Innovative solutions for a sustainable construction environment
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment Excavators operating on eco-friendly power sources
Battery-powered Construction Equipment
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment has successfully developed construction equipment with electric motors powered by batteries instead of an internal combustion engines that use fossil fuels. The lithium-ion battery used in these excavators is eco-friendly, as it produces no exhaust emissions when used as a power source, and is suitable for indoor work and urban construction sites, as it produces less noise than conventional engine-based excavators. Moreover, the use of lithium-ion batteries with high energy density has reduced energy consumption by more than 60% compared to conventional engine-based excavators based on the same operating performance. HD Hyundai Construction Equipment plans to launch a mini battery-powered excavator in 2024 and gradually roll out small, medium-sized, and large excavators.
Hydrogen-powered Construction Equipment
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment is developing hydrogen-powered excavators in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group. Unlike conventional equipment with diesel engines, hydrogen-powered construction equipment uses electricity generated from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen as a power source. Hydrogen fuel cells are environmentally friendly, as they do not produce any harmful emissions, and the high energy density of hydrogen makes it suitable for medium-sized to large excavators. HD Hyundai Construction Equipment is actively pursuing development with the goal of mass-producing eco-friendly hydrogen-powered excavators by designing, manufacturing, and evaluating the performance of excavators equipped with hydrogen fuel cells.
