Emission-free solutions
For the construction industry
In construction, sustainability is becoming increasingly important. New laws and regulations, such as the Clean and Emission-Free Building (SEB), set increasingly stringent requirements for CO2 emissions. Whether you work in residential construction, commercial construction, or civil engineering, our compact electric tractors offer a powerful and future-proof solution for emission-free work. Thanks to our electric tractors, you can perform earthmoving, demolition and infrastructure projects without emissions, and without sacrificing power or efficiency.
The benefits of electric tractors
for the construction industry
Sustainable and emission-free operations
By transitioning to electric-powered machines, you not only meet SEB’s stringent requirements, but also actively contribute to a cleaner environment. Our electric tractors are completely emission-free and use renewable energy sources, helping to drastically reduce emissions during construction projects.
Lower maintenance and energy costs
Electric tractors have fewer moving parts than their diesel counterparts. This results in lower maintenance costs and longer intervals between servicing. In addition, energy costs are significantly lower, providing substantial long-term savings.
Flexibly deployable and powerful enough for the toughest jobs
Our electric compact tractors are small enough for precise work in urban areas, but powerful enough for heavy ground work. Whether you’re moving soil, hauling materials, or preparing construction sites, our electric tractors offer the power and versatility you need.
Real-life stories
Van Reel: carbon-neutral earthmoving and demolition work
We are in the midst of transitioning to completely emission-free operation, and our electric tractors play a key role. Quiet and emission-free operation improves air quality on our construction sites and provides the power needed for heavy earth moving. Our two Knegt 404G2E models, with additional battery pack, operate for up to 9 hours on a single charge and are charged with wind energy. This is how we contribute to a more sustainable working environment without compromising on performance.

Practical applications
Of electric tractors in construction
Electric tractors are suitable for a variety of construction tasks, such as earth moving, demolition work and transporting construction materials. Accessories such as excavator buckets, bulldozer blades and demolition hammers allow you to tailor the tractor to your specific project needs. Whether you need to move soil or transport materials with trailers and pallet carriers, these tractors allow you to work efficiently, with fewer emissions. For path and road maintenance, such as snow removal and sweeping, they ensure that your construction sites stay well maintained.
In addition, electric tractors can be used in landscaping and daily maintenance of construction sites. Tools such as tillers and plows allow you to easily prepare sites, while special accessories such as demolition hammers and concrete breakers allow you to perform heavier demolition jobs. This versatility makes electric tractors a valuable addition to various construction projects

Frequently asked questions about...
It depends on the size of the site and the tasks to be performed. For medium to large projects, we recommend our 404G2E (55 hp), which is powerful enough for heavy-duty tasks such as earth moving and infrastructure work.
For earthwork and demolition projects, a tractor with 45-55 hp is usually sufficient. This output provides enough power for heavier tasks, while the compact size maintains maneuverability.
Working electrically is more environmentally friendly and fits within the new legislation for emission-free building. You also save in the long run through lower maintenance and energy costs.
Our electric tractors have a battery life of up to 9 hours with an additional battery pack, which is enough for a full working day. This means you can get to work without interruption, even on intensive projects.
Yes, many regions offer subsidies and tax breaks for the purchase of electric machines. Check with your local government to see what schemes apply.
With a quick charger electric tractors can usually be fully charged within 1 to 2 hours, allowing you to continue working efficiently without long breaks
Electric tractors have significantly lower maintenance costs because they have fewer moving parts. This means less wear and tear, no oil changes, and no fuel filters, resulting in lower costs in the long run
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution, electric tractors provide an improved working environment through reduced vibration and exhaust emissions, which increases both safety and productivity
