Terex Advance will introduce its first all-electric mixer at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, at the show's outdoor booth (#S5435). The all-electric option is available on the Terex Advance Mini-Mix range, which was launched in 2022 to support ready mixer producers and contractors with a small volume mixer for short loads or tight spaces.
"This is the first of our foray into zero-emission concrete mixer trucks as we strive to reduce our carbon footprint and provide highly efficient concrete delivery trucks to support the growing needs of our expanding customer base," says Dave Grabner, general manager of Terex Advance.
Terex Advance has combined Viatec SmartPTO technology with International eMV Series electric chassis from Navistar to bring the electric concrete delivery system to market.
"As configured on a 33,000 GVWR International eMV Series electric chassis, the barrel carrying capacity is three cubic yards of concrete. Coupled with the Viatec SmartPTO, this provides an approximate 135-mile range and up to two pour cycles between charges," explains Grabner. "Not only does our electric mini mixer produce zero carbon emissions, but it also operates at a very low noise level."
"Navistar is committed to a zero-emission future, and we proudly support Terex in their leadership of electric vehicle adoption," says Debbie Shust, vice president of medium-duty truck business at Navistar. "This partnership demonstrates the success of collaboration and technology integration in the vocational space to provide an electric concrete mixer that offers customers the performance they need while they work to meet their own sustainability goals."
"We're excited to meet with our customers at CONEXPO and thrilled to be launching our first all-electric mixer at the show," Grabner says. "Terex is proud to be a leader with EVs in the utilities and construction markets. Our all-electric products are prime examples of how our future product road maps will provide alternative energy options in support of the sustainability goals of our customers and the communities in which our equipment operate."
