New Holland Construction released its first battery-powered mini excavator, the E15X, all the way back in 2023 – but enough of you called CNH to tell them your loads were just too big for the E15X. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck! New Holland is expanding its EV equipment lineup with the new, 2.5 ton E25X electric excavator.
The first of the new New Holland E25X excavators are allegedly on their way to customers now, and enable contractors to take on bigger jobs than the smaller E15X while offering the same sort of all-electric flexibility for a contractor, with the same low noise and reduced maintenance that’s made the E15X ideal for residential, urban, and indoor projects that have strict noise and pollution rules (think hospitals, schools, museums).
New Holland has actually baked in a number of features to assist those specific use-cases, such as hydraulically-retracting tracks that can shrink down to 3 feet 3 inches wide to fit through tight man doors and an ultra-compact tail swing overhang of just 18 inches.
“These solutions eliminate obstacles related to emissions and noise that contractors often face, enabling them to take on a broader range of projects,” explains Jake Sickels, product marketing manager for New Holland Construction North America. “What excites us most is the ability to reach customers we haven’t traditionally served, especially those operating in highly regulated environments. Now, we can bring them into the New Holland Construction family with machines, technology and a dealer network that meets their unique operation goals without sacrificing capability or performance.”
The nitty gritty
The E25X gives landscapers and construction crews a max dig depth of 8 feet, a standard dump height of 8′ 8 inches, and a long-arm option available for just a bit more reach. Another optional Object Handling Kit provides a lift hook on the bucket linkage for raising heavy suspended loads.
It takes about five hours to manage a 20% to 80% charge on an onboard 240-volt Level 2 charging system, which should be good for 4-8 hours of continuous runtime from the machine’s 32.2 kWh battery pack. The E25X also ships standard with a seven-year telematics subscription through myNewHollandConstruction, which provides fleets detailed access to machine utilization metrics including hours worked, productivity, and overall job site cost data.
