Develon’s prototype electric wheeled excavator offers long battery life

Develon is unveiling its prototype BEV Zero-Emission 14tonne wheeled excavator, which is still in development. The machine is aimed at use in urban work and the firm plans to develop a line-up of various BEV products.

The DX140WRE is intended to be the world's first mass-produced medium-sized wheeled excavator that can work for more than 8 hours on a single charge. This will allow it to be a replacement for conventional internal combustion engine machines. It has been designed to be able to perform a full day's work on a single charge, without the need for additional charging. The battery capacity has been selected and installed on the machine to meet this purpose.
