In addition, the undercarriage of the EW145B PRIME model has also been upgraded. The new axles are more robust and durable and are capable of handling a higher machine weight and digging forces. The engine features a common rail fuel system and IEGR internal exhaust gas recirculating system, for low emissions and noise levels. The standard twin wheels are said to offer high stability and the machine can reach speeds of up 37km/h.

The hydraulic system also has flow regeneration and automatic priority to further boost efficiency, as well as operator-selected working modes. The cab is claimed to be roomy with a good field of view and lower working noise while in addition, the machine is said to be easy to service and maintain.
