F1 F-Tools: Low CO2 Small and Handheld Tools

---

Future hand-held tools must fulfil costumer demands as well as legislative regulations. Future limits, the usage of Zero CO₂ fuels and costumer requirements for higher comfort lead to a “Smart Tool” approach. This approach combines the improvement in CO₂ and emission level by a novel approach of an exhaust gas aftertreatment with the usage of a connected small and hand-held tool. 

• Knowledge gain about influence of Zero CO2 fuels on small hand-held application powertrain
• Research on Smart Tool approach (extended functionality and monitoring of hand-held tools using distributed computing power)
• Future emission & CO2 regulation, future safety regulations and operator comfort
• Sensors and control methods for Zero CO2 fuels use in small hand-held applications
