Three Reasons Why Electric Beats Diesel for Mini Excavators
Like many industries, the construction vehicle and machine industry is on the path to electrification. It has been one of the latecomers to the electrification game, with little happening from OEMs until after 2020. But this is changing, with more electric product announcements covering a wider selection of vehicle types under the construction banner.24 May 2023
Why Construction OEMs Start Electrification With Mini Excavators
This premium article looks at the main drivers for electrifying mini excavators and demonstrates through data analysis how mini excavators can have equal or even superior performance to their diesel counterparts. The article explains how fuel and maintenance savings could provide a return on investment if the premium for the electric vehicle is correct. Finally electric mini-excavator case studies from Volvo, JCB and XCMG are presented.24 Feb 2023

Electric Construction Machines Vital for Greener Construction
Construction machines are estimated to generate around 400 Mt of CO2 emission per year, which is around 1.1% of global CO2 emission. Decarbonization of non-road mobile machines will therefore be an important factor in efforts to limit global climate change. With an increasing number of countries around the world committing to a net-zero carbon future, the construction industry is facing growing scrutiny of its' greenhouse gas emissions.2021
