This case study presents the ground‑up electrification of a skid steer, transitioning from an internal combustion engine to a high‑efficiency, battery‑powered architecture displayed on booth. The system replaces the legacy powertrain with a lithium‑ion battery and electric motor driving a bent‑axis fixed‑displacement pump. System pressure is controlled through motor speed using an electronic load‑sensing signal, forming a variable speed motor ELS system that reduces complexity and improves energy efficiency. Electrohydraulic actuators enable precise, decentralized control of work functions, while integrated electronic controllers, displays and telematics deliver a cost‑effective, high‑performance solution for modern electrified mobile machinery.
