A central focus of the booth will be the company’s lineup of zero-emission, battery-powered compaction, concrete and excavation equipment, including the 1.7-ton EZ17e battery-powered excavator. The machine, which was originally slated for launch in the United States in late 2019, will be available for purchase late this year or early 2024, President and CEO Gert Reichetseder said in a news release.

“This machine will provide a solution for contractors and rental houses looking for a quiet, zero-emission excavator to expand their businesses into new applications while meeting environmental regulations,” Reichetseder added.  

Other excavators to be showcased will include the all-new EZ26, a 2.6-ton zero tail-swing excavator and the 5.8-ton ET58 tracked excavator.
