Electric Construction Equipment

As more and more job sites make moves to electrify their heavy equipment assets, there have been more and more questions from those on the outside looking in about how and where those big machines get charged up – which is why I absolutely love this picture of an electric wheel loader charging up at Circle K!

British equipment experts JCB have developed a fully electric articulated boom lift that delivers the reach, maneuverability, and all-day productivity contractors expect, but without the emissions, noise, or fuel bills of diesel. Meet the A45E Articulated Boom Access Platform.

Hitachci Construction Machinery NV is expanding its lineup of quiet, zero-emissions construction equipment offerings with a new, 13 ton battery electric excavator that can run 24/7 – and it’s just in time to wow the crowds at next month’s CONEXPO in Las Vegas!

The construction experts at DEWALT have launched what they’re calling the world’s first downward drilling, fleet-capable robot – a machine they say will enable more efficient concrete drilling to help accelerate data center construction.

The groundbreaking EC230 Electric excavator has spent the last few years proving its worth on job sites around the world – now, Volvo is making it easier than ever to help it prove itself on your job site with an aggressive 0% financing deal.

Volvo CE is getting into the spirit of the holidays with the donation of a band-new, $100,000 Volvo ECR25 Electric mini excavator to the Westfield Technical Academy’s horticulture department in Massachusetts.

Develon is kicking off the holidays with seven new or updated electric excavators, led by its seriously impressive flagship offering: the new 25‑ton DX250LCE-7 battery-electric crawler excavator developed by HD Hyundai.

When a 40-foot container rolled up to my property and the doors swung open, I finally got to meet a machine I’d only last seen half-finished on a factory floor in China. Sitting up front, nose practically pressed against the container doors, was my new 10,000-plus-pound (4,700 kg) electric tractor: the NESHER L3000 wheel loader.

New Holland’s already excellent C314 mini track loader is even better for 2026 thanks to the debut of a new, all electric version that offers quiet, low maintenance, and emission-free running for round-the-clock operation.

A pair of new Volvo ECR25 Electric mini excavators are busy breaking up oversize rocks in crushing operations at this Ontario-based mine – and the transition from diesel has been as smooth as their electric motors!

Canadian heavy equipment dealer Nors and Volvo CE are kicking off the season of giving early, handing over the keys to a brand-new Volvo L25 Electric compact wheel loader to Habitat for Humanity!

The first-ever Liebherr MK 120-5.1E electric crane in customer hands has rolled into the narrow, historic streets of Bern’s old town at 20 meters tall with a 45 meter reach and (of course) zero emissions, no vibrations, and almost no noise.

The bright yellow D6 XE dozer might look like your everyday medium-class dozer, but underneath that vibrant bodywork it’s hiding a highly efficient electric drive system that Cat says makes it the most advanced hybrid dozer on the market.

After logging more than 100 million all-electric miles with deployed fleet of battery-powered semi trucks, Volvo’s latest EV milestone can be found OFF the highway: the company’s new L90 Electric wheel loader has reached its first customers.

Nothing makes the clueless anti-EV hysterics happier than the tired claim that electric vehicles “just move the emissions somewhere else,” but one landscaper is making those guys sound even dumber than usual by replacing his diesel excavator with an all-electric unit from JCB that runs entirely on solar.

Finnish equipment brand Avant Techno Oy is making their biggest push yet into the electric wheel loader market with the launch of the all-new Avant e747, packing a 47 kWh battery and serious, diesel-beating performance.

This world’s first fully electric deconstruction site is being hailed as a landmark in sustainable urban development — and it’s powered by Siemens technology and Volvo Group’s battery-electric trucks and heavy equipment.

There’s an odd irony in utility-scale construction: working for the power company doesn’t always mean you have power. That lack of accessible grid power makes it tough to fully decarbonize some construction sites, no matter how committed they are to reducing emissions. That’s where Hitachi Energy’s new HyFlex hydrogen generator comes in, offering off-grid charging without the harmful emissions of diesel.

Sennebogen’s new 824 G Electro Battery material handler is being put through its paces at a recycling site in Munich’s Aubing district. And, thanks to its innovative grid-connected/battery system, it never has to stop to recharge!

Combining the unique qualities of Liebherr Stereoloaders with an innovative BEV drivetrain, the six-ton L 507 E raises the bar for electric construction equipment – which is why, when this Danish recycling company decided to get serious about decarbonizing, they chose Liebherr.

Japanese equipment giant Komatsu has added a not-so-giant electric excavator to its growing lineup of battery-powered construction equipment. The new Komatsu PC20E-6 electric mini excavator promises a full day of work from a single charge.
