What is the driving force behind the import of electric small excavators in Europe and the United States

1 Strict environmental regulations: Europe and the United States attach great importance to environmental protection, and have formulated strict emission standards and environmental regulations, such as the European Union’s non-road mobile machinery emission standards. Traditional fuel small excavators emit more pollutants, while electric small excavators with zero or low emissions can better meet these regulatory requirements, and are therefore favoured.
2 The concept of sustainable development is deeply rooted in people’s hearts: the environmental awareness of enterprises and the public is constantly improving, and they are more inclined to choose environmentally friendly equipment. The use of electric small excavators helps to reduce the carbon footprint and is in line with the concept of sustainable development, so it is more popular in the market.
3 Strong and stable power: electric small excavators have large motor torque and stable power output, which can meet the needs of various complex working conditions, such as digging, crushing, drilling and other heavy-duty operations, and their work efficiency is no less than that of traditional fuel small excavators.
High operational flexibility: electric small excavators usually have a compact body design, can work flexibly in narrow spaces, suitable for urban construction, interior decoration and other scenes. And its operation is simple and convenient, reducing the labour intensity of operators.
4 Low-noise operation: electric small excavators produce very little noise during operation and do not cause noise pollution to the surrounding environment, which is especially suitable for construction in noise-sensitive areas such as residential areas, hospitals and schools.
Remarkable cost-effectiveness
5 Lower acquisition cost: With the continuous development and maturity of electric vehicle technology, the cost of batteries and other key components is gradually decreasing, which makes the manufacturing cost of electric small excavators also decreasing. Compared with traditional fuel small excavators, the price gap is gradually reduced, and even more cost-effective in some cases.
Low operating costs: the cost of electric excavators mainly includes electricity and battery maintenance costs. Compared with fuel small excavators, their energy consumption costs are significantly reduced, as electricity is usually much cheaper than fuel. And the maintenance of electric small excavators is relatively simple, without the need for regular replacement of oil, filters and other parts.
Strong policy support
6 Government subsidies and incentives: In order to encourage the use of electric equipment, the governments of Europe and the United States have introduced a series of subsidies and incentives, such as purchase subsidies, tax incentives, free parking and so on. These policy measures reduce the cost of users to buy and use electric small excavators, and improve their market competitiveness.
7 Infrastructure construction support: the government has increased investment in infrastructure construction such as charging piles, which provides convenient conditions for charging electric small excavators.
8 Battery technology improvement: the battery is the core component of the electric small excavator, in recent years the battery technology continues to progress, the energy density is improved, the range is enhanced. The research and development and application of new batteries, so that the range of electric small excavators can meet the daily needs of most users.
Electric small excavator with its environmental protection, performance advantages, cost-effectiveness, policy support and technological progress and other aspects of the advantages, in Europe and the United States has been widely used and rapid development, and has become a new favourite in the field of building construction, municipal engineering and other areas. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and market expansion, electric small excavators are expected to be more widely promoted and applied worldwide.
