Already heavily involved in the design of equipment in the field of energy conversion, EFS participated in the project of a fully electric mini-excavator.The result of a partnership with a large automotive group and a team of six partners, this project aims to design and develop a 100% electric mini-excavator, optimized for minimal energy consumption.
The EFS design office took care of the electrical energy conversion part and produced two perfectly adapted equipment: a 3 kW charger for 420 V- 700 V high voltage battery and a 1.5 kW low voltage converter 16-30V.
The results obtained have fully met customer expectations:
-
same performance levels as a traditional mini-excavator equipped with a Diesel engine,
-
same levels of effort, speed and useful power Reduced noise and pollution , a reduction in operating costs were a consequence of the proposed solution.
