Scottish engineering and powertrain experts Danfoss have developed a new digital hydraulic system designed specifically for electric construction equipment that can reduce energy consumption from the machine’s battery by 35%, and improve runtime by more than 50%. (!) more…
The push for electrification in heavy industries like construction is accelerating, driving innovation in component technologies like hydraulics to meet efficiency demands.
Improved efficiency in electric heavy equipment reduces operational costs, extends utility, and lowers the barrier to adoption for electrified construction and industrial machinery.
Electric heavy equipment can now operate for significantly longer periods on a single charge while consuming less energy, making these machines more competitive with their fossil fuel counterparts.
- · Danfoss
- · Electric heavy equipment manufacturers
- · Construction companies adopting electrified fleets
- · Battery technology providers
- · Manufacturers of traditional hydraulic systems for ICE heavy equipment
- · Fossil fuel suppliers for construction machinery
This technology directly increases the operational viability and attractiveness of electric construction equipment.
Wider adoption of electric heavy equipment could drive down overall manufacturing costs and accelerate infrastructure development for charging.
Increased electrification of heavy machinery contributes to broader decarbonization efforts in industrial sectors and could influence regulatory shifts towards electric mandates.
