Liebherr is dampening expectations for rapid electrification in the construction machinery sector. While cars are increasingly running on electricity, the manufacturer sees significantly more complex technical challenges for excavators and cranes. High performance requirements, long operating times without charging options, and the lack of suitable battery systems for heavy machinery are delaying the transition. For you as a construction contractor, this means: diesel remains the most economical solution in the medium term – when purchasing new equipment, continue planning with conventional drives and instead optimize your fuel consumption through partial load management and modern engine technology.
