An intermediary holding company, Hyundai Genuine, has been established, following the purchase in August of Doosan Infracore, by Hyundai Heavy Industries Group. Doosan Infracore has since been renamed Hyundai-Doosan Infracore. Hyundai Construction Equipment and Hyundai-Doosan Infracore will continue to operate under their own management systems, competing as sister companies within the global equipment market.
The electrical charge powers an electric e-pump, which in turn drives the excavator’s hydraulic system. In addition, it has an e-swing slew motor, an e-Thermal Management System and an Auto sleep setting, to maximise efficiency in operation. The excavator boasts a full electronic hydraulic control system, allowing the operator to customise each hydraulic function to match the task and increase efficiency. The HX230e offers performance similar to a conventional diesel-powered machine of the same weight, but with zero emissions at the tailpipe and a lower operating noise level.
This will become increasingly important as major cities across the world impose increasingly stringent emissions regulations on off-highway equipment over the coming years. Many contractors and equipment rental businesses are already calling upon manufacturers to offer an alternative to diesel power for their machinery.
Hyundai Construction Equipment is committed building a sustainable construction site, through its rapidly expanding line of electrified and hydrogen-powered machinery. The HX230e is expected to reach production by the end of 2027
