Doosan Bobcat T7X
Doosan Bobcat is using electrification to not only reduce emissions in construction but also radically change the operation of compact track loaders, reports Will Gray Construction is not the first industry you think of when it comes to sustainability or electrification. Heavy, power-hungry machines do not immediately suggest the ideal platform for battery-powered performance, yet Bobcat has discovered the opposite, with its new T7X compact track loader outperforming its diesel-powered equivalent in almost every area.

Halevai electric boat
Halevai is on a mission to redefine the recreational marine market, combining an electric powertrain with a trimaran hull, reports Will Gray. It might look like a relatively ordinary recreational day cruiser, but in an industry that is traditionally as slow moving as a heavily loaded tanker, the design of Halevai’s model2050 – which pairs an innovative but highly standard electric powertrain with an ultra-efficient trimaran hull – places it firmly in the ‘ground breaker’ category.

Megawatt Charging
In 2018, the Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN) formed the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) Task Force to develop a robust, scalable and interoperable system for fast charging of electric heavy-duty vehicles. The goal was to meet the growing demand for fast, efficient charging of high-capacity batteries in commercial heavy-duty vehicles.

ELM last-minute delivery truck
ELM Mobility has set itself the ambitious task of redefining last-mile delivery. The vehicle for this redefinition takes the form of a small battery electric truck in the L7e category. Efficiency, low cost and minimal downtime achieved through its robustness, simplicity and ease of maintenance and repair are key design drivers of the project. “Our mission is to lower the cost per delivery and reduce urban environmental impact,” says Carsten Astheimer, the company’s founder and co-CEO

Motor cooling
E-motor cooling technology is evolving rapidly, as Peter Donaldson finds out Discussions on thermal management in electric vehicles (EVs) usually focus on the battery because of the risk and potential consequences of thermal runaway. However, keeping motors comfortable in terms of temperature is also crucial to the performance, reliability, efficiency and longevity of an EV’s powertrain
