Wacker Neuson SE: Wacker Neuson Group's zero emission series receives the TÜV Austria seal - Seite 2

"With CO2 savings of up to 93 percent, our zero emission series makes a valuable contribution to achieving climate goals," adds Alexander Greschner. "For our customers, however, there are also totally specific cost advantages: in many countries, using electric machines can save on a CO2 tax that is otherwise incurred. Other states actively support the application of electric construction machines and equipment with awards or preference for tenders from those participants who can ensure lower CO2 emissions." Moreover, there are other advantages: electric motors are significantly more efficient than combustion engines and extremely low-maintenance. This reduces energy and operating costs, and the higher price at procurement is amortized quickly.

Even operators and the immediate surroundings of the construction site benefit from the application of zero emission solutions: they are less stressed, as the machines work very quietly - apart from the sound of the compaction process itself, the electric machines cause very little noise pollution. On the electric Wacker Neuson wheel dumper DW15e, for example, sound levels were reduced by more than 20 decibels to 60 decibels dB(A)** in comparison with a conventional model, which is roughly equivalent to normal room volume. Moreover, no soil contamination occurs, e.g. when filling the tank, which is a big advantage, for example, in water protection areas. Operating zero emission machines is easy and intuitive, and full performance is immediately available - for a whole average workday long, without recharging.

*The TÜV Austria certification includes the models AS30e, AS50e, AS60e, AP1840e, AP1850e, AP2560e, ACBe with IEe38/IEe45/IEe58, WL20e, Weidemann 1160e, Kramer 5055e and KL25.5e, DT10e, DW15e, EZ17e and 803 Dual Power.

**Emission sound pressure level (LpA): This specifies the sound level of the equipment at the working area directly assigned to it, for example in the cabin or in the operator's cab.
