An increasing number of compact construction machine makers are now developing models featuring electric power. The firms have introduced electric versions for segments such as compact loaders and excavators as well as compressors. Firms such as JCB, Volvo CE and Wacker Neuson have been offering all-electric compact machines aimed at the utility market for some time and other manufacturers have followed suit with their own offerings. The range of equipment available using battery power in the compact machinery segment continues to grow. It is rapidly reaching a situation where all compact machine makers will offer the option of electric models across their respective ranges. While electric machines tend to be more costly to. purchase than diesel-powered variants, the long-term savings on maintenance costs and the reduction of risks arising from equipment misuse are key purchase factors for rental companies. |
