Compact wheel loader joins mini excavators in zero-emission line-up.
As governments across the world push industry and the public towards a zero-carbon future, in a drive to improve air quality, manufacturers are meeting customer needs by developing solutions to cut exhaust emissions from machinery and transportation.
CASE Construction Equipment has introduced the 12EV, an electric compact wheel loader that demonstrates CASE´s commitment to sustainable applications and alternative fuel solutions. This new loader delivers more choice for customers, to help them meet their CO2 footprint reduction targets.
Applications and Benefits
The electric compact wheel loader can operate in restricted areas, in residential construction, tunnelling and in sensitive environments, such as agriculture and horticulture, urban construction and areas that require quiet operation, such as residential building, hospitals and during night time working.
The 12EV offers the same or improved performance in comparison with a diesel model of the same size.
Electric mini excavators
The 12EV is CASE Construction Equipment´s third production battery electric model, following the introduction of the CX15EV and the CX25EV mini excavators. Weighing 1.5 and 2.5-tonnes respectively, these two compact excavators are powered by 21.5kWh and 32.3kWh battery packs, delivering full shift autonomous running.
The CX15EV uses an 11kW motor, while the larger machine has a 25kW rated output. These motors drive a low-noise helical gear pump and a load-sensing hydraulic system in the smaller model, while the heavier mini excavator uses a single load-sensing variable displacement pump. There is a three-mode control system, offering Eco, Standard and Power settings.
