Germany’s Deutz has bought Futavis GmbH, a maker of battery management systems, as part of a drive by the engine maker to expand its offering of electrified powertrain components, Chief Executive Frank Hiller told Reuters.

Deutz declined to comment on the purchase price for Futavis, which has around 30 employees and expects to generate revenue of around 5 million euros this year.
