Electric construction equipment produces zero carbon emissions and supports green building techniques because it doesn’t need gasoline or diesel fuel.
Lithium-ion batteries are the power source for all-electric machinery, which virtually eliminates the need for fossil fuels. For businesses operating in emission-restricted regions where the use of diesel-powered equipment is prohibited, these battery-powered devices are a must.
Lower maintenance expenses are another benefit of using electric construction equipment. Electric machines usually have a lot fewer parts than diesel counterparts, and lithium-ion batteries and electric motors are almost maintenance-free.
As a result, less time is needed for maintenance overall and it costs less to replace individual pieces.
The South Korea Electric Construction Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The 2.5-ton battery-powered compact excavator is the first electric equipment from a major manufacturer to enter the Asian market. It will first be introduced in Korea, with future rollouts in China, Japan, and Singapore being planned.
Stronger pollution restrictions, financial incentives from the government, and a pressing need to construct more sustainably have all contributed to an increase in the demand for electric equipment throughout the region.
Due to its ability to match power and performance with zero emissions, nearly silent operation, and a significantly more pleasant working environment for operators, the Volvo ECR25 Electric excavator has already proven to be a success in Europe and North America since it was introduced.
Due to its swift acceptance of cutting-edge working practices and new technology, as well as its quick reaction to developing an infrastructure for electric charging, Korea was chosen as the first market for Asia.
The next-generation electric forklift, the B-X Series, is being introduced by Hyundai Construction Equipment. With B-X, a next-generation, high-performance electric forklift, Hyundai Construction Equipment will actively pursue the eco-friendly logistics industry.
The most popular indoor workplace product, the 2.5-ton electric forklift, is anticipated to be the company’s key product, together with the first medium-sized hydrogen forklift it created in Korea, to dominate the green logistics sector.
By utilizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for the first time in the B-X series, Hyundai Construction Equipment is dedicated to set norms for small electric forklift markets, where cost-effectiveness is vital.
LFP batteries are better suited for the logistics sector’s lengthy running hours and huge volume of items since they charge more quickly and provide more power than lead-acid batteries, which are often used in conventional electric forklifts.
Hyundai Construction Equipment has increased driving convenience for this series. In order to provide an interior structure that can sustain continuous operation, the ergonomics of the driver’s seat design and the air-conditioning and heating features were enhanced.
Additionally, it enables side battery extraction, which improves maintenance simplicity. Traditional electric forklifts required cranes to remove batteries, but the B-X Series enables safer and easier removal of batteries from the side using forklifts or hand pallets.
