Hybrid technology has become widespread in our lives as a result of social and environmental changes.A hybrid machine is one that moves by using two or more different power sources.
The idea of hybrid technology is to absorb and reuse lost energy for beneficial reasons.
New hybrid construction equipment designs claim to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Excavators and wheel loaders are leading the way in this hybrid evolution.
The Global Hybrid Excavators Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has introduced three new hybrid excavators that offer a further fuel efficiency boost of up to 17% over conventional machines, based on an all-new base machine that improves fuel economy over the model it replaces.
The new range includes an improved 30-ton class EC300E Hybrid excavator, as well as the technology being introduced in two new machines: the 25-ton class EC250E Hybrid and the 35-ton class EC350E Hybrid.
All three machines employ Volvo’s innovative hydraulic-hybrid technology, which harvests ‘free’ energy generated by the excavator’s boom’s down action.
Caterpillar has revealed the Cat336E H, the first model in its new range of hybrid excavators.
Because the 336E H uses less fuel and emits fewer regulated pollutants, its ownership and running expenses will be significantly lower than the regular machine, as will its carbon footprint.
Fuel costs and applications determine when customers will return their initial investment in a 336E H.
For the first time in Europe, the new Hitachi hybrid hydraulic excavator ZH210-6 has been introduced.
The new hybrid excavator has the lowest fuel usage of any Hitachi medium hydraulic excavator, and it’s also designed to cut CO2 emissions and operating expenses even more.
It does this by combining proven technology, an upgraded hydraulic system, and a new lightweight arm, all while maintaining Hitachi’s high levels of performance and ease of operation in the construction industry.
Different-sized hybrid excavators were launched by Komatsu. The third-generation HB215LC-2, which is being displayed this week, was successfully launched last year and will be followed by the new variants.
There are plans to apply the hybrid concept to excavators of different sizes. This process of development is still in progress.
More than 3,200 hybrid excavators from its three versions are in use today, including more than 200 in Europe. Komatsu claims that the HB215LC-2 is a result of its unique technology.
As a result, a large amount of fuel can be saved, and the carbon footprint of an excavator is reduced.
The company’s components capture free kinetic energy from the machine’s swinging and breaking and convert it to electricity.
The Komatsu HB215LC-2, which has an operating weight of 22 to 23 tonnes, has reduced fuel consumption by 5% compared to its predecessor, the HB215LC-1, by 30% compared to Komatsu’s PC210LC-8 hydraulic excavator, and by 20% compared to the PC210LC-10 hydraulic excavator.
The CEO of KEISA stated that the environmental advantages of hybrid machines outweighed the influence of fluctuating oil prices in regards to the possibility that continuous low oil prices will lessen the necessity for hybrid construction equipment in the future.
On its exhibit stand, Komatsu was showcasing its intelligent machine control on a PC210LCi-10 excavator and a new D65PXi-18 crawler dozer that was making its European premiere at INTERMAT.
With the TB216H small excavator, Takeuchi-US launched the industry’s first hybrid dual-powered excavator. With its own pump group to operate the machine’s hydraulics, the TB216H has a diesel engine and an electric motor.
The operator’s versatility is increased by the dual-power feature’s ability to function both indoors and outdoors. Regardless of the power source the operator chooses, the machine performs consistently.
A Yanmar Tier 4 Final engine with a 14.9 hp output powers the device when it is operating in diesel mode. The machine’s 14.2-hp electric motor is suitable for environments without pollutants.
A 400- to 480-volt three-phase power supply can be utilised to connect the machine to for 100% emission-free operation after the diesel engine is used for regular day-to-day operations such as loading, unloading, and powering the machine at a closed jobsite.
The machine will automatically shut off the diesel engine if it is powered by electricity while the diesel engine is operating if it is, and once the key has been turned, it will start to run on electricity.
No matter whatever powering method is used for the machine, the ignition, throttle, joysticks, and travel functions are all the same.
A maximum bucket breakout force of 4,250 pounds and an arm crowd force of 1,843 pounds are combined to provide an operating weight of 4,277 pounds.
