The production of all-electric versions of conventional construction vehicles is being undertaken by heavy machinery manufacturers as part of efforts to make construction more environmentally friendly.
In recent years, there has been an increased push for more environmentally friendly building methods, and now electric heavy gear is entering the ranks of electric automobiles and public transit as an eco-friendly substitute.
Electric construction machinery is not a novel idea. All-electric versions of excavators, loaders, forklifts, and other heavy machinery are presently available to rent or buy all over the world. Hybrid electric machines have been around for a while.
All-electric machinery has performance capabilities that are practically comparable to those of diesel machinery. The only variations are a slight rise in operational weight and a slight boost in continuous motor power for their electric machinery.
The India Electric Construction Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
At Excon in Bengaluru, JCB India, the nation’s top producer of earthmoving and construction machinery, unveiled the JCB 19C-1E, the sector’s first completely electric excavator.
Along with JCB’s G125 NG natural gas generator, a 4-ton telescopic hander, an AJ48 D articulated boom lift, and two new mini excavators for smart infrastructure—the 35Z HD and the 37C HD—were also unveiled.
The four lithium-ion batteries in the zero-emission JCB 19C-1E let it run continuously for an entire day on a single charge. The 2GO system from JCB safely isolates all controls as a supplementary safety system with a strong emphasis on safety and productivity.
Power is redistributed automatically during kick-up and idle periods to prolong battery life. The device was released following extensive testing and validation.
The two little excavators, the 35Z HD and 37C HD, have a sturdy construction and are simple to maneuver because of their small size. The business has introduced a tiny, natural gas genset that is made to operate in harsh settings. It greatly lowers CO2 emissions and reduces carbon footprint by up to 6 tonnes annually.
