Hitachi Construction Machinery NV has launched a new 13-ton battery electric excavator, the ZX135-7EB, designed for 24/7 operation. This zero-emissions equipment is tailored for urban projects with strict noise and emissions regulations. It can be plugged into a reliable power source for continuous operation. The announcement precedes the CONEXPO 2026 trade show in Las Vegas and follows Itochu Corp's increase in its stake in Hitachi Construction Machinery from 20.4% to 33.4%, aimed at expanding in key markets like North America.
