CARRARO GROUP POWERTRAIN Advanced driveline solutions CARRARO GROUP DELIVERS ADVANCED DRIVELINES FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF OFFHIGHWAY MACHINERY, WITH ITS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT SOLUTIONS INCLUDING MODULAR AXLES AND ELECTRIFICATIONREADY TRANSMISSIONS ENABLING SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY In the evolving landscape of construction equipment, where performance, sustainability and adaptability are paramount, Carraro Group continues to assert its leadership through a portfolio of advanced driveline solutions. From robust axles for backhoe loaders to cutting-edge transmissions for electric vehicles, Carraro’s offering reflects a deep commitment to technological excellence, global responsiveness and long-term relevance. and two gear-shifting modes (synchro and powershift), and can include optional modules such as 4WD disconnect and SAHR parking brakes. This modularity enables OEMs to tailor driveline configurations to specific vehicle architectures and operational requirements, optimising cost and efficiency. THE is more than a transmission, it’s a platform for electrification. Its compatibility with telemetry systems, instrument clusters, and HMI interfaces positions it as an important enabler of digital integration and autonomous functionality in next-generation construction equipment. Leadership in driveline systems Carraro’s reputation in the construction equipment sector is built on decades of experience designing and manufacturing complete driveline systems – axles and transmissions – for off-highway vehicles. These systems are tailored to meet the specific performance targets of off-highway applications ranging from compact/small wheel loaders and soil compactors to backhoe loaders and telehandlers. The company’s axles and transmissions for this segment are renowned for their durability, serviceability, and performance under demanding conditions. With optimised gear profiles, low-friction seals and integrated sensors, Carraro’s solutions deliver enhanced fuel efficiency, reliability and ease of maintenance. Carraro’s driveline offering for light CE applications covers the full spectrum of transmissions technologies – from hydrostatic to electric to torque converter systems – ensuring maximum flexibility and adaptability to evolving market needs. Axles for telehandlers Carraro’s new 46.XX series axles for telehandlers exemplify the company’s approach to modularity, scalability, and standardization. These axles are engineered to deliver top-tier performance with fewer components, enabling a wide range of configurations from the smallest to the largest models. Key features include improved fuel efficiency through reduced oil splashing and low-friction components, superior reliability with long-life seals and tapered roller bearings, and electrification readiness, ready to support hybrid and full-electric applications. These axles are not just mechanical components, they are smart systems designed to interface with GPS guidance, telemetry, and digital control platforms. Their adaptability makes them ideal for OEMs seeking to future-proof their equipment against evolving regulatory and operational demands. A gateway to electrified mobility Among Carraro’s most significant recent innovations is the THE transmission, an interchangeable system designed for both hydrostatic and electric configurations. Purpose-built for light construction equipment, THE represents Carraro’s strategic entry into clean, smart mobility solutions. The electric version of THE features an e-motor capable of delivering up to 870Nm and 10,500RPM, while the hydrostatic variant supports motors ranging from 80 to 210cc. Both versions offer flexible mounting options 30 iVT International Off-Highway 2026 Co-development as a strategic asset Carraro’s engineering capabilities are not confined to product development, they extend into co-development partnerships with OEMs. The company’s R&D centres in Italy, India and China play a pivotal role in this strategy, enabling Carraro to respond to local market needs with agility and precision. A recent major development contract underscores this shift. Carraro is now leveraging its engineering services to transform customer visions into real-world,
