ since 2025. Both companies are part of the Business Unit New Tech and have played a key role in building up the NewTech portfolio in recent years.
“In future, our customers will see even more clearly that all NewTech activities are part of DEUTZ – with a shared understanding of quality, a common technology roadmap, and a consistent service philosophy,” van Hasselt adds.
For customers and partners, the renaming will not fundamentally change the existing collaboration. The existing points of contact will remain available as before.
