It's amazing! Case recently launched the world's first truly mass-produced electric excavator 580EV. This excavator is no different from the four-wheel drive conventional power 580SN in terms of loading size, excavation specifications and excavation force. The only key core upgrade is an 80 kW electric engine and a 400-volt 71 kWh lithium battery. It can work continuously for 8 hours when fully charged. The PowerDrive transmission system used in the 580EV is particularly powerful. The loader, excavator and steering system all use hydraulic pumps, which can greatly reduce energy consumption and make the loading application more powerful. And it is also equipped with ProControl swing shock absorption, PowerLift/PowerBoost and electronic hydraulic control, which are excavator functions, making it more precise and convenient to use on the job site. According to Case officials, compared with diesel-powered vehicles, electric excavators can save up to 90% of vehicle maintenance and fuel costs each year! However, the official price of this machine has not yet been announced. But the editor thinks the price should be more expensive than conventional power.
Let's talk about our second-hand excavator market. We have also noticed that the development momentum of electric excavators is quite rapid. Nowadays, environmental protection requirements are getting higher and higher. The market demand for electric excavators will definitely increase in the future. Although there are still few second-hand electric excavator products, we think that it will definitely occupy a place in the second-hand market in the future. We are also keeping a close eye on the development of electric excavators and providing customers with more good second-hand equipment options to meet everyone's different needs.
In general, the 580EV electric excavator launched by CASE is of great significance. It marks a big step forward for the excavator industry towards electrification. I hope that there will be more brand innovations in the industry to promote the sustainable development of the entire industry.
