Electric excavator competes fully with the diesels

The way it looks now it can run for 10 hours

Extra enjoyment when an article appears in which the electric excavator supplied by Staad Group, in this case the DX165W electric, in addition to the machinist also filling a leading role. If you ask us, a good article, all the more so because it is an interview with a machinist himself. We were therefore surprised when this interview appeared on bouwmachines.nl in June, pleasantly surprised in this case.

In a nutshell: 
The interview is about an electric mobile earth mover that competes in full force with the diesels. Machinist Gerrit Jan Bunt, of earthmoving company Cornelisse BV from Elst, speaks fully about his experiences with an electric machine. The way it looks now, he can run for 10 hours and no longer needs to recharge during his break. But just as important: Gerrit Jan can do the same work with this electric machine as with a diesel one, so he can keep on working. As he says himself, "I no longer have to pay attention to anything in that respect."

The sound: electric vs diesel

In this interview, Gerrit Jan also elaborates on the sound of an electric machine versus a diesel machine, what the advantages and disadvantages of this "may" be, because that is also something personal he says. Besides the interview there are beautiful pictures of Gerrit Jan at work with his electric excavator. Really a very nice and interesting article, a must read if you ask us.
