Excavator
Our unique Digital Displacement® pump is suitable for diesel, hybrid and fully electric off-highway machines.
Digital Displacement pumps – improved off-highway efficiency – whichever future you choose
We are experts in digital mobile hydraulics
By replacing a standard pump with a digitally enabled pump, our customers enjoy improved productivity and control for better fuel consumption and the potential to downsize engines or battery packs. It is a technology which delivers benefits today and will be equally beneficial tomorrow - whichever route you take.
- Smoother faster control means more work done per day
- Improved engine-to-work efficiency means increased maximum power - with the same size engine. Or the opportunity to downsize engines, without any loss of power or control
- Intelligent digital controls mean individual cylinders are only called into action when required, reducing losses system-wide
- This means longer work-cycles or smaller batteries for next-generation electric machines
Digital Displacement® Innovation center
Each Danfoss Digital Displacement pump will be assembled at our new global Digital Displacement manufacturing and R&D facility near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Here we have developed a ground-breaking, dynamic manufacturing facility which brings a new approach to precision assembly. This will ensure quality at every stage.
The fully flexible facility has been custom designed from the ground up. Helping to assemble a new generation of Digital Displacement pumps for off-highway and industrial customers.
Production has already begun, with the first customer pumps rolling off the line in August.
Introduction Digital Displacement for off-highway
Digital Displacement construction expert, Dr. Chris Williamson talks about DDP in your off-highway machine. Hear how the beating heart is at the centre of a hydraulic innovation
Digital Displacement for off-highway
Our unique Digital displacement pump is suitable for diesel, hybrid and fully electric off-highway machines. It has been designed by Danfoss to be easily integrated into standard machines. This is offering a straightforward route to improved efficiency, productivity and control
Are you ready for a hydraulic revolution?
Our Digital Displacement technology is ready, and it will have a global impact. With this technology, we can save 40 million tons of CO2 – the annual energy use of 4.6 million homes – just by reducing waste heat in excavators.

Digital Displacement® pump
Our Digital Displacement® hydraulics is a fundamental innovation. It utilizes a radial piston machine which enables cylinders in real time, using ultra-fast mechatronic valves controlled by an embedded, intelligent computer. This makes our pump highly controllable and extremely efficient. The result is lower energy losses, increased productivity and faster response time.
