Peter Kinnart
Thank you, operator. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody to this quarterly earnings call for the Atlas Copco Group. I'm happy to be here together with Mats Rahmstrom to comment on the results of the quarter, and also to give you some guidance on the upcoming quarter.
Before I hand over to Mats, I would like already now like to point out as usual that after this presentation, we will have the Q&A session, and I would like to ask all of the participants to only raise one question at a time in order to make sure that all participants have the opportunity to at least raise one question. Should there be more time after the first question has been raised, we will be happy to come back to you for a second follow-up question.
And with that, I hand over to Mats for the start of the earnings call.

So this is a variable speed compressors and up to 35% savings -- cost savings in energy. And in this case also, we take the excess heat from the compressor, process and use that for the integrated driver as well, which also helps them to save on energy, up to 60%. And this is a typical machine that we sell for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronics, semiconductor, textile and paper, for example. So when we talk about large industrial, this is what it could look like. And the sales pitch for our teams around the world is not that difficult. Energy efficiency comes from VSD so it's a cost leadership. And of course, they are also a good pitch for sustainability. It's reliability and uptime, and of course, with connected services, we will also give them more uptime on their machines. So this is one of the successes that I have on compressor side....
