INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE
Traditional petrol-powered garden tools have enjoyed popularity because their performance and running costs have been favorable. In only a few years, however, EGO has proved that battery-powered garden tools such as self propelled lawn mowers and battery powered leaf blowers are a better choice for the environment than those powered by fossil fuels. As European and national governments force organisations to reconsider their environmental policies, the eventual elimination of petrol powered landscaping equipment is inevitable.
The rise in popularity of battery-powered garden tools stems from their impressive performance capabilities and their cost-effectiveness in comparison to traditional petrol-driven counterparts. EGO, in a relatively short span, has showcased the remarkable potential of green energy harnessed through battery-powered tools, establishing them as a notably more environmentally conscious choice than tools reliant on fossil fuels.
The appeal of battery-powered garden tools lies in their ability to deliver robust performance while maintaining lower operating costs, a combination that has garnered increasing attention among consumers and professionals alike. EGO's swift emergence within this market exemplifies a shift towards more eco-friendly options in the realm of gardening equipment.
Over the past few years, EGO has successfully highlighted the ecological advantages of battery-powered tools compared to those relying on fossil fuels. This paradigm shift not only introduces a cleaner and greener alternative but also reflects a broader societal movement towards sustainability in everyday practices. EGO's strides in this domain underscore the potential for eco-friendly, battery-powered garden tools to drive positive environmental change within the realm of power tools and gardening equipment.
CLEANER, QUIETER, SAFER TECHNOLOGY
The evolution of lithium-ion batteries, exemplified by pioneering developments from companies like EGO, represents the most compelling alternative to traditional petrol power, particularly with the ongoing strides in tackling the challenge of recycling. It's not just the toxic emissions that pose environmental concerns; the impact of noise pollution on both human and animal health is equally significant.
In rigorous testing, the majority of EGO's battery-powered garden tools have consistently registered decibel levels below the stipulated regulatory thresholds. This stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to reducing noise pollution. Furthermore, these cutting-edge lithium-ion batteries not only meet noise level regulations but also offer an extended lifecycle compared to conventional petrol-powered tools, ensuring users derive maximum utility and longevity from their investment.
The advancements in lithium-ion battery technology, as demonstrated by innovative companies like EGO, are pivotal in presenting a viable and effective alternative to traditional petrol-powered equipment. The ongoing efforts to address recycling challenges further solidify these batteries as an eco-friendly solution. Noise pollution's impact on environmental and public health is a critical concern that EGO's quieter garden tools directly address, meeting and often surpassing regulatory standards. Additionally, the longer lifespan of these next-generation lithium-ion batteries ensures durability and an extended period of use, making them a valuable and sustainable investment for users seeking both performance and environmental responsibility.
ZERO PETROL EMISSIONS
With zero chemical emissions during use, EGO’s cordless outdoor power tools are unaffected by these directives – and will remain unaffected well into the future. Their ARC Lithium™ battery gives petrol-matching power but without the fumes.
According to the US Environment Protection Agency, in one hour of use, a new gas powered lawnmower produces the same air pollution emissions as 11 new cars. In addition, it found that each year around 17 million gallons of fuel, mainly petrol, are spilled while refueling lawn equipment – more than the Exxon Valdez disaster. These alarming statistics from the US Environment Protection Agency reveal the significant environmental impact of using gas-powered lawnmowers. In just one hour of use, a new gas powered lawnmower produces the same air pollution emissions as 11 new cars.
In 2011, a test measuring the emissions of a Ford v8 pickup truck and a standard 4 stroke leaf blower revealed an uncomfortable truth: a small petrol-powered leaf blower is worse for the environment than a truck with a V8 engine. The leaf blower’s tiny engine produced 6.8 times more nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide than the V8 truck’s, and 13.5 times more carbon dioxide.
CORDLESS GARDEN TOOLS FOR THE FUTURE
The inception of EGO was rooted in a straightforward yet powerful vision: to leverage cutting-edge technology to craft an innovative battery-powered tool system that reaps multiple benefits, foremost among them being the reduction of environmental impact.
The core principle guiding our pursuit is to demonstrate that minimizing environmental impact does not necessitate compromising on performance or affordability. This philosophy has been substantiated through our ongoing achievements, marking a significant milestone where battery power now supersedes the capabilities of petrol-driven tools. At Dax Tools, in partnership with EGO, our collective aspiration is to remain at the vanguard of this transformative journey, continually driving innovations that reshape the landscape of power tools.
EGO is steadfast in its commitment to refining this technology to be as efficient, safe, cost-effective, and high-performing as possible. Our ultimate aim is to render petrol as a relic of the past, demonstrating that a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future is achievable through the advancement and widespread adoption of battery-powered tools. The collective dedication at Dax Tools and EGO is to ensure that this transformative technology not only matches but exceeds the capabilities of petrol, propelling us into a future where eco-friendly alternatives are the norm.
CHALLENGE 2025
If each of us made the small change to battery powered garden tools, it would have a huge positive impact on our environment.
Challenge 2025 is EGO's commitment to changing the future of gardening for the better. Their vision is that, within five years, battery power will become the principal power source for outdoor power equipment. This will lead to significant reductions in emissions and noise, while at the same time increasing safety and user comfort. We will achieve this by empowering outdoor power equipment users to move away from petrol. Together, we will build a cleaner, quieter, safer future.
