Sustainable urban development is part of the new frontier of green solutions that are improving our environment. Urban spaces are unique. From the dense populations to the heat island effect, urban construction is a tricky business with its own individual needs. What Is Sustainable Urban Development? The idea behind the principles of sustainable urban development are fairly straightforward: Build cities…
HEVI introduced the first all-electric industrial heavy equipment commercially available in the United States. The company’s product line of earth-moving equipment weighs as much as 40,000 lbs. As a result, large lithium batteries are used to power its equipment such as electric front loaders, electric excavators and electric forklifts. These lithium batteries will last for over ten years of operation.…
When it comes to heavy equipment, operator health and safety is a huge concern. In 2020 alone, there were 1,008 fatalities amongst construction workers. Between the large machinery, dangerous heights, and exposed materials, jobsites that utilize heavy equipment can be very dangerous. Even in agriculture, where there’s more space and potentially fewer machines, injury and even death are still common…
When you see electric heavy electric equipment at work, it can be easy to forget how truly different they can be when compared with diesel.

Carbon Emissions Impact Industry at Large It’s generally the Transportation sector that produces the highest levels of carbon emissions, accounting for 27% of all GHG emissions in the United States in 2020. The Industrial sector, however, is not far behind with 24% of the total contributed GHG emissions across the nation. The main difference in these industries right now is…
While developing the nation’s first line of all-electric full-size heavy equipment, one of the first decisions was selecting an EV charging connector. Though all EVs must be charged, not every EV charger is the same. Our heavy equipment would face some of the same charging challenges as electric vehicles. Each charging station has its own specifications. And, there’s a variety…
