Norwegian companies Pon Equipment and Danfoss have begun production of a 25-tonne battery-powered excavator that is able to work for seven hours on a single charge.
Danfoss is a pioneer of battery-powered alternatives to traditional petrol and diesel machinery and Pon is a dealer in Caterpillar equipment that decided to produce a fully electric version of one of the US company’s models.
Tomi Ristimäki, OEM sales director at Danfoss, said: “The Cat 323F Z-line is a clean green innovative machine, enabled by Danfoss’ Editron drivetrain, which is a software-led system. Our strong relationship with Pon Equipment, combined with our experience of electrifying heavy-duty machines, helped to make this a successful conversion project.
