The construction industry is focused on prioritizing sustainability and emission reduction. This shift is set to drive the development and adoption of hybrid and fully electric backhoes. For instance, in March 2023, Huddig unveiled the world's first fully hybrid backhoe, the 1370T, in the U.S. This groundbreaking model boasts a hybrid engine, capable of running solely on electricity for two hours and recharging in just 40 minutes for operation.
These cutting-edge backhoes offer a host of advantages, from lower emissions and noise levels to potentially reduced operating costs. With ongoing advancements, especially in battery technology, hybrid, and electric backhoes are expected to become even more attractive to construction firms aiming to meet stringent environmental benchmarks.
