Mecalac plans to unveil a full set of medium-sized electric equipment for the urban construction site at Bauma 2022. The new equipment trio consists of the 11-tonne e12 excavator, the 1.3-cubic-yard es1000 swing loader and the 6-tonne eD6 site dumper.

Mecalac will also roll out its new battery-charging system called M-Power at the show October 24-28 in Munich, Germany. Mecalac designed the products to provide a zero-emission, low-noise solution for the urban construction site.

With these complementary products, all earthmoving operations (digging, loading and transporting) can now be carried out with emission-free machines on a scale never before achieved.
