Cleaner, quieter, safer.
At EGO, we have seen the future.At EGO, we have seen the future.
Challenge 2025 is our call to arms to educate and empower change in both domestic and professional outdoor power equipment users to make battery the principal power source and leave petrol where it belongs, in the past.
We believe that it makes no sense for tools that are designed to improve our environment to be at the same time producing noxious emissions and noise pollution that damage the very environment they are trying to enhance.
The time has come to take up the challenge and insist on change.
The good news is the battery technology to match the power of petrol already exists today!
The Report
We commissioned emissions and fuel economy tests, surveyed domestic and professional power tool users and submitted Freedom of Information Requests to deliver our report on the full environmental impact of petrol-powered tools.
Emissions Calculator
Find out your environmental impact based on the petrol gardening tools you use, using our emissions calculator.
Education Pack
Perfect for teachers and parents, the Challenge 2025 Education Pack allows children to understand the importance of good air quality.

Making the switch to battery-powered gardening tools has never been easier.
Without losing any of the quality of your petrol-powered tools, you are able to make a change that reduces air pollution, reduces noise pollution, and reduces vibration levels.
Not only does this make a difference to the environment, but you`re also making a direct impact on the health of the user.
Switching to battery power makes a life-changing impact on everyone. It`s a no-brainer.

Did you know there is 11x more Carbon Dioxide emitted through a petrol-powered leaf blower than a Ford Fiesta? 🚗
With that being said, do you know the impact that your tools have on the environment?
If you don`t, it is really important that you know. You can figure this out by using our Emissions Calculator by clicking the link in the bio.

The @edenprojects has produced, planted, and protected over 977 million trees and we`re so happy to have played our part.
For every @egopowerpluseu tool sold in Europe, we plant a tree in partnership with Eden Reforestation and we`re happy to be making a difference.
So, by choosing a battery-powered tool you`re not only reducing the amount of carbon emitted, you`re reducing it by planting a tree.
Make the switch to battery-powered gardening tools today.

Some petrol-powered tools are 3x noisier than battery-powered alternatives!
What impact does this have on the user? With prolonged exposure to noise, there could be serious health implications for the user with a big risk of partial and full hearing loss.
By switching to battery-powered gardening tools, you can use these for 12.5 hours before reaching harmful exposure limits, whilst you can only use petrol-powered tools for 5 hours.

How satisfying is this? 😍
By switching to battery power, you don’t need to worry about the quality or power of the tools. The only thing you need to worry is about the environmental impact of your petrol-powered tools.
Make the switch today.

Challenge 2025 is our call to arms to educate and empower both domestic and professional outdoor power equipment users to see the only logical choice when purchasing new gardening equipment, and that is battery power.
It is time to leave petrol, where it belongs, in the past.

By planting a tree, you are combating the effects of greenhouse gases as the average tree can store up to 13 pounds of carbon.
That`s why @Egopowerpluseu has partnered with the @Edenprojects and pledged to plant a tree for every tool sold in Europe and in addition, each tool that is registered for extended warranty.

Battery-powered gardening tools have fewer moving parts than petrol-powered tools. That means there are fewer vibrations produced in battery-powered tools, so you`re able to use the tool comfortably for longer.
In addition, the vibrations from petrol-powered can cause numbness and muscle weakness that can lead to conditions, including Vibration White Finger (VWF) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

As professional gardeners, you`ll know that if you`re using petrol-powered tools, you`ll go through a lot of petrol. But, do you know just how much?
As part of our research, we discovered that the average petrol-powered tool user uses enough fuel to drive the equivalent of just under 2,000 miles in a car! This is further than driving from Land`s End to John O`Groats - twice! 🚗

Last year we interviewed the local community to understand their views on Birmingham`s Clean Air Zone.
If you didn`t know, Birmingham City Council introduced the Clean Air Zone in the centre of the city last year to improve air quality by discouraging the most polluting vehicles from entering the zone.
Watch our video to discover what the local community thinks about this decision or, to learn how you can improve air quality by switching to battery-powered gardening tools, visit the #linkinbio

Today is World Day for Safety & Health at Work, so we`d like to highlight the impact of regularly using petrol-powered gardening tools.
Battery-powered tools are a cleaner, quieter, and safer alternative to their petrol-powered counterparts and, by reducing the amount of noise pollution you`re emitting, you`re creating a nicer environment for wildlife, reduced disruption for the community, and better long-term health for the users.
