EU Support for International Presentation of FIRSTGREEN Industries

Supporting global expansion through international trade fairs and customer engagement

FIRSTGREEN Industries has received financial support from the European Union to support the international presentation of its products. The main objective of this project is to strengthen the company's presence in foreign markets through participation in key international trade fairs.

As part of this support, the company participated in major exhibitions in Europe and the United States during 2025 and 2026, including Bauma, World AG Expo, ARA Show, and CONEXPO. These activities contributed to building new business relationships, increasing brand visibility, and sharing practical experience with electric machinery in real applications.

Digitalization of Production and Operational Processes at FIRSTGREEN Industries

Together with CTU in Prague, We Are Developing an Autonomous Electric Skid-Steer Machine for Underground Construction, Capable of Navigating Without GPS

FIRSTGREEN Industries is participating in the development of an autonomous electric skid-steer loader for the mining and construction industries. The project is co-funded by the European Union and is being carried out in cooperation with the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU).

The objective of the project is to develop a machine capable of autonomous navigation in underground environments without the use of GPS. In such conditions, the combination of electric propulsion, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and extensive experience in the development of construction machinery can bring a significant breakthrough in safety, efficiency, and the way work will be performed in high-risk environments in the future.

The project builds on the long-term technological vision of FIRSTGREEN Industries. We develop fully electric machines that unlock new possibilities where conventional equipment reaches its limits. In underground construction, mining operations, and other demanding environments, performance alone is not enough. Operator safety, precise maneuverability, zero-emission operation, and the ability to work in areas where direct human presence poses a risk are equally important.

Development of Components, Optimization, and Assembly of a Prototype Electric Vehicle with a Skid-Steer Chassis and Autonomous "Follow Me" Function, Including Testing

This project was co-funded by the European Union. The project involved the assembly, optimization, and testing of a functional prototype of an autonomous electric vehicle equipped with a skid-steer chassis. The vehicle was designed to autonomously follow a designated user using the "Follow Me" function, eliminating the need for manual control. The project also included verification of the prototype's functionality and testing of its operational performance.
