Electric Excavator ConceptVolvo Penta and Gradall Industries have unveiled an electric excavator concept model of the Gradall multipurpose, highway speed wheeled excavator. Not your average traditional hydraulic excavator the machine features a telescopic boom mounted next to a separate cab sitting to the rear of a road-going chassis. This allows the machine to be independently dispatched to multiple locations throughout the working day without requiring a low loader for transport. Working closely with the leading North American telescopic boom excavator manufacturer, the concept machine is powered entirely by two Volvo Penta batteries, matched to the duty cycle of the excavator, which fit neatly into the existing engine bay. With a hydraulic system powered by a Volvo Penta-supplied electric machine power take-off (EM PTO), this concept machine can effectively use battery power to transport its own excavator. The electric driveline system from Volvo Penta also includes the complete high voltage system — electric motors, gearboxes, inverters, junction boxes and cabling. Volvo Group Proven Partners: The partnership between Volvo Penta and Gradall began in 2014 when Volvo Penta became the exclusive supplier of 5 and 8-liter Tier 4 Final engines for Gradall diesel-powered telescopic boom excavators. This nearly decade-long partnership made Volvo Penta the obvious choice for Gradall when it decided to take its first step into electromobility. With a full systems approach and optimised design this ensured that Volvo Penta delivered a tailored solution based on exact Gradall usage requirements.
