Purpose-Built Design Benefits Electric Construction Equipment.

HEVI, a developer of all-electric heavy equipment, aims to offer clean and sustainable alternatives to the diesel-dominated U.S. heavy equipment industry. The company has launched a product line of purpose-built all-electric heavy equipment, including front loaders and excavators. Unlike other manufacturers, HEVI's equipment is designed from the ground up for electrification and specific applications, with batteries placed at the back of the machines. The company's machines use hydraulics for familiar and easy operation, and a multi-motor configuration ensures efficiency and extended battery life. HEVI's electric machines are suited for applications such as waste management, agriculture, landscaping, urban construction, and public works yards. The company offers demos to potential customers to showcase the benefits and feasibility of electric heavy equipment, including cost advantages, reduced maintenance and fuel costs, and significant environmental impacts. However, there is some debate among machine owners about the quieter operation of electric machines, with differing opinions on the desired level of machine noise for safety reasons.
