The construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation towards sustainability and eco-friendliness by embracing greener power solutions. The upcoming edition of bauma in 2025 will shine a spotlight on alternative drive technologies, showcasing the industry's shift away from traditional diesel engines. Major players like Volvo Group and Strabag SE have set ambitious goals for decarbonisation, with plans to deliver only fossil-free vehicles and achieve full climate neutrality by 2040. Electric motors are increasingly being adopted in construction equipment, with electric-powered excavators, wheel loaders, and other machinery becoming prominent features in eco-friendly portfolios. The market for electric construction machinery is projected to soar, reaching US$105bn by 2042 according to IDTechEx. Companies are also exploring innovative solutions such as the Bobcat RogueX2 concept loader, an all-electric and autonomous machine that received recognition at the Red Dot Design Awards. The industry is also looking into alternative fuels like hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), biodiesel, biogas, and e-fuels to decarbonize construction sites. Moreover, the development and testing of hydrogen-powered construction machinery are gaining traction, with Liebherr Components presenting hydrogen combustion engine prototypes and announcing series production for 2025. Collaboration between General Motors and Komatsu on a hydrogen fuel cell module for electric dump trucks, as well as Komatsu's hydrogen fuel cell hydraulic excavator concept, highlight the industry's commitment to sustainable practices and innovation.
