The future is sustainable and it’s here to stay
Last month, organizers for CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE announced that a key focus of the 2023 events will be on next levels of sustainability in construction, highlighting the many aspects of the shows designed to ensure a sustainable future. This is a reflection of an industry moving towards a sustainable future. First up are manufacturers that […]
Sustainable machine designs top Bauma innovations
While many compact machines boast all-electric systems, several prototype designs feature alternative options to power larger, heavier-duty equipment. At Bauma this past October, most mobile machinery makers touted new or prototype designs that feature low-carbon, sustainable systems. Electrification was a hot topic as it has been, but all-electric designs were mostly limited to compact machinery. […]
Electric-hydraulic hybrid systems reduce emissions in refuse collection vehicles
Hybrid systems bridge the road to electrification with small batteries and readily available components. Electrification aims to eliminate vehicle emissions that degrade air quality and negatively impact public health. From a technical standpoint, electrification makes sense for light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as cars and small construction equipment. However, electrification is more complex for larger […]
Danfoss wins UK grant to decarbonize construction machinery
Danfoss Power Solutions has secured a grant worth approximately $450,000 from the U.K. government to accelerate the electrification of construction machinery. The U.K. Department for Business Energy and Skills awarded the grant through its Red Diesel Replacement competition, which seeks to accelerate the transition to electric off-road vehicles such as excavators and wheel loaders. While […]

Danfoss Power Solutions and RISE Robotics announce they’ve signed a collaboration agreement to jointly validate and test a key innovation that has the potential to transform the heavy machinery market through electrification. Danfoss and RISE Robotics, a zero-emission heavy machinery company, have formalized their collaborative relationship. The two businesses have signed an agreement to work […]
Electrohydraulics makes commercial vehicles more eco-friendly
Environmental regulations for road vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent, and one way to reduce CO2 emissions may be to eliminate mechanical V-belts or power take-offs from future commercial vehicles. Energy-efficient electrohydraulic systems, such as the latest Smart PowerPacks from Bucher Hydraulics, provide a viable alternative. Last year, the EU adopted a European Climate Law with […]
