Battery Technologies for the Future of Off-Highway Machines

The off-highway markets of construction, agriculture, and mining are beginning to see accelerating development of electric machines, fuelled by the environmental, financial, and operational benefits they can provide. As machines transition away from diesel, their unique and wide-ranging operational demands place entirely different requirements on the battery technologies that can be used compared to automotive or on-road heavy-duty vehicles.

 

Not only will off-highway batteries vary widely in capacity, but each machine's duty cycle will impact design in terms of voltage, density, cycle life, charging, and cost. Ultimately, understanding the needs of machines will be critical to matching them with the right battery technology.

 

IDTechEx's new report "Batteries for Construction, Agriculture & Mining Machines 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, Forecasts" dives deep into machine technologies, battery technologies, and the wider market, detailing how battery demand is set to grow to 45 GWh by 2036.

 

This webinar will draw on research from the IDTechEx report, with key topics covered including:

 

· Off-highway markets & drivers for electrification

 

· Understanding the demands of electric machines

 

· Battery market activity for the off-highway industry

 

· The role of emerging battery technologies for future machines

 

· IDTechEx's outlook on the global off-highway battery market
