Claire Cessford in Machinery & Mechanics

Husqvarna, a global leader in outdoor power products, is proud to present two revolutionary additions to its lineup: Husqvarna 564 XP, the world’s first Husqvarna chainsaw with fuel injection, and Husqvarna 550i XP, a powerful new battery chainsaw that redefines industry standards.

“At Husqvarna we are committed to driving innovation that empowers professionals to work smarter, safer and more efficiently. The announcement of Husqvarna 564 XP and 550i XP represents a major leap forward in chainsaw technology,” said Gent Simmons, Senior VP of Product Development at Husqvarna.

These cutting-edge tools are designed to elevate performance, efficiency, manoeuvrability and user comfort, setting a new benchmark for forestry and tree care professionals.

Husqvarna 564 XP – Engineered for optimal power-to-weight performance

Husqvarna 564 XP is a game-changer in the 60cc class, delivering power of a 70cc chainsaw in the size of a 50cc. Thanks to its fuel injection system and new engine layout, professionals can benefit from increased productivity through instant acceleration and effortless handling across a range of tasks.

“Husqvarna 564 XP will be an instant favourite among tree professionals,” says Gabriele Dovier, tree care professional and H-team ambassador. “It’s incredibly compact, yet powerful, with a power-to-weight ratio that make an impression. Add in the smooth starting procedure and low vibrations, and you’ve got a saw that professionals will trust for long workdays.”

Husqvarna 550i XP – The next giant leap in battery power

Husqvarna continues to push the boundaries of battery technology with the 550i XP, a high-performance chainsaw capable of delivering 3.0 kW of power or more—comparable to Husqvarna´s 50cc petrol-driven models. Designed to accommodate a 13”-20” bar.

Husqvarna 550i XP is a saw with two characteristics, adjustable by simply switching the battery. Choose between amazing power output that surpasses that of a 50cc petrol chainsaw with the B540X battery, or a light, truly agile, smooth machine with B330X battery. This is innovation at its best, designed for you to feel on top of the day’s tasks – no matter what they might be.

“Husqvarna has taken battery chainsaws to the next level,” says Douglas Wells, tree care professional and H-team ambassador. “The 550i XP gives us the power of petrol with the convenience of battery—without compromising performance. It’s efficient with an instant response and built for serious work.”

Designed for all-weather performance, both 564 XP and 550i XP comes in versions also available with heated handles (564 XP G and 550i XP G), keeping users comfortable even in cold conditions.

With these two new additions, Husqvarna strengthens its commitment to innovation, offering professionals tools that maximize productivity, reduce strain, and enhance the cutting experience.
