Why is the electrification of construction machinery difficult?

Introducing the overall picture and background of construction machinery electrification, as well as the technical essence interpreted from structural challenges, systems, and design perspectives!

Against the backdrop of global decarbonization policies and strengthened environmental regulations, the trend towards electrification is accelerating in the construction machinery sector. In Europe, electric excavators, electric wheel loaders, and electric cranes are being put into practical use, and in Japan, the introduction of electric mini-excavators and electric transport equipment is progressing, leading to a growing interest in the electrification of various construction machines. On the other hand, it is becoming widely recognized at the field level that electrification cannot simply be seen as a replacement of the power source. The electrification of construction machinery represents a significant structural transformation that affects the power structure, power supply configuration, control structure, and maintenance operations, and it is entering a realm where it is difficult to respond with ideas that are merely an extension of conventional design. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
