Electric Worksite begins testing electric construction machines in Gothenburg

24 September 2021

The testing of electric work machines within the Electric Worksite project are now underway. In September, the tests began with an electric compact crawler excavator and an electric compact wheel loader in Färjenäsparken in Gothenburg, where the City Park and Nature Administration is constructing a park by the Göta Älv. In the near future, more tests will follow in urban environments, as a first step in a large system demonstration. Everything from the logistics around the machines to the actual maneuvering and power supply issues, will be tested to get important data for larger demonstrations in the future.
