Urban Mobility Systems

Urban Mobility Systems (UMS) is a clean-tech engineering company based in Oss, Netherlands, founded in 2016 by Lars Kool. The company focuses on providing zero-emission construction machinery and mobility solutions, emphasizing the electrification of off-highway vehicles. UMS offers a variety of services and products designed to reduce environmental impact. Their electrification kits convert diesel engines to electric power using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs. They also provide transport solutions for integrating electric vehicles into existing fleets, charging infrastructure for electric machinery, and training programs for effective operation and maintenance. UMS has successfully electrified over 200 machines, including excavators and cranes, and works closely with manufacturers, distributors, and fleet operators in the construction and heavy machinery sectors. In 2024, UMS generated nearly €10 million in revenue and has secured new orders indicating strong growth potential. In April 2025, the company was acquired by DEUTZ, enhancing its position in alternative drive systems.
