The First 100% Electric Hydraulic Excavator in Brazil, Equipped by the Giant WEG, Weighs 37 Tons and Can Be Operated via Remote Control

Weighing 37 tons, the new hydraulic excavator developed by Grupo AIZ, a manufacturer of machinery, road and agricultural implements, features the WEG Powertrain electric system, which consists of a frequency inverter and an electric motor that delivers up to 185kW of power. The announcement was made on April 26, by the multinational WEG, one of the leaders in manufacturing turbines and electric motors.

In addition to the Powertrain, WEG also provided the Lithium battery pack (LFP type), which will have a swapping system that allows for quick battery replacement for charging, not requiring long stops during operation.

“The AIZ Group is tirelessly working towards the decarbonization of the yellow line in Brazil. Our mission is not just to offer a product, but to be part of the development of a more sustainable future for agribusiness,” emphasizes Alberto Ivan Zakidalski, CEO of the AIZ Group.

One of the Largest Manufacturers of Turbines and Electric Motors in the World Enters the Battery Market in Brazil

Traditionally a supplier of electric traction systems for buses, trucks, trolleybuses, trains, ships, and vessels, as well as charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, WEG recently announced the start of battery pack production in Brazil and this supply for the AIZ Group is one of the first made by the company.

“For WEG, productivity, efficiency, and sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why we are expanding our scope for sustainable mobility in Brazil and strengthening the production chain both in cities and in the countryside. There is always room to improve processes and create new opportunities,” explains Manfred Peter Johann, General Director of WEG Automation.

The new 100% electric excavator will be launched this week at Agrishow, the leading agricultural fair, which takes place in Ribeirão Preto/SP from April 25 to 29.

With more than 1,400 employees, the AIZ Group develops equipment that ranges from manipulators, cranes, amphibious machines, road and agricultural implements, parts, customization of machines, as well as renting for various segments. The company also stands out for being a pioneer in uncrewed remote operation, an innovation in the Brazilian market.
