Other governments proactively support the use of electric machines through incentives or by favouring contractors who promise lower CO₂ emissions in tenders .”

Wacker Neuson presented the world ’ s first batterypowered rammer back in 2014 , marking the first product in its zero-emission range . Today , the portfolio has grown to include seven construction equipment products ( rammers , vibratory plates , and internal vibrators ), all of which can be powered by the same battery . To this day , Wacker Neuson offers the market ’ s widest portfolio of battery-powered construction equipment for professional users and further products will be added to this range in the near future .

Wacker Neuson currently offers two interchangeable batteries for construction equipment with power capacities of 1 000 Wh and 1 400 Wh . No comparable interchangeable batteries in this power class are available on the market to-date . One standardised battery for machines from different vendors simplifies work on construction sites in a number of ways . Customers only have to organise and transport a single system instead of multiple batteries and chargers . User uncertainty regarding battery / equipment compatibility is a thing of the past . A uniform charging structure and rapid setup of a charging management system make day-to-day life on construction sites easier and increases acceptance levels for this technology . “ We are committed to offering practical , strictly customer-centric solutions . Our customers appreciate the freedom to use products from different manufacturers , and they also expect this freedom with battery-powered equipment ,” says Stefan Pfetsch . “ We are now delivering on this need while also driving more widespread adoption of future-proof electric products .”
