Hamm Unveils HX 70e Electric Tandem Roller for Sustainable Road Building

Battery-powered HX 70e delivers full compaction output, fast charging, and quiet operation for inner-city construction sites.  www.wirtgen-group.comFull compaction power, zero local emissions: The HX 70e pivot-steered tandem rollers deliver the same compaction power as the diesel-powered models of the HX series. More powerful drive, fast charging, quiet operation Hamm’s HX 70e makes use of tried-and-tested components, such as the 400 volt Li-ion battery from Kreisel with a capacity of 63 kWh. The machine is charged via a Type 2 connector, with other charging options such as Type 1, J1772 and CCS also to be added. With the fast charge option, the battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in under an hour. Owing to the electrical components, the battery-powered electric tandem rollers are not only quieter but also more efficient in operation than their diesel-driven counterparts. This is especially true of the models with the oscillation drum. Here, the already low noise of oscillation is combined with the quiet electric drive, making the machines the perfect choice for use in vibration-sensitive and noise-sensitive environments, such as within the vicinity of hospitals or historical buildings. Very comparable with diesel-powered rollers The new HX 70e tandem rollers deliver the same compaction power as the diesel-engined machines but in fact produces a higher output at their peak. The battery-powered electric rollers are operated in virtually the exact same way as the conventional diesel counterparts, with the only difference being the display, which now features new symbols to give operators an intuitive user experience. Easy maintenance, low operating costs Another added benefit of the new battery-powered electric tandem rollers is their lower maintenance requirement. With the electrical components of the high-voltage system having long maintenance intervals and not requiring the same maintenance requirements as machines with diesel engines, operators benefit from low operating costs. When it comes to matters of servicing and maintenance, customers and users can rely on the same service quality they have come to expect of the Wirtgen Group. Another plus point: Just like the diesel-powered machines, the new models can also be connected to the John Deere Operations Center. www.wirtgen-group.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
