Belgian scoop: first electric Ammann roller eARX 26-2 at BESIX Infra

BESIX Infra becomes the proud owner of the very first all-electric Ammann roller eARX 26-2 in Belgium.

The distinctive specifications of the Ammann roller eARX 26-2 are:

A 48 Volt LiFePO4 battery with a capacity of 600 Ah/31.5 kW for propulsion and vibration.
Guaranteed autonomy of at least 8 hours.
Recuperation of electrical power during operations.
Easy charging by a standard 50 Amp charging system (12 hours) or an optional 200 Amp external charger (3.5 hours)

The machine stands out from other machines due to the absence of a combustion engine and hydraulic components, resulting in low maintenance and higher environmental sustainability. These features were decisive for us to choose this machine.

Director

By investing in sustainable machines and technologies that reduce the negative impact of road construction, we are playing a pioneering role in the road construction sector. With the purchase of this electric roller, we are proving that sustainability and progress can go hand in hand in our industry.

Anyone wishing to take a closer look at the all-electric roller can visit MATEXPO from 6 to 10 September at Kortrijk Xpo, where the machine will be exhibited on the Luyckx stand. Afterwards, we will put the roller into operation on our sites. We are already looking forward to it!
