Can batteries replace the combustion engine for hydraulic work functions? The answer is complex and multifaceted, but a direct swap of engine for battery to run the same old hydraulics is not practical. While hydraulics provides a unique and favorable skill set in the rugged world of off-highway machinery, a significant portion of the energy consumed is wasted. But what if current technology could enable a smarter working hydraulic system? Could less battery be used to do the same amount of work? From load-sense systems to active independent metering valves and the help of AI, we’ll explore real solutions for efficiency.
