While most electric construction equipment launches to date have focused on compact equipment, Caterpillar is going bigger at Bauma
Caterpillar recently unveiled four new prototypes of a battery-powered machine at its Executive Sustainability Forum, some of which will be on display later this month at the world's largest construction trade show.
The four models are: the 301.9 Electric Compact Excavator, the 950 GC Medium Electric Wheel Loader and the 320 Medium Electric Excavator.
Volvo Construction Equipment also announced earlier this year that it was testing an electric version of its 24-ton EC320 excavator.
