The Intermat 2024 slogan is “low-carbon” - the ideal opportunity for Wacker Neuson to present the extensive zero emission range with approx. 25 construction machines and equipment: from battery-powered rammers through to electric excavators. “This trade fair is an excellent environment in which to present our newest innovations and to impress the visitors with our machines’ quality, efficiency, and ergonomics. We look forward to having numerous conversations in person with customers and trade visitors,” says François Escourrou, Managing Director of Wacker Neuson France. The personal exchange and in-depth conversations with visitors about key areas like electrification, digitization, and innovation are the focus of this year’s trade fair presence by Wacker Neuson in Paris. Within approx. 500 square meters, Wacker Neuson will not only present the zero emission portfolio, but also many other products and solutions, which make everyday working life easier on the construction site.

The emission-free construction site

As a pioneer in the field of battery-powered construction machines, Wacker Neuson has been continually expanding its portfolio since 2013 and, alongside the development of new products, is working on providing for the whole ecosystem of its customers: from the charging infrastructure through services, financial solutions and various exploitation models, to the life-cycle analysis of batteries. An example of how Wacker Neuson is generating charging opportunities is the Charging Box CB250 - the “powerbank” for the construction site. The mobile energy store on the base of lithium-ion batteries enables a continual energy supply and was just recently awarded in France with the Grand Prix Matériel in the category of construction equipment.

One of the newest members to the Wacker Neuson zero emission family is the first, all-electric telehandler TH412e, which enables working in confined spaces without any local exhaust emissions as a result of its compact design of under two times two meters. It can be used, for example, in an underground parking lot or warehouses. Even the new generation of the battery-powered rammer, tried and tested for ten years, can be seen at the trade stand. As with all battery-powered compaction equipment, the rammer is powered by the same powerful Battery One batteries. The Battery One system is standardized and user friendly. It can not only be used in all Wacker Neuson battery-powered, electric equipment, but also in other manufacturers’ construction equipment. This saves on both investment and transportation costs, whilst clearly making construction operation easier.

EW100: a new era of wheeled excavators

Also at the fair stand: the Wacker Neuson EW100 wheeled excavator. The 10-ton wheeled excavator is unique in its class and sets new benchmarks. Intelligent attachment management with tool recognition, a well thought-out human-machine interface, and preparation for diverse assistance systems and interfaces are just a few examples. Operator friendliness and efficiency were a priority during development: As a result of the powerful drive hydraulics and high basic work performance of the EW100, it is possible to complete tasks for which a 14-ton excavator would have to otherwise be used.

Wacker Neuson celebrates 40 years of the mini and compact excavators: 1984-2024

In 1984, Wacker Neuson developed the first hydraulic mini-excavator in the world and with this they created a completely new machine class. Through pioneer spirit and the willpower to develop new technical solutions for construction works, Wacker Neuson manufactured the small hydraulic components necessary for the mini-excavator. As a result, the mini-excavator replaced the time-consuming and laborious tasks performed with a bucket and pickax. To date, innovations like the telescopic travel gear and the upper carriage tilting VDS have set benchmarks within the industry. The current series of Wacker Neuson mini and compact excavators is made up of 20 machines ranging from 800 kilograms to 15 tons in operating weight; included within this are the all-electric mini-excavator EZ17e, and the next-in-size e-model EZ26e, which is expected to be available from the start of 2025.

New Dual View Dumper DV45

With the new model DV45, the electro-hydraulic, rotatable cabin can be rotated by 180° at the press of a button on the joystick. In the Multi-View mode (working with a laterally rotated cabin) the operator has optimal visibility of the lateral work area and can see precisely where they are unloading the material or where the machine is moving along. The automatic skip return automatically brings the cabin back to the starting position at the press of a button, while the operator can concentrate on driving. The integrated hill-hold function, intelligent tilt monitoring, and seatbelt monitoring with optional start release provide additional safety measures. Object monitoring “Active Sense Control” has been made more recently available for the DV45: Where there is danger of a collision it automatically reduces the dumper’s speed, where necessary bringing it to a standstill. The system automatically calculates the route in combination with the speed and immediately activates when an obstacle appears on the collision course.
