Executive Summary
In the global push for “Net Zero” construction, Foxtheon has demonstrated a breakthrough in operational efficiency. In a major industrial project in Beijing, two Foxtheon HP1000 HybridPacks successfully replaced four 500kVA traditional diesel generators. By integrating advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with existing power sources, the project achieved a 43% fuel reduction, saving the client over $16,000 USD per month while solving the issue of high-surge loads in an off-grid environment.
The Challenge: The “Oversizing Trap” in Piling Operations
Foundation construction relies on heavy machinery like CFG piling rigs and concrete pumps (typically 135kVA+ each). Traditional power setups face two major inefficiencies:
- The Inrush Current Peak: Heavy motors require a massive startup current (surge). To prevent tripping, contractors are forced to rent oversized 500kVA+ generators that run at low, inefficient loads 80% of the time.
- Fuel Inefficiency & Carbon Penalties: Running a 500kVA unit at 20% load causes “wet stacking” and excessive fuel consumption
The Solution: “Doing More with Less” via Foxtheon HP1000
To power eight 110kW heavy-duty machines simultaneously, Foxtheon implemented a streamlined hybrid configuration:
- Core Equipment: 2 x Foxtheon HP1000 HybridPack units (Integrated Battery Energy Storage + Diesel Engine).
- Load Management: Each HP1000 unit independently powered two 110kW CFG rigs and two 110kW concrete pumps, handling a peak load of 440kW.
- The Technology (FoxMind™ EMS): Utilizing the proprietary FoxMind™ Energy Management System, the HP1000 uses high-discharge lithium batteries to “shave” peak loads. This allows the internal engine to remain in its 50%-80% “Sweet Spot” efficiency range, even when the external load fluctuates.

Client Testimonial
“The efficiency is remarkable. We were able to halve our equipment footprint while achieving much more stable power. Seeing a 43% drop in fuel costs changes the math for our future project bids.” — Site Manager, Zhongyan Construction (Beijing)
Global Cost-Benefit Analysis: The Leverage of High Fuel Prices
While this project achieved significant savings at local fuel rates, the economic impact is even more dramatic in regions with high diesel prices (e.g., Europe, UK, or Australia). The following table illustrates how the 43% fuel saving ratetranslates into massive OPEX reductions globally.
| Region | Est. Diesel Price (per Liter) | Conventional Daily Cost (2,000L) | Foxtheon Daily Cost (1,148L) | Daily Savings (USD) | Annualized Savings |
| Mainland China | ~$1.05 | $2,100 | $1,205 | $895 | ~$326,000 |
| USA | ~$0.93 – $1.10 | $2,000 | $1,148 | $852 | ~$311,000 |
| Europe / UK | ~$1.60 – $1.90 | $3,500 | $2,009 | $1,491 | ~$544,000 |
| Remote Mining | ~$2.20+ | $4,400 | $2,525 | $1,875 | ~$684,000 |
Note: Calculation is based on 43% fuel reduction across 365 days of operation. In high-cost regions, the ROI (Return on Investment) for a Foxtheon HP1000 system is typically achieved in less than 8 months.
Technical Deep Dive: Genset Power Amplification
The core innovation of the Foxtheon system is its ability to “amplify” the effective output of a smaller generator. By using the FoxMind™ EMS, the EnergyPack acts as a high-speed buffer that discharges energy during peak demand.
Comparison: Standalone Genset vs. Foxtheon Hybrid Solution
| Configuration | Base Capacity | Peak Surge Capacity (Output) | Fuel Efficiency Range | Use Case |
| Traditional A | 250kVA Diesel | 250kVA (High risk of trip) | 30% – 100% (Unstable) | Light loads only |
| Traditional B | 500kVA Diesel | 500kVA | 15% – 40% (Low Efficiency) | Oversized for surges |
| Foxtheon Hybrid | 250kVA + P300 | 600kVA+ (Double Power) | 60% – 85% (Sweet Spot) | Heavy Piling & Pumps |
The Result: The HP1000 allows a 250kVA generator to perform the work of a 500kVA unit, ensuring the engine stays in its most fuel-efficient “sweet spot” while doubling its peak capacity.
The “Foxtheon Hybrid Matrix”: Tailored for Every Project Stage
Our technology isn’t just a single product; it’s a modular ecosystem. Foxtheon’s EnergyPack (P-Series) units can be paired with any existing diesel generator to transform it into a high-performance hybrid system.
1. Heavy Foundation Stage (The “Piling” Combo)
- Setup: Genset + EnergyPack P500
- The Logic: The P500 acts as an “Energy Reservoir.” It absorbs the massive surge from piling rigs, allowing a smaller generator to handle a load that would normally require a unit twice its size.（Learn more)
2. Main Structure Stage (The “Crane & Hoist” Combo)
- Setup: Genset + EnergyPack P300 / P150.
- The Logic: Tower cranes have long idle times but high “inrush” demands. The EnergyPack provides the “kick” for the hoist, while the generator remains off or at idle, significantly reducing engine hours.
3. Fit-out & Night-Shift (The “Silent” Combo)
- Setup: Genset +EnergyPack P150 + Solar Arrays.
- The Logic: Switch off the generators entirely at night. Power site security, lighting, and offices via silent battery/solar power.

FAQ: Why Hybrid is the Future of Construction Power
Q1: Why is hybrid better than just renting a bigger diesel generator?
Traditional generators must be oversized to handle peak motor startups (inrush current), leading them to run inefficiently at low loads most of the time. Foxtheon systems use batteries to handle the peaks, allowing the engine to stay in its “efficiency sweet spot”.
Q2: How does the system handle extreme weather conditions?
Our units are ruggedized for construction environments. The FoxMind™ EMS includes thermal management for batteries, ensuring stable performance in both winter piling (as seen in the Beijing project) and high-heat desert operations.
Q3: Can we integrate solar panels into this setup?
Yes. All HybridPack and EnergyPack units are “Solar-Ready”. Adding solar can push fuel savings from 43% to over 80% in high-sunlight regions by charging the batteries during the day.
Q4: Is the maintenance complex?
Actually, it’s easier. By reducing engine runtime by up to 50%, you double the interval between oil changes and engine overhauls, significantly lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
