While electric construction equipment still represents a small portion of the overall market in most areas, progressive regions like the Benelux and Nordic countries are rapidly advancing. Government mandates, regulatory frameworks and public demand in these areas have already driven a significant shift towards electrification.
In response to this rapidly expanding demand, Develon (formerly Doosan Construction Equipment) is advancing a bold strategy to deliver a significantly broadened portfolio of electric-powered excavators, enabling customers to transition quickly and efficiently from diesel to zero-emission machines.
Built on the same robust platforms that contractors and operators know and trust, the new electric machines deliver identical performance to their diesel counterparts. At the same time, they introduce a new level of sustainability, efficiency, and operator comfort to the jobsite.
Following successful projects across the Netherlands and in the Scandinavian countries, Develon is confident in the maturity of the technology and its readiness for broader introduction.
The expansion of the electric range recognises the urgency and potential of the European market, particularly its leadership in this area.
Built on the company’s proven ‘-7 Series’ platform, the first wave of electric machines covers key segments across both compact and mid-size classes.
The initial lineup includes:
- Electric Mini Excavators - DX20ZE-7, DX23E-7, DX85RE-7
- Electric Wheeled Excavators (10-20 tonne class) - DX100WE-7, DX160WE-7K
- Electric Crawler Excavators (20 tonne class and above) - DX230LCE-7, DX250LCE-7
The expanded electric lineup will be introduced in phases to support a smooth market rollout. The DX160WE-7 electric wheeled excavator and the DX230LCE-7 and DX250LCE-7 electric crawler excavators will be commercially available by the end of this year, enabling customers to deploy zero-emission machines in key segments
