Electrification exposes hydraulic-pump shortcomings
Heightened concerns over climate change and global warming are key reasons for the growing interest in zero-emission vehicles. Battery-electric mobile machines, while still mainly in the prototype stage, may require hydraulic-pumps and variable-speed drives to evolve to suit future applications. Hydraulic pumps are high-performance components. However, according to engineers at Bucher Hydraulics, Klettgau, Germany, they […]
