Using electricity to propel vehicles and power equipment work systems is not new. The majority of cars on U.S. highways in the early 1900s were battery powered and far outnumbered those using gas or ...

Electric-powered equipment has been adjacent to construction for some time. Electric machines are a common sight in mining, while indoor loading and material-handling equipment have long relied on ...

Over the past several years, manufacturers have teased battery electric compact machine prototypes at major industry shows. But until very recently, the availability of actual production machines was ...

Construction machines are estimated to generate around 400 Mt of CO 2 emission per year, which is around 1.1% of global CO 2 emission. Decarbonization of non-road mobile machines will therefore be an ...

Electrical machines and drives form the cornerstone of modern power conversion, enabling efficient transfer of energy between electrical and mechanical domains. Machines such as induction motors, ...

“Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems” covers the concepts needed to understand the evolution of electrical and magnetic variables for designing the power-electronic circuits that supply ...

Chinese equipment manufacturer Zoomlion has unveiled five new-energy technology achievements spanning construction, mining, and ...

Editor’s note: This is a corollary to an article by the same author on instances when a hydraulic press might be the best option — “Hydraulic vs. Electric Injection Molding Machines: When Energy ...

Electrification of equipment is not new, as the industry has seen decades of electric technology in mining, as well as the hybrid diesel-electric dozers, wheel loaders, excavators, and MEWPs on job ...

Editor's note: A long-time industry veteran and expert on scientific molding, John Bozzelli is a processing guru, consultant, and principal of Injection Molding Solutions in Midland, MI. A current ...

This isn’t exactly my first time dropping a container full of Chinese electric vehicles in the yard and cracking it open with childlike glee. But it is likely one of the most unique experiences I’ve ...
