Why are sales of electric loaders rising?
Electric loaders are more popular in the market
Why are sales of electric loaders rising? In recent years, the electrification development speed of the construction machinery industry has exceeded many people’s expectations. Electric loaders are rapidly gaining market recognition with their advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, and economy. The monthly sales of electric loaders have become the norm. From 1,160 units in 2022 to 3,595 units in 2023, and then to 11,587 units in 2024, it has accounted for more than 10% of the total sales of loaders, becoming an important development direction! Since 2024, the penetration rate has exceeded 10%, indicating that the construction machinery industry is significantly transforming towards electrification and intelligence. Enterprises are competing for layout, and more and more manufacturers and user companies are accelerating the transformation to full electrification, and the product spectrum is constantly enriching.
Why electric loaders are popular
Huge economic cost advantage
Construction machinery equipment with electricity as the main power output mode has lower comprehensive operating costs. Let’s take a steel company in Xinjiang as an example: A steel company in Xinjiang purchased 12 electric loaders from 2022. In two years, these 12 electric loaders have accumulated more than 120,000 hours of working time. Considering the comprehensive electricity price and power consumption, the electricity fee per vehicle per hour does not exceed 30 yuan, which saves a lot of costs for this steel company.
The technology of electric loaders is improving
Taking XCMG’s electric loader as an example, the average daily operating time of each loader is 20 hours. The whole machine is equipped with a double-gun fast charge, which can be charged quickly under the condition of ensuring safety. The driver can be fully charged and continue to work during the shift handover and rest time. It can adapt to the operating requirements of high-intensity industries such as power plants and steel plants.
Support from national policies
For the protection of resources and the environment, countries around the world have continuously strengthened the importance of energy-saving and emission reduction policies. my country encourages the development of new energy engineering machinery through policy subsidies. Under the joint regulation of the market and the country. The market for electric loaders is bound to grow, and manufacturers will inevitably invest more in electric engineering machinery.
At the same time, domestic electric construction machinery faces many challenges if it wants to further expand the world market. First, the economic benefits of enterprises in the mining and construction industries have shrunk, and the terminal has less demand for overall construction machinery. Second, domestic electric construction machinery equipment cannot adapt to some extreme environmental conditions in other countries, and the manufacturing technology of the equipment itself needs to be developed to cope with it.
