efa specialises in supplying solutions, sub-assemblies and components for mobile machinery. As a Franco-German equipment manufacturer with 25 years’ experience, we work in particular with manufacturers of machinery and robotic, autonomous or remotely operated electrical systems. Our company currently supplies over 1,000 customers, mainly in France and across Europe, equipping construction machinery, lifting cranes, electric vehicles, cranes, agricultural machinery, airport vehicles and many others. Our group’s main sites are located in Germany (Berlin) and France (Tours – Fondettes). The Electrification division stands out for its expertise in the energy transition of industrial and off-road vehicles. We offer bespoke solutions for electric propulsion, including the design and integration of customised electrical systems, the supply of electronic components and expertise in retrofitting to convert combustion-engine vehicles into electric versions. The Control and Command division designs intelligent systems to optimise the operation of mobile machinery and off-road equipment. Our services cover the development of wired control systems (joysticks, pedals, HMI interfaces) and wireless control systems (radio controls), automation, remote monitoring, teleoperation and the modernisation of existing installations to improve their overall performance. The Detection and Safety division, meanwhile, works to enhance the safety of mobile machinery through anti-collision, detection and signalling solutions. We use advanced technologies such as radar, lidar and smart cameras for autonomous navigation projects, thereby helping to prevent accidents on construction sites and protect operators.
