Pathway to Clean Energy Construction Equipment

Fast-moving technological advancements in the zero-emission on-road vehicle sector are resulting in significant progress in the challenging space of off-road equipment electrification. There are also signs of real progress in the electrification of off-road machinery, including light forklifts, airport ground support vehicles, and yard trucks.Although zero-emission technology for many lighter vehicles is now relatively mature, obstacles to the electrification of heavier vehicles still exist in the form of market barriers, technological challenges, and end-user attitudes. But the game is on, and electrification technology is gaining a firm foothold in heavier-duty scenarios such as construction, mining, and agriculture.Penetration is slow, but the potential is huge The construction equipment market can be divided into seven main categories: mini excavators, small excavators,…
