New Holland Construction Adds Electric Mini Excavator, Mini Track Loader to Portfolio

Two new machines are joining the portfolio at Pennsylvanian equipment firm New Holland Construction, as the company announced the launch of the E25X Electric Mini Excavator and C314X Electric Mini Track Loader Feb. 26.

The new fully electric machines will make their debut at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March 3-7 in Las Vegas.

The duo of new machines promise zero on-site emissions, allowing contractors to work indoors, as well as environmentally-sensitive locations. Additionally, the lack of a traditional engine — in exchange for a 102V lithium-ion battery — massively cuts down on noise pollution and overall machine maintenance.

“At the end of the day, contractors need machines that help them get more done, and electric equipment gives them that greater flexibility,” says Jake Sickels, product marketing manager for New Holland Construction North America. “We designed the E25X and C314X, so customers don’t have to rethink their workflow. These solutions eliminate obstacles related to emissions and noise that contractors often face, enabling them to take on a broader range of projects.”

In addition to elevating machine performance through electrification, the new machines both come standard with a seven-year telematics subscription through the company’s myNewHollandConstruction app.

“What excites us most is the ability to reach customers we haven’t traditionally served, especially those operating in highly regulated environments,” Sickels says. “Now, we can bring them into the New Holland Construction family with machines, technology and a dealer network that meets their unique operation goals without sacrificing capability or performance.”

Electric Specs

Weighing approximately 5,200 lbs and offering a dig depth of up to eight feet, the E25X comes equipped with an onboard 240V one-phase charging system, New Holland representatives say.

The E25X is compatible with a variety of New Holland Construction attachments, the firm says, including hydraulic hammers, breakers, and mechanical thumbs, among others.

“The (E25X) features electro-hydraulic (EH) controls with Eco, Standard and Power modes, allowing operators to tailor performance to the task at hand,” the company adds. “Available in both ROPS and enclosed cab with heat option, the E25X offers excellent visibility for the operator. Adjustable responsiveness settings enhance precision in confined areas, while a two-way blade with float improves grading capability.”

For the C314X, the company built on the “proven design” of its existing mini track loader products, it says. Much like its traditionally-powered counterpart, the all-electric machine is available in both narrow and wide-track configurations.

The electric C314X charges in about eight hours and has a 23.5 kWh gross capacity, according to New Holland Construction officials. The company adds that it comes equipped with Eco, Standard, and Power motor speed settings, allowing operators to “balance efficiency and performance based on the attachment in use.”

“The C314X is gaining popularity in the landscaping and arborist markets, where sustainable tree care practices are already a focus,” officials say. “Contractors can manage site work and tree removal with a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional diesel engines. In addition, the machine’s zero on-site emissions and low-noise operation make it an ideal solution for greenhouse applications, allowing crews to work indoors without compromising plant health or growing conditions.”
