In today's era of pursuing sustainable development, new energy excavators are gradually becoming the focus of the field of construction machinery. They are powered by electric energy or hybrid power and have brought many changes and advantages to the industry. Compared with traditional fuel excavators, new energy excavators have significant environmental protection features. Without the roar of the engine and pungent exhaust emissions, it truly achieves low-noise, zero-emission construction, which causes minimal environmental pollution, helps reduce carbon emissions, improves air quality, and meets environmental protection requirements.
From a performance perspective, the performance of new energy excavators is also quite outstanding. They adopt advanced technologies, such as fully electronically controlled hydraulic systems, high-torque motors, etc., and are not inferior in excavation force and work efficiency. For example, the world's first 100-ton electric excavator developed by Kaibo Easy Control is equipped with an ultra-large-capacity battery pack and a high-performance motor. It can replenish energy through wind, photovoltaic and other clean energy sources, and can achieve 24-hour continuous operation in conjunction with the tram. The excavation force and work efficiency have reached a high level. In terms of operation and control, new energy excavators are usually equipped with intelligent systems. The LCD touch screen displays information in real time, one-button start, and intelligent assistance. The operation is easier, just like driving a family car.
For users, operating costs are also one of the key points of concern. Due to the use of advanced electric drive technology, new energy excavators can greatly reduce energy consumption and achieve higher economic benefits. For example, Shantui's EE215 pure electric excavator has low energy consumption. A single pure electric excavator can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 162 tons per year (calculated based on 3,000 hours/year), and save approximately 268,500 yuan in annual fuel costs (the hourly consumption of fuel excavators (18L of oil, 7.5 yuan per liter of diesel), the cost of use is greatly reduced. At the same time, it also eliminates the maintenance links related to traditional fuel engines, reduces maintenance costs and time-consuming, and improves the equipment's availability.
The development of new energy excavators is also inseparable from the participation of second-hand dealers. Some second-hand dealers are gradually paying attention to this emerging market. When buying and selling second-hand new energy excavators, they will focus on evaluating key factors such as the battery life, endurance, and the condition of core components of the equipment. Because these factors directly affect the performance and value of second-hand equipment.
Second-hand dealers play an important role in the new energy excavator market. They not only provide users with more choices, but also use their professional knowledge and experience to help buyers understand the actual situation of the equipment, provide reasonable price suggestions, and assist in completing transactions. At the same time, they will also conduct certain testing and maintenance on the acquired second-hand equipment to ensure the quality and performance of the equipment.
The first 135-ton new energy-powered hydraulic excavator that Taizhong Group just rolled off the production line is a good example. It is equipped with a world-class brand engine and a fully electronically controlled hydraulic system. Its performance reaches world-class levels, and its load-bearing endurance is increased by 30%, productivity is increased by 6%, and excavation force is increased by 5%. Of course, new energy excavators currently face some challenges, such as limited cruising range and imperfect charging facilities. However, with the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual improvement of infrastructure, these problems will gradually be solved.
In short, new energy excavators have shown huge advantages and potential in terms of environmental protection, performance, and economy. With the joint efforts of all parties, including the technological innovation of manufacturers, the professional services of second-hand dealers and the support of relevant policies, new energy excavators will surely occupy an important position in the future construction machinery market and contribute to a greener and more efficient construction social contribution. Whether in urban construction, mining or other fields, they will play an increasingly important role.
