Huddig launches HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 – the next generation of Tigon Technology

• Huddig launches the HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 featuring a nearly 40% larger battery capacity, enabling longer electric operation and better energy recovery.

• The new generation supports more equipment options, enhancing versatility for construction, utility, and railroad tasks.

• Real-world data from the previous generation informed development, showing significant diesel savings and CO₂ reduction.

• Integration with the Huddig Echo fleet management system allows comprehensive machine monitoring and improved operational planning.

Huddig will launch the next generation of HUDDIG TIGON. With greater battery capacity, more equipment options and a new connected platform, the concept has been further developed in several key areas.

Technology that advances Huddig’s entire product range

As with previous technological advances throughout Huddig’s history, the work with Tigon Technology is generating new knowledge and innovative solutions. These experiences will contribute to the continued development of the entire HUDDIG 1370 platform – for both hybrid and hydrostatic machines.

“HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 represents an important step in Huddig’s continued development. We build machines that meet our customers’ high expectations for performance, efficiency and flexibility. At the same time, we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the working day for everyone operating and working around the machine. With the new TIGON generation, we are combining our extensive experience in excavator loaders with continued technological development and electrification. We are also advancing how we will build our machines in the future,” says Håkan Bäckström, CEO of Huddig.

Real-world machine data drives development

HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 builds on the experience gained from the first series-produced generation. Four years of customer feedback, collected machine data and practical experience from machines in operation have provided Huddig with valuable input.

The existing HUDDIG TIGON fleet consists of 41 machines with a combined total of 96,306 operating hours. Machine data shows that they have operated on electric power for 56.68 percent of their working time and saved an estimated 531,621 liters of diesel. This is equivalent to approximately 1,372 metric tons of CO₂.

“With almost 100,000 hours of real-world operation, we have had an excellent foundation for our development work. The larger battery makes it possible to work on electric power for even longer, and we therefore expect HUDDIG TIGON G2 to improve these figures further,” says Daniel Åkerström, Design Engineer at Huddig.

A larger battery provides more time on electric power

One of the most significant new features of HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 is its new battery. Capacity has increased from 44 to 61 kWh – an increase of nearly 40 percent.

The greater capacity does more than provide additional available energy. It also allows the machine to recover and store significantly more energy during operation, including energy generated when braking or traveling downhill.

The battery operates optimally within a range of approximately 20–80 percent. With the greater capacity, considerably more usable energy is now available within this operating range. The result is more time on electric power, more efficient energy recovery and fewer charging cycles over time.

More possibilities with the same machine

HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 can be equipped for an even wider range of applications. The new generation is compatible with more of Huddig’s equipment portfolio, including the Loader Coupled Crane (LCC), Huddig’s new Radio Control system for the machine (RC), LIFT Type II and LIFT 2200C, which can also be equipped with RC and an insulated work platform (LWI).

This makes the machine even more flexible and suitable for a wider range of applications – from traditional construction work to utility and railroad operations.

“For contractors, it is about being able to do more with the same machine. The combination of longer electric operation and more equipment options makes HUDDIG TIGON G2 even more versatile, providing greater freedom to adapt the machine to each assignment. Electric operation can also offer a clear competitive advantage in applications where low emissions and low noise levels are becoming increasingly important,” says Daniel Myrgren, Sales and Marketing Director at Huddig.

Connected with Huddig Echo

HUDDIG 1370 TIGON G2 is also prepared for Huddig Echo – Huddig’s fleet management system for operators and machine owners.

The new web app brings machine information together in one place, including operating data, machine status, fuel level and a complete overview of the entire fleet.

This provides better opportunities to monitor machines, plan the working day and gain a clearer understanding of how they are being used. Over time, the system will also offer more ways to interact directly with the machines.
