We develop the innovations of tomorrow
What will the STIHL innovations of tomorrow be? We have an international development team at work on this, including more than 900 specialists in the state-of-the-art STIHL development centre at our German headquarters in Waiblingen. Our technological solutions involve intelligent motorised power tools that tell their users when they need maintenance, for example.
We have developed apps that let forestry workers know which tree should be harvested and also determine the quality of its wood. We are working on battery technology that makes our garden tools and power tools even more powerful, lightweight and versatile. How about a robotic lawnmower that is networked with the building services and could, for example, communicate to the control system of the electric roof window that it is starting to rain? We remain true to our pioneering spirit in every case: We make it easier for people to work in and with nature, and inspire customers with powerful innovations and top-quality – whether for state-of-the-art forestry or smart gardening.
Battery technology
Powerful, quiet, locally emissions-free and low-maintenance: Good reasons for the continued further development of STIHL battery technology.
Petrol technology
With intelligent engine management and “green” fuels and lubricants, STIHL makes petrol technology more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly.
Alternative fuels
STIHL is constantly working to reduce the direct and indirect carbon emissions of its products by means of synthetic alternative fuels such as MotoMix Eco and e-fuels, for example.
Robotics
Work couldn’t get easier than this: How STIHL uses robotics to automatically handle work in the garden and in nature.
Digital solutions
Connected and smart: The goal of our digital solutions is to network STIHL power tools and make working in nature smarter by means of digital services and apps.
Milestones in STIHL innovations
How can STIHL power tools become more productive, more comfortable to use, safer and more environmentally friendly?
These questions have been driving us, for decades, to continuously develop “made by STIHL” cutting-edge technology. Our innovative strength shines through in many ways, and not least by means of around 2,800 patents and patent applications. Our milestones illustrate how STIHL innovations make us trailblazers for the entire industry – for more than 95 years so far, and still going strong.
