Electric Construction Machines: Bigger and Better Than Ever Before

Electric Construction Machines: Bigger and Better Than Ever Before

The construction machine industry is still in its early stages of electrification, with the first small electric machine only coming onto the market in 2015. However, IDTechEx's new report, "Electric Vehicles in Construction 2024-2044: Technologies, Players, Forecasts", highlights how the electric machines of today are bigger and better than their predecessors from less than 10 years ago.

Why Tractors Make a Surprisingly Good Fit for Next-Gen Batteries

Why Tractors Make a Surprisingly Good Fit for Next-Gen Batteries

Electrification is tough. It has taken around 15 years to convince car owners that battery power is a viable alternative to their fossil fuel comfort blanket. In the construction, agriculture, and mining industries, electrification is an even steeper uphill battle. In these industries, if a machine runs out of battery, the operators will soon start losing money.

Mining Goes Electric

Mining Goes Electric

Electrics and robotics squares the circle of seeking a wider variety of depleting materials in nastier, more remote places from the seafloor to four kilometres underground, up remote mountains and later outer space. Zero-emission microgrids on-site, sensors everywhere and new information and communications technology lubricate the process.

Robotics is the future of agrochemicals business

Robotics is the future of agrochemicals business

Crop protection, chemicals and robotics at first appear totally unrelated, yet IDTechEx Research finds that steady improvements in agricultural robotics will, slowly but surely, fundamentally alter the crop protection chemicals business.
