Hitachi and Dimaag to Introduce 1.7-Tonne Electric Excavator
Hitachi has partnered with Dimaag, a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of off-road EV solutions, to jointly introduce a 1.7-ton electric excavator. The electric excavator is expected to be completed in December, with the official unveiling set to take place at Bauma 2025. Hitachi aims to commercially launch the product in Europe by 2027. A spokesperson for Hitachi confirmed that the excavator would eventually be released in North America, but no dates have been set yet. Hitachi currently offers its 5.8-ton ZX55U-6EB and 9.6-ton ZX85-6EB electric excavators in the European market.
Dimaag鈥檚 Electric No Compromise Off-Road Ecosystem 鈥� or 鈥淓NCORE鈥� - will be integrated into Hitachi鈥檚 1.7-ton excavator. The ENCORE system is composed of Dimaag鈥檚 swappable battery modules, thermal management system, inverters, motors, power electronics and software for off-road electric equipment, as well as the charging stations. Hitachi will provide technical information on the base machine and specification requirements for the electrification.
Ian Wright, vice president of engineering at Dimaag, said, 鈥淒imaag鈥檚 ENCORE technology has been deployed across multiple prototype off-road vehicles to validate our design intent of no compromise on safety, all-day performance, and affordability. We are honored to partner with Hitachi Construction Machinery to be a pioneer and enable economies of scale for the ENCORE tech stack. This partnership marks a significant step towards achieving electrification of agricultural and construction machinery, with no compromises.
