Working with international player Stena Recycling, we are proving that electric construction equipment is the perfect solution to walking the talk in recycling applications. Together we are committed to building a better, more circular and sustainable future. And it is working. Over two years, our ECR25 Electric excavator has operated over 4,000 hours. And thanks to its high performance and reliable battery technology, it requires only quick breaks for charging, easily accessible on site. The result is that this small but mighty machine moves over 20 tonnes of recycled material every day. Replacing its diesel predecessor with ease has helped the customer reduce fuel costs, carbon emissions and vibrations while driving up efficiency and a more comfortable operation.

The shift to electric has proved a gamechanger for Stena Recycling and a benefit to both their business and the environment. During its operation at Stena’s industrial plastic recycling facility in Sweden, the ECR25 Electric has reduced energy costs by 83% and cut CO₂ emissions by about 21 tonnes per year. And not only that, but with its zero exhaust emissions, it is the perfect choice for carrying out work indoors in the plant. Discover below why our customer believes electromobility is a “massive opportunity” for moving 3.6 million tonnes of material every year.

Family-run Wiedag Recycling and Landfill opted for our L20 Electric wheel loader when it came to choosing a provider for electric operation. For this Swiss-based company, there is the added sustainability benefit of using a ‘waste-to-energy’ process on site to power the machine. It is a unique approach that allows the company to further reduce its environmental impact. The electricity comes from processing green waste brought to the site by its customers. And thanks to this sustainable power source, the company always has enough energy in the battery to carry out at least half a day’s work before a quick charge is needed. This project is proving the power and potential of a circular approach to waste and recycling.

For Wiedag, the advantages are clear. As well as zero tailpipe emissions, near-silent operation and the same performance as a diesel machine, operating costs are also lower. Especially in this case with the machines being powered by self-producing electricity. It is a clear demonstration of how businesses can reduce their environmental impact whilst still maintaining high efficiency. What is more, Wiedag’s customers tell the firm that they are proud to be associated with such a forward-thinking company.

We are leading the way with machines that allow customers to reduce fuel and upkeep costs, while creating a much more pleasant place to work. That is even before you consider the advantages of decreased noise pollution and enhanced efficiency. These eco-friendly solutions are also a great way to enhance your business - as they open up new opportunities such as working indoors or in low carbon areas. Discover how our zero emission solutions can help customers around the world meet their environmental objectives.

Our L25 Electric wheel loader is proving just how much money and energy can be saved by switching to electric. After a two week period operating in two waste and recycling plants in Sweden, the zero-emission machine saved 250kg of CO₂ – equalling a potential saving of more than 6 tonnes of CO₂ if the project was extended over six months. Both plants saw an 86-87% saving in energy costs, thanks to the fact that charging was less than the cost of fuelling a diesel-powered machine.

When our partner Heidelberg Materials, a global leader in building materials, wanted to electrify its fleets of machines, it looked to us to provide the net zero innovations. Our L120H Electric Conversion wheel loader will take on a key role in handling waste cycles on site across its Northern European operations. The collaboration is designed to put sustainability at the forefront. As an example of its ambition, waste not suitable for recycling is used as a fuel in cement production and can today substitute up to 90% of the traditional coal based fuel in production.

Helping to keep the streets of Berlin clean and clear is no easy task. But our electric technology s proving that a more sensitive operation means no compromise on performance. A fleet of nine zero-emission L25 Electric wheel loaders have been employed by Germany’s largest municipal waste management company Berliner Stradtreinigung (BSR) to remove snow and ice, while loading de-icing salt and gravel for the city’s grit spreaders. Our fast chargers have enabled the machines to fully charge in just two hours.
