All of the backhoes, excavators, dozers, graders, and other heavy machinery we use on construction sites may switch from diesel to all-electric power over the next 20 years.
Many construction companies are already aware that employing electric equipment instead of diesel-powered equipment may be more cost-effective.
Government laws that are more stringent regarding emissions and noise pollution are encouraging the use of electric construction equipment.
Construction companies, rental businesses, and their customers are also asking for emissions-free construction equipment, according to equipment makers, in order to boost their reputations as “green” businesses.
The UK Electric Construction Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
According to information released by Case Construction Equipment, a battery-operated mini-excavator will be introduced in Europe in 2019. The Case CX15 EV is a 1.3-ton, 16 kW electric-powered compact excavator.
The on-board 110V/220V charger or an external rapid charger can both recharge the 21.5 kWh lithium-ion battery in less than 90 minutes.
The CX15 EV has the capacity to last an entire eight-hour workday, depending on the type of work. Machine width can be reduced to 790mm by retractable tracks so that it can fit through doors and operate in small areas. The UK should soon have access to it.
The heavy-duty electric 66 will be developed by EV startup Emotive in Devon, UK, in response to the rising demand for electricity in the country’s fire rescue, farm, forestry, and adventure tourism businesses.
The EMotive 66 concept, known as the Scarab, is based on a “state-of-the-art” powertrain that utilises a special, “smart power delivery system” to electrically adjust torque to each of the vehicle’s six wheels.
