Infra Engineers India Pvt. Ltd. (IEPL) has been a trusted player in the used construction and mining equipment industry for nearly a decade. IEPL is dedicated to thoroughly analysing industry needs and delivering innovative solutions tailored to meet them. In line with this commitment, IEPL proudly introduces its “Dual Electric & Diesel Hybrid Excavator.”

•  Attributes: This model is equipped with versatile dual power options, offering both Diesel Mode and Electric Mode for enhanced flexibility and efficiency.

•  Diesel Mode: Ideal for areas without electricity or where mobility is needed.

•  Electric Mode: Perfect for locations with available power.

Operating Principles: The excavator is designed with both an electric motor and a diesel engine, enabling operators to effortlessly switch between power sources at the push of a button directly from the cabin. This advanced setup offers outstanding flexibility, allowing seamless adaptation to diverse site demands with utmost convenience.

Cost Effectiveness: Utilizing Electric Mode can substantially lower operating expenses, as electricity costs are only 25% of the diesel expenses, resulting in remarkable cost efficiency. For a 20-ton excavator:

•  Diesel usage: Consumes 12-15 litres per hour, costing around INR 1,500 per hour.

•  Electricity: Costs just INR 375-400 per hour.

Over 400 hours of operation in a month:

•  Diesel cost: INR 6,00,000

•  Electricity cost: INR 1,50,000

This results in impressive monthly savings of INR 4,50,000 to INR 5,00,000, along with reduced maintenance needs, as engine oil changes and filter replacements are no longer required.

Investment: In diesel operation, daily fuel investments are required, whereas in Electric Mode, electricity costs are incurred only on a monthly basis, offering more streamlined cost savings.

Key Advantages of Electric Excavators:

•  Lower Operating Costs

•  Increased Productivity

•  Reduced Maintenance

•  Zero Emissions

•  Lower Noise Levels

•  Improved Operator Comfort

Applications of Hybrid Excavators:

•  Urban Construction: Ideal for urban projects with stringent emission regulations and noise control requirements.

•  Mining and Quarrying: Efficient for heavy-duty excavation, reducing fuel costs.

•  Indoor Work: Ideal for enclosed spaces like tunnels and demolition sites, where zero emissions improve air quality.

•  Long-Term Projects: For projects lasting months or years, hybrid machines offer huge fuel savings and no emissions over time.

Future of Dual Electric & Diesel Hybrid Excavator:

Diesel excavators continue to be popular for heavy-duty tasks and remote projects, while electric excavators are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for urban and regulated areas due to their lower operating costs and zero emissions. IEPL has introduced a dual-powered solution, combining the advantages of both modes in a single machine. In the long term, this innovative product is expected to meet strong market demand and deliver substantial value.
