Cummins announces partnership with Hyundai

Cummins Inc. and Hyundai Construction Equipment announced Monday they have jointly developed an electric powered mini excavator.

Based on the long-term productive partnership of the companies, HCE and Cummins agreed to collaborate on the design and development of electric powered mini excavators for this market. The 3.5-ton excavator is designed to operate for a full eight-hour shift and charge in under three hours. The machine eliminates all gaseous emissions and substantially reduces noise, making it ideal for use in urban and sub-urban construction.
