. . . With the proven Mecalac 12MTX as a base frame, this version is the first compact wheeled excavator powered entirely by electricity. Featuring Spicer 112 axles and a Spicer 367 shift-on-fly transmission, the two-motor Mecalac e12 wheeled excavator can deliver the range, performance, and compact size required to support modern urban construction sites. . . .
The Mecalac e12 uses a 146 kWh LiFePO4 battery pack, which provides an 8-hour “range”; the batteries can be charged in approximately seven hours.
Dana has a long history of developing drivetrain systems for hybrid and electric vehicle architectures. The company also offers patented battery and electronic cooling technologies, along with fuel-cell technology. In addition, Dana engineers had extensive experience with this particular application because the diesel-powered version of this vehicle also features Spicer drivetrain components.
