Executive Summary
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
On the surface level drivers for electric solutions in mobile machinery are partly the
same as concerning e.g. public transportation and EV trucks or even cars: lowering
emissions, regulation from international and national organizations and public image
On the other hand they are quite different with a closer look:
•
e.g. EU or US legislation do not yet impose large problems concerning emissions –diesel engines can
be developed to meet the set limits in short term and adapted to use biofuels. In longer term the
challenges will push more for leaps in technology
•
Old drivers of limiting emissions and noise for e.g. using machinery indoors or in mines are valid as
for decades before
•
Energy efficiency is a key for machinery working in limited space even outdoors (logistic centers,
harbors, warehousing, or even construction)
There are projects focusing on electric power sources, but more common are tests
and pilots as well as R&D focusing on hybrids
Most companies are interested in (H)EV topics, but machinery companies are not too
active in own research, most companies look for the developments in their suppliers
For electric solutions the lighter machinery like forklifts use battery power and the
heavier like cargo cranes or construction machinery rely on cabling to fixed power
source
Major bottlenecks are the costs and reliability of the new solutions as well as
technical issues like the durability and size of batteries
Massive usage of pure EV-propulsion will not be feasible economically before battery
and/or SuperCap performance has radically increased (cost efficiently)
Sector offer opportunities for Finnish companies and there is a lot of potential for R&D
activity, but also governmental / regulatory actions in pushing end client demand
forward

Electric mobile work machinery – methodology and definitions
This report is based on best available information gathered by Finpro consultants
during summer and autumn 2010. Information was gathered by market expert and
industry interviews mainly in EU, USA and Asia (South-Korea, Japan and China). Most
interviews were done as part of other work or e.g. during exhibitions or industry
events. As the interviews did not reveal too specific understanding about the present
trends and specifically most companies were quite secretive about their plans, the
study relied much to secondary and public information in e.g. industry publications
and Internet.
Electric machinery is not a new invention as electric motor was invented and much
developed in the 19th century. The applications vary from wrist watches to ships and
airplanes. As this brief global study can not even scratch the surface of all the
possibilities, we focused on the most relevant (and visible) solutions available and
developed in Finland.
Primarily we focused on machinery meeting the following criteria
•
Mobile machines gaining power from battery (electric source)
•
Working performance provided by source of electric energy
•
Mobility assured by own forces
From the key industries:
•
Agricultural and forestry machines
•
Mining and construction related machinery
•
Material handling equipment and machinery
Solutions requiring cabling or trolley solutions are not dealt as pure EV solutions within the
above definition, but are taken into account due to being complementary solutions.
Hybrid solutions were handled partly as EV technologies and seen as of major alternative for
pure EV solutions –especially until the battery capacities can be significantly increased. Until
fuel cells or passive energy sources are feasible diesel based hybrids will be a intermediate
solution.

Key differences of electric mobile work machinery to electric
vehicles
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Production series sizes are significantly lower: typically some hundreds
to thousands
Size of the machines varies from light forklifts and agrimachines to huge
construction machines (some hundreds of kilos to tens of tons)
Work tasks and purpose of the machines vary hugely
Work environment varies: indoor, mines, agricultural fields, forests,
industrial and logistic centers, etc.
Required power varies much more: from about 10 kW to MW class
machinery
High force, performance and torque are typical requirements but actual
speed of moving the machinery/ transport speed is typically low
Electric propulsion is common/ business as usual in certain areas
(specifically light or very heavy machines and machines used in confined
spaces)

Global Machinery Market
•
•
•
•
•
There are various estimations on the total value of the market depending on
definitions of the group. Figures below represent overall classifications, not
specifically mobile machinery. However the total market for machinery for specified
sectors is about 430 billion euros annually.
•
Production of agricultural and forest machinery is estimated to exceed 120 billion euros annually
•
Production of mining and construction machinery exceeds the value of 150 billion euros annually
•
Production of lifting and handling equipment about 150 billion euros annually in last two years
•
Asia Pacific is the most active production region for all categories above with some 60-70% of total
production
•
About 50% of the production is placed in developed countries and 50% in emerging and developing
countries
•
Recently the development and growth has stopped, but is expected to gain speed in 2011 and going
back to 5-10% annual growth.
In any case the total market for these technologies is vast and large enough in any
general measures.
However, the market is fragmented as special purpose machines are in many cases
becoming more and more specialized or alternatively there is a strive for multipurpose
machines
Different rental and leasing models are changing the end-users business models
especially in construction business and e.g. strengthening the possibility of using
more special purpose machines
The share of EV technologies varies hugely from sector to another. Easiest to
estimate is the forklift business sector, where about 50% of machines used in
developed countries is electric due to requirements of eliminating exhaust gases and
noise. In most other segment the share of electric solutions is very limited and similar
to electric vehicle sales the actual amounts sold are still minimal and targeted only to
niche clients

Key Trends – Heavy Machinery
Manufacturers are slowly beginning to replace traditional mechanical and hydraulic
systems in construction gear with hybrid-electric drives that improve efficiency,
simplify the structure of machine and lower operating costs. A growing demand for
machines that cost less to operate, together with regulatory pressures for lower
emissions, are leading construction-equipment manufacturers to electric and hybrid
drives over traditional hydraulic and mechanical ones.
Hybrid drives typically let OEMs use smaller diesel engines and operate them at
speeds where they are most efficient and run cleaner (with less emission). And the
drives can recover and reuse energy that was previously wasted as heat — which
means smaller cooling systems.
But the key advantage is lower fuel consumption over machines with moreconventional powertrains (e.g. up to 25% in case of hybrid excavator) — which saves
money and lessens environmental impact. And hybrid machines can offer productivity
gains and often require less maintenance.
Although this is still an extremely small segment of the overall industry, this report
portrays cases of several leading companies in the global market which are also
leading the way in terms of electric drive and hybrid technology for the heavy
machinery industry.

Development towards EV technologies
In general the enthusiasm to develop EV technologies is much lower in machinery sector than
in electric vehicles
•
The companies are either not interested in the development or see it as a competitive factor
and are not willing to discuss their views on development
•
As the variety of machinery is vast there are not simple and clear development trends. No
clear prioritization of technologies or development paths can be generally discussed.
•
When preparing any new products development plans for this segment, companies should
focus on the end client market and verify the willingness to adapt new technologies and
especially the willingness to pay more for these
General observations by Finpro:
•
Cable and trolley/rail solutions are common areas of development in more stationary and
heavy machinery
•
Pure electric (fully electrified) work machines are rare except in forklifts and mining solutions
as well as very specialized and heavy machinery (where the power requirements push
towards cable solutions)
•
Hybrid solutions seems to be a popular research topic as most recent new product launches
concerning EV in work machinery are related to hybrids.
•
However, the ongoing industrial R&D was proven to be very difficult to map as co-operation
with public/ open projects is rare and most companies are developing their technologies inhouse – which is a trend strengthened by the global downturn as companies
•
The development is much more visible in the automotive and truck industry where hybrids
systems are often object of intercompany trading –e.g. buying whole hybrid divisions (Dana>Bosch). Simply put the development of electric mobile machinery is still in many areas in
early stage and the directions it will take and the volumes are impossible to evaluate
accurately
•
Electric solutions have been popular research topics in e.g. military applications, but even
there the trend seems to be more towards hybrid solutions at the moment
•
Excavators, forklifts, wheel loaders and medium heavy machines seem to be the most
common type of work machines to be developed to a hybrid version.

US EPA Tier regulations are similar to EU limits
Emission limits are tightening in the future for engines bigger than 37 kW
However, EU directives include so called flexibility schemes, and the flexibility
meaning possibilities to use previous periods limits temporarily is planned to be
widened (proposal has been made 7.7.2010)
Compared to electric commercial vehicles there is a clear lack of financial stimulus or
other incentives for the utilization of alternative technologies of the diesel engines

Main bottlenecks and obstacles of development from perspective
of industry
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Price increases of machinery due to applying new technologies – even with estimated lower
life cycle costs/ operational costs the higher price is a problem in highly competitive
industries
In most cases the end users come from very traditional industries that have used traditional
technologies for decades. For these end users the purchase of new machinery represents
significant investments and it is unlikely they are willing to be early adopters / testers of new
solutions without incentives from government
Green image is not yet a large selling point in industrial machinery sector or at least
companies are unwilling to pay significantly more for this
Battery technologies are not seen as mature in industry and possibilities for developing full
electric solutions are limited by the low storage capabilities of the batteries. Battery
technology challenges include weight, fast charge, dimensions and price.
Availability of components now and uncertainty about the future availability limit the
motivation of OEMs to implement EV technologies. Motivation can be also affected by the
need to restructure supplier base if key technologies are changed.
Most producers see the sector risky as new product development takes few to several years
for engineering and prototyping and raking new technologies into the equation simply
increases the risks of companies.
Many of the potential machinery are used in areas or even countries with poor service
networks and operators have limited technical skills. High technology solutions are then
seen as a risk or practically impossible to use.

Additional information about forklift industry
As forklifts are probably the best known for their electric drives, below are
some key notifications of this industrial area:
•
The forklift industry is broken down into five classes of machines, as
listed by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA), with some manufacturers
selling models in all five or specializing in just a few.
•
The forklift market is also differentiated by the type of propulsion system-electric drive or internal combustion engines. Electric units make up
about 60% of the market. The trend towards electrics can be attributed
to ever-tightening engine emissions requirements and technology
advances in performance and efficiency of electric drives and batteries.
•
Approximately 60% of lift trucks sold today have a battery, and that trend
is expected to continue over the next several years.
•
A number of manufacturers compete in the forklift market. Some of the
major players include Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift, Toyota, Nissan,
Hyster and Yale.
•
Battery technology has also advanced the trend toward electric-powered
forklifts as the cost and performance of batteries continue to improve.
Forklifts are also proving to be fertile ground for the advancement of
hybrids, fuel cells and other alternatives.

Common development strategies in machinery
Based on interviews in the market and Finpro observations of company behavior, it
seems that there are three main strategies that are being followed by different
companies concerning the EV technologies:
1.
2.
3.
Pioneer/ integrated developer
Follower / Supplier focused
Not active
First group has typically large own resources and has activities within the group for
motor or engine development. Companies like this seem to be active e.g. in hybrid
development or at minimum having some R&D projects in-house and finally aim at
offering wide spectrum of own or supplied solutions.
Second group doesn’t in most cases have any electric solutions at the moment, but
some of them already offer solutions for alternative power and drivetrain. They may
e.g. rely on their powertrain suppliers for the development of hybrids or they offer
their products with the alternative of cabling.
Third group is not actively doing anything presently concerning EV. They may have
alternative development focus such as biofuels or improving their diesel efficiency.
They may even follow the general development, but see the drivetrain development as
the problem of suppliers or a problem for the future –not a present issue.

19
Key limiting factors concerning the development
•
•
•
•
•
•
Besides electric power and hybrid solutions as well as diesel electric solutions, most
of the companies will have possibilities to keep up with the environmental demands of
both regulators and increasing fuel costs by focusing on better efficiency and
improved technology as well as solutions combining biofuels and alternative fuel
sources to their machinery.
Concerning electric systems the capacity and lifetime reliability of the batteries is a
main issue. Naturally applications which allow usage of cabling are possible, but
otherwise the large scale adaptation of EV technologies in heavier work machines,
which must have long work cycles, is not feasible –especially when battery costs are
high
Uncertainty of what type of technologies will be winners in the long-run create risks
for companies and reduce the willingness to invest in new product development in
early phase. Especially the role of fuel cells and super capacitors seems to be unclear
Many of the machinery companies do not have a lot of in-house resources concerning
the EV or hybrid solutions and it is not clear where to get the correct resources or to
whom to partner up with
One of the main limiting factors of the speed of development is the lack of end user
demand in most industries. Why would an industrial client select a more expensive
technology that is not proven and tested in industrial use for decades?
In many cases machinery companies (OEMs) have moved more towards services and
offer both spare parts and maintenance of the machinery as part of their business. As
the electric solutions are expected to be more reliable and to have less wearing parts,
it may be that moving to electric solutions will look less attractive

Implications from present development strategies for Finland
Following ideas are targeted at starting a discussion with Finnish industry and the
innovation network and are not to be seen as fixed suggestions:
•
•
•
•
•
Mobile machinery offers much more potential in manufacturing and product
development sector than the automotive production as the production volumes and
series sizes are much smaller (and therefore more fitting to Finnish market) and there
exist a wider company base already
As activity in many sectors for (H)EV is limited or just beginning this may offer
competitive advantage for Finnish machinery manufacturers if they focus on correct
end clients and verify the demand. End client demand should be evaluated and
understood better before taking decisions
R&D in the area should be supported by state activities, if Finland is to be competitive
in the future, but there is also need to develop the end client demand and awareness.
In fact as there seems to be lack of end client demand for industrial solutions globally
(in the large volumes) there may be opportunities for Finland to tempt also new
investors and players to the market if the end client segment is developed faster than
elsewhere. Finland offers also a good test area for new machinery due to our four
seasons, well developed infrastructure, long distances and heavy industry.
Besides technologies there are opportunities in developing new business models: e.g.
if the sales of spare parts will decrease with selling an EV solution and the price of
the battery (and it’s reliability) are bottlenecks, there can be opportunities in
alternative models like selling the machine, but leasing the battery
Potential for component manufacturing/ subcontracting for international companies in
EV technologies is presently limited, but offers potential in the future.
•
Key issue will be to identify pioneers and open discussion in early phase. However, as the largest
companies seem to be doing the development almost purely in-house, it may be difficult to even open
discussions at this phase
•
Larger suppliers of the machinery industry were not mapped for this study, but this segment may offer
possibilities to component manufacturers

Company case: Caterpillar 2/2
Caterpillar D7E Electric drive Dozer - Peoria, Illinois
Caterpillar's D7E crawler dozer is the first electrically driven dozer using modern alternating-current (AC) technology,
and Cat claims it will move up to 25 percent more material per gallon of fuel than the D7R Series II. The drive system
takes advantage of today's small, less-costly semiconductors that can rectify heavy-duty-drive voltage to AC,
eliminating brushes. The drive is developed by Caterpillar specifically for crawler tractors.
Caterpillar claims its 60,000-pound-weight-range D7E crawler dozer‘s innovative electric drive system will deliver 25
percent more material moved per gallon of fuel than the D7R Series II. A 235-horsepower Cat C9 diesel drives a
generator to produce electricity that ultimately powers two AC electric drive motors, which are connected to a
differential steering system, final drives, and a low-sprocket undercarriage. The electric drive train has 60 percent
fewer moving parts compared to previous D7s. The system also provides power to auxiliary components, eliminating
engine belts. The D7E is the first electric drive dozer using modern AC technology, and the drive is developed by
Caterpillar specifically for track-type tractors. The drive eliminates gears to shift, and is said to perform much like a
hydrostatic drive, albeit with faster response to load demands. The D7E became commercially available in 2009.
Currently, Cat is the only US manufacturer with an electric-drive heavy machine on the market.

Example: Dana Holding Corp.‘s Off-Highway Products Group New hybrid drivetrain: Spicer TE-15HX electric parallel hybrid
•
Dana introduced the Spicer TE-15HX transmission at the recent Intermat show in Paris and in Bauma 2010. The hybrid transmission is
designed to improve fuel economy and vehicle productivity and reduce emissions.
•
It‘s in response to the global construction market‘s renewed emphasis on fuel -efficient equipment that will not compromise productivity or
reliability, according to a company spokesman. The concept transmission is an electric-parallel hybrid featuring controls that continuously
monitor operating conditions and selects the best combination of diesel and electric power for performance at the lowest fuel
consumption, emissions, and noise.
•
Whenever possible, the TE-15HX controls disengage the diesel engine and takes power from supercapacitors for inching and other
vehicle operations that consume little energy. It also powers lights, climate control systems, and other electrical accessories. Under light
loads, the diesel engine alone powers the vehicle while the generator charges the supercapacitors. Regenerative braking is also an
important source of energy for recharging capacitors. When applications call for more traction, the electric drive functions as a motor and
provides power for added torque and faster take-off.
Application of Technology/ plans for use
•
Targeted for material-handling vehicles, Dana is evaluating three and four-speed versions of the TE-15HX transmission with estimated
ratings of 110 to 175 kW (147 to 235 hp)

Company case: LeTourneau Technologies
LeTourneau TechnologiesWheel Motors, Longview, Texas
LeTourneau uses diesel- electric drives in its 50-Series loaders and dozers. AC generators replace gears,
transmissions, and torque converters, while electric-drive motors eliminate axle components such as differentials,
universal joints, and driveshafts found in mechanical drives.
A major benefit is better fuel efficiency, says the company. The electric drive lets the engine operate at a nearconstant rpm, eliminating the constant acceleration and braking of massive rotating engine components
associated with mechanical drives. Lowering these fuel-robbing inertial factors reduces fuel burn by up to 20
gallons/ hr, depending on model and working conditions. Savings can easily exceed $100,000 annually, according
to LeTourneau.
The company‘s 1,050-hp, L-950 wheel loader with a 54,000-lb payload capacity, for example, uses brushless
switched-reluctance (SR) motors, high-power insulated-gate bipolar-transistor (IGBT) switches, and digital
controls. The rotor has no
magnets or windings; stator poles contain a winding, similar to the field of a dc motor.
In terms of performance, the SR traction motor offers a virtually flat torque curve. This means high torque at low
speeds to minimize stalling, plus consistent power at any speed. The result, says the company, is faster response
to operator inputs, greater digging power, and better overall performance versus mechanical-drive equipment. In
addition, electric drives do away with the need to shift gears, which improves cycle times and reduces operator
fatigue.

STILL is a supplier of a complete range of forklift trucks, platform trucks, tractors, plus the latest warehouse handling equipment
and forward looking services established in 1920. Company employs some 600 persons.
Example: new RX 70 Hybrid
•
STILL Hybrid Trucks in series production
•
The new RX 70 Hybrid takes the next step on the way to low energy consumption and low CO2 emission. The truck has
been devised on the basis of the successful RX 70 diesel truck and is the first hybrid lift truck made in serial production.
•
With the new RX 70 Hybrid STILL will test the market acceptance in field tests with customers.
Technology
•
The new RX 70 is equipped with two energy saving systems.
•
Beside the diesel tank, the truck is equipped with SuperCaps which are installed on the counter weight. These twin layer
capacitors are charged with the energy released during braking. When accelerating, this energy from the capacitors is
used to give an additional boost to move the truck forward.
•
In addition the diesel engine generates electric energy for the drive motor. All systems are combined by the power
electrics which also controls charging and discharging the additional energy storage.
Example: Blue-Q
•
The intelligent auto pilot for economy and ecologic responsibility
•
Blue-Q efficiency mode can be activated when using the STILL machiner: An intelligent adjustment of the motor
characteristics saves energy just there where it is not needed for the work in process
•
10-20% savings of energy targeted

Volvo Construction
•
•
Volvo CE‘s products and services are offered in more than 125 countries through proprietary or
independent dealerships.
Product range includes wheeled and crawler excavators (diggers), articulated haulers (dumpers, dump
trucks), scraper haulers, wheel loaders, pipe layers, demolition equipment, waste handlers, motor graders,
pavers, compactors, milling equipment, tack distributors, road wideners, material transfer vehicles and a
range of compact equipment such as mini loaders, mini excavators, backhoe loaders and skid steer
loaders.
Example: Volvo Construction Equipment-Hybrid loader - Asheville, N.C.,
•
Volvo is developing the L220F Hybrid wheel loader that company officials say will offer more power, better
performance, and the potential to reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%, compared with current versions.
This not only reduces fuel costs but also provides significant environmental benefits — such as lower CO2
emissions.
•
Hybrid concept was presented already in 2008 ConExpo in Las Vegas and production of the hybrid wheel
loaders and the L220F model was expected during 2009 and deliveries planned for 2010.
Technology:
•
Volvo‘s design is a parallel-hybrid system. Both an electric motor and the diesel engine connect to the
mechanical transmission and propel the vehicle. (In a series-hybrid design, on the other hand, the diesel
engine does not connect to the driveline but instead powers an electric generator that feeds electricity to
drive motors.)
•
The heart of the L220F Hybrid is an electric motor called an integrated starter alternator motor (I-SAM).
Fitted between the engine and transmission, the I-SAM is coupled with a lithium-ion battery with a several
hundred watt capacity.
