Construction machinery, such as excavators, is notorious for being inefficient, swallowing vast amounts of diesel, very little of which is converted to productive work. The construction industry accounted for a total of 20% of global energy-related carbon emissions in 2020. Today, the solutions are already there to drastically improve fuel efficiency in heavy construction machines, while more compact machines can be fully electrified.
