First Green Industries a.s.

First Green Industries is the world’s first manufacturer of electric, zero-emission skid steer loaders. Our loaders are available in unique sizes, with adaptable attachments and near-silent operation for construction, demolition, mining, defense, agriculture and more. 

As the off-road electric equipment market is forecasted to grow to $42.4 billion by 2030, FIRSTGREEN offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to diesel-powered machines. FIRSTGREEN also manufactures the MiniZ, the first zero-emission mini track loader that fits through a standard doorway. 

FIRSTGREEN Industries is based in Prague, Czech Republic, with North American headquarters in Albany, New York and service center in Bakersfield, California. Going beyond these territories FGI is present through its dealership network in 49 countries with the effort to grow in more markets. 

The key value drivers of FGI equipment are:

Most advanced SSL technology

1. FGI has the most advanced electric skid steer technology on the market as it draws data from live use cases worldwide and reflects on them in continuous machine improvement
2. This leads to substantial reduction of either service costs or idle times during warranty repairs

Modularity and longevity

• FGI machines are modular and hence eligible for upgrade (both HW and SW), which substantially prolongs their longevity and hence improves ROI

No ventilation costs

• FGI loaders can work underground (e.g., tunnels) or in interiors (buildings, ships, pipes/sewers etc.) without any necessity for ventilation
• Hence, no ventilation costs have to be spent

Low to zero training costs

• FGI machines have a very versatile gearing which is adjustable to any operator skills
• This substantially decreases costs on training and prevents loses from inefficient driving

Health and safety resulting into lower employee costs

• In some countries (including on African continent) we see increasing collective court cases where employees sue their employers for damages suffered from exposure to emissions, noise and vibration
• Mining and construction companies create reserve funds to finance their defense
• FGI equipment does not expose the operator to any such risk and hence protects the employer from these types of claims
• In some countries the use of electric equipment may lead to decreased insurance costs for the employers as well
