See how Perkins, with more than 90+ years of experience in the off-highway industry, puts a battery-electric wheeled loader through its paces as part of its ongoing work to help customers navigate the energy transition. With rigorous testing for reliability, customer confidence, and similar user experience to diesel engines, the project also looked at the design, functionality, various charging scenarios, and the importance of telematics

Can a battery really perform like an engine? We put this question to the test with a real-life working machine to explore the potential role of electrification in powering machinery. Perkins engineers undertook the ambitious project of converting a 75 kW diesel-powered telehandler into a hybrid machine, utilising a Perkins 48V battery system to enable electric-only operation.
