Energya E9 truck mixer
2203 CIFA has developed the innovative Energya E9 truck mixer, which suits duties in tunnelling applications. This machine is claimed to be environmentally friendly as its drum is driven by an electric motor that is powered by an on-board lithium battery. The machine features a low profile design while the use of battery power for the mixer unit means it produces no emissions when in underground working configuration.

This suits the machine for use in tunnelling projects, as it has a minimal requirement for ventilation. The machine can be used to supply concrete for structural applications required in tunnelling work.
