In late 2020, JCB announced the expansion of its E-TECH range of zero-emissions vehicles. This included the launch of the company’s first electric Loadall telescopic handler, a new electric site dumper, as well as offering a fully glazed cab on the 19C-IE electric mini excavator. In addition, JCB has developed a new rapid Universal Charger which is compatible with current and future E-TECH electric machines.
“The pace of change is rapid, and we need to be equally quick in responding to the growing environmental challenge posed by climate change and the need to improve air quality,” said Tim Burnhope, Chief Innovation Officer at JCB, during the company’s virtual launch event for the new products. As such, the company has placed an emphasis on developing clean technologies in the form of electric-powered equipment and near zero-emission diesel engines.
