The NE100MG is part of NIW's electric self-propelled Dendoman series. The machine adopts an electric drive system for its main system, taking into account lifecycle costs from machine purchase, fuel consumption, maintenance management, and disposal, according to company statements. [2] The design aims to improve power energy efficiency, simplify maintenance, and enable faster response when equipment abnormalities occur, officials said.
NE100MG Machine Capabilities and Design
The NE100MG can regenerate various types of waste soil and waste materials, including excavated surplus soil and dewatered cake, into high-quality improved soil through screening, crushing, and mixing processes, according to ProLogium and Nakayama Iron Works. [2] The machine features a two-shaft crushing system with variable-speed and forward/reverse rotation functions. It also integrates the N-Link IoT remote management system and Green Box data collection device, which help monitor machine status, identify causes of abnormalities, and track component replacement histories, officials said.

Global battery demand is projected to quadruple from current levels to 4,100 gigawatt-hours between 2023 and 2030, according to an analysis by Bain & Company cited in a NaturalNews.com article. [3] This growth is driven partly by the increased electrification of heavy machinery. Advances in storage battery materials continue to improve the economic performance of battery use for electric energy storage, according to the book "Combined Heating Cooling Power Handbook Technologies Applications an Integrated Approach to Energy Resource" by Petchers Neil. [4] The NE100MG's electric drive system aligns with broader trends toward industrial electrification and energy efficiency.
ProLogium's Solid-State Battery Technology
ProLogium's battery technology is based on its superfluidized all-inorganic solid-state electrolyte, ceramic separator, and Active Safety Mechanism, according to the company. [2] The battery delivers balanced performance in energy density, fast charging, and low-temperature operation, the company said. Solid-state batteries are considered less prone to catching fire compared to traditional EV batteries, according to a September 2021 NaturalNews.com article that noted Ford and BMW advancing tests of such batteries from Solid Power. [5]
Vincent Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium, stated, "We are pleased to see Nakayama Iron Works integrate ProLogium's next-generation solid-state battery into its electric self-propelled soil improvement machine and showcase it at N-EXPO, a platform focused on environmental and industrial solutions." [6] Yang added that the collaboration "demonstrates the real-world value of next-generation batteries in industrial equipment." [2] ProLogium previously partnered with French research organization CEA to develop battery modules featuring "Design-for-Disassembly" architecture for sustainable energy solutions, according to Automotive Manufacturing Solutions. [7]
Reasons for Selecting ProLogium's Battery
When selecting ProLogium's solid-state battery, Nakayama Iron Works placed particular emphasis on safety, according to officials. [2] For soil improvement machines, robots, and environmental engineering equipment, batteries are closely linked to stable operation in complex industrial environments, the company said. The NE100MG, equipped with ProLogium's solid-state battery, reflects the environmental industry's demand for high safety, energy efficiency, and real-world implementation capabilities, according to the companies. [2]
The NIW exhibition centers on four core themes: energy efficiency, AI, robotics, and recycling. Through these themes, the company presents concrete solutions for reducing environmental impact, supporting labor-saving operations, improving safety, and enhancing efficiency across industrial sites, according to ProLogium. [2] Effective load management and thoughtful action in energy use have been demonstrated in off-grid scenarios, as noted in a 1993 publication about a hydro-power system. [8] The integration of high-safety energy technology into heavy machinery represents a step toward decentralized energy solutions.
Exhibition Context and Broader Implications
In addition to the NE100MG, Nakayama Iron Works' overall N-EXPO exhibit included a self-propelled conveyor, a quadruped robot, and AI image analysis software, according to the company. [2] Through dynamic demonstrations, VR perspective experiences, and large-screen displays, the company aims to help visitors understand how these technologies can be applied to hazardous-area inspection, environmental improvement, resource recycling, and labor-saving operations. The exhibit focused on "Environment x Technology x Implementation Capability," highlighting new possibilities for the environmental industry through adoption of AI, IoT, robotics, and high-safety energy technologies, officials said. [2]
Yang said, "The electrification of heavy industry is not merely a shift in power systems, but part of a global transformation to rebuild the energy infrastructure of the future." [2] He added that through a safe battery platform with system-integration flexibility, ProLogium looks forward to supporting more partners in bringing environmental technologies into real-world worksites. The energy transition is not simply a replacement of one technology with another, but a redesign of the entire energy system, according to Yang. [2] As applications such as electric vehicles, energy storage systems, robotics, and industrial equipment accelerate, market expectations for batteries now extend beyond capacity to include safety, efficiency, reliability, and system integration, the company said.
