Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) is set to unveil its largest-ever electric excavator line-up at Bauma 2025. In collaboration with KTEG, the company will showcase nine zero-emission models at stand FN.716, representing nearly one-third of its innovative display. This reinforces Hitachi’s commitment to advancing zero-emission job site solutions and highlights its successful partnerships in achieving sustainable construction technology.
The line-up includes four models, ranging from 1.7 to 14 tonnes, manufactured by Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd (HCM), while six machines have been developed by KTEG, a joint venture with Kiesel Technology GmbH established at Bauma 2022. Making its global debut is the ZX17U-EB, featuring a swappable battery and charger, developed in collaboration with Dimaag AI. Also on display will be the ZX55U-6EB and ZX135-7EB, along with an Alfen NV 422kWh energy storage system and charging unit. An autonomous 14-tonne electric excavator will also be showcased.
Among the KTEG solutions featured at the HCME stand are several firsts for the joint venture, including the ZE150W electric wheeled excavator, the ZE300 hydrogen-powered medium excavator, the ZE225 electric medium excavator with a two-piece boom, and the ZE17 cable-powered mini excavator. Completing the range is the ZE85, which features a new high-capacity battery pack.
“Our zero-emission solutions at Bauma align with HCM’s vision of contributing to a safe and sustainable society,” says HCME President Francesco Quaranta. “We understand the industry’s challenges in meeting zero-emission requirements, and we see them as opportunities to collaborate and develop innovative solutions for our customers.”
