The Challenge

You already have a machine that works perfectly well but you need an electric solution in your fleet. Your current machine is still robust and able to work for many hours more.

By retrofitting an electric engine into your current machine you have recycled your fleet and saved the replacement cost. Kubota has developed an electric retrofit kit solution for KX019-4 mini-excavators, available for new and used models.

Solution

Electric Retrofit kit

By replacing the combustion engine block with an electrification system, rental companies, public works companies, local authorities, farms, etc. can support the ecological transition by carrying out decarbonised work with zero CO2 emissions and quieter operation.

Thanks to a controlled total cost of ownership, there is no increase in the cost of worksites, making the solution both ecologically and economically viable.

The machine carries on working the same as it did before.
