An electric road roller, also known as a roller-compactor or simply a roller, is a compactor-style engineering machine used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt during the building of roadways and foundations.
Similar rollers are also employed in fields and at landfills. It is appropriate for narrow sites that big machines can’t reach. The expense of labour is significantly decreased.
The Global Electric Road Roller market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The first entirely electric road roller was introduced by BAM Infra. Although BAM Infra soon learned that there is no commercial product like that, a road roller seems like the ideal application for electrification (the construction equipment category is just starting to take off).
An obsolete diesel vehicle was chosen for conversion, and it is now living a second life. The first 10 to 12-tonne road roller that is entirely electric has been constructed and put into service by BAM Infra Nederland.
On the basis of an outdated model that needed to be updated, the plant and equipment division of BAM developed this distinctive and environmentally friendly piece of machinery.
Over the course of one and a half years, the change occurred. The emission-free road roller started working on its first job this week in the city of Almere. Soon, additional initiatives will come.
After eight hours of driving, it needs to be recharged for three to five hours (battery pack capacity was not disclosed). The diesel variant was using seven litres of fuel per hour, which sounds like a lot (on average, it was 73 litres per day).
Now, it ought to be more dependable, quieter, and most likely more economical, in addition to having no pollution, of course.
