In response to the growing demand for electric equipment to work on low or zero-emission job sites, Hitachi presents its new five-tonne battery-powered excavator. The ZX55U-6EB is the first Hitachi-branded model in this class, and follows on from the success of the eight-tonne ZE85 electric excavator. It draws on the company’s rich heritage as an electrical company, and its experience and expertise in producing wired ultra-large excavators to mines around the world.
With the ZX55U-6EB, we take one step further on the road to zero emissions – an irreversible path that must lead to sustainable, low-carbon societies. And it underlines our commitment to minimising the environmental impact of our equipment and creating a sustainable future for all.
