Bonfiglioli has developed an innovative drive system, the 610X, for use with hybrid backhoe loaders. The 610X unit is a two-speed, hydraulically-operated drive. This offers dynamic electronic speed shifting as well as integrated parking and service brake systems. The new drive is said to be compact in construction, with an optimised electric motor design. It has an integrated speed shift that operates within the optimum range and is said to maximise efficiency.
The system is now being used by Huddig
