HYUNDAI DEMONSTRATES ELECTRIC-POWERED COMPACT EXCAVATORS AT CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020
NORCROSS, GA (March 25, 2020) – At both indoor (N11601) and outdoor (F6914) exhibits at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas demonstrated working prototype models of electric-powered compact excavators. A full range of wheel loaders and excavators, including new and enhanced models were also on display.
At its indoor exhibit, Hyundai demonstrates a prototype of the Hyundai R18E electric-powered compact excavator, developed exclusively in-house. The outdoor exhibit features a working prototype of the Hyundai R35E electric-powered compact excavator, designed in collaboration with Cummins Inc.
“Through our own resources, and in collaboration with a global industry leader like Cummins, Hyundai demonstrates a commitment to meet the growing demand for electric-powered compact excavators,” said Stan Park, Vice President of Distribution and Marketing, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas.
CLEAN POWER, QUIET PERFORMANCE
Electric-powered compact excavators offer a variety of benefits, including no carbon emissions and quiet operations.
The prototype Hyundai R18E is a two-ton-class machine designed for use both indoors and in urban settings. Offering power and productivity equivalent to the diesel-powered Hyundai R17Z-9A compact excavator, the R18E is 60 percent more energy efficient.
