Develon, formerly known as Doosan Construction Equipment, is introducing a new range of electric excavators aimed at supporting the transition to cleaner, quieter and more sustainable construction.
The first model – a DX160WE-7 wheeled excavator – will be shown at the TKD Fair from 12-14 June 2025 at Ratelaar Sint-Oedenrode in the Netherlands.
The company said this marks an important step in DEVELON’s European roadmap for zero-emission machinery. The new machines are based on DEVELON’s established platforms, known for their reliability, power and comfort.
In this project, DEVELON has collaborated with Netherlands-based ETEC Zero Emission to integrate electric drivetrains into several DEVELON models, ensuring performance remains high, while emissions drop to zero.
Electric versions of popular models
The line-up includes multiple electrified DEVELON machines: the DX160WE-7 wheeled excavator, and two crawler excavators based on the DX225LC-7 platform. Customers can choose from battery options, including extended range packs that allow for a full day of work without recharging.
Purpose-driven collaboration
To develop this electric line, DEVELON worked closely with ETEC, a specialist in electric drive systems for mobile machinery.
ETEC’s experience in energy storage and electric platforms supported the integration, while DEVELON remained responsible for product direction, branding and customer interface.
