Ready to Run

Whatever the weather, ensure your machine is prepared for immediate operation in all climates with the Ready to Run option. The system automatically pre-heats or cools the batteries and cab to an optimal operating temperature of around +25°C, waking up the machine up to one hour before scheduled operation. What’s more, when plugged in during overnight charging the Ready to Run option utilizes the charging gun as the primary power source to wake the machine, helping to maintain battery power. Available as a software update on already shipped machines, Ready to Run helps to ensure maximum uptime and maintain battery energy for reliable, uninterrupted performance.
