Electric equipment is transforming when and where work is completed. New Holland Construction is expanding its electric equipment portfolio to meet customer needs and ever-changing jobsite demands with the launch of the E25X electric mini-excavator and the C314X electric mini track loader, offering contractors two new options for job sites requiring zero on-site emissions, minimal noise and reduced overall maintenance.
"At the end of the day, contractors need machines that help them get more done, and electric equipment gives them that greater flexibility," said Jake Sickels, product marketing manager of New Holland Construction North America. "We designed the E25X and C314X, so customers don't have to rethink their workflow. These solutions eliminate obstacles related to emissions and noise that contractors often face, enabling them to take on a broader range of projects."
In spaces with environmental restrictions, like retail construction, plumbing and interior construction and even demolition, the E25X and C314X demonstrate clear use case value and can even help develop new opportunities for contractors.
For example, grocery or big-box retailers installing refrigeration systems cannot conduct construction during normal business hours without interrupting customer flow due to ventilation issues from diesel-powered equipment. With these electric machines, contractors can operate quietly during the day without the smell of smoke from diesel, and businesses can stay open during construction.
The benefits extend beyond air quality. Electric machines significantly reduce noise pollution, making them ideal for use around active schools, municipalities, livestock facilities and residential areas. Maintenance near playgrounds can take place without interrupting classroom schedules. Emergency water main repairs in urban neighborhoods can be completed overnight without the loud rumble of equipment.
E25X Electric Mini-Excavator
The New Holland Construction E25X is a 2.5-ton electric mini-excavator powered by a 102-volt lithium-ion battery with a 32.2 kWh gross capacity. Equipped with an onboard 240-volt 1-phase charging system, the machine can recharge from 0-100 percent in approximately nine hours, with a 20-80 percent charge achievable in about five hours. Depending on application and hydraulic demand, runtime ranges from four to eight hours.
Weighing approximately 5,200 lbs. in standard ROPS configuration and offering an 8-ft. dig depth, the E25X provides the capability contractors need for foundation work, utility installation and outdoor plumbing and demolition applications.
The machine features electro-hydraulic (EH) controls with eco, standard and power modes, allowing operators to tailor performance to the task at hand. Available in both ROPS and enclosed cab with heat option, the E25X offers visibility for the operator. Adjustable responsiveness settings enhance precision in confined areas, while a two-way blade with float improves grading capability.
The E25X electric mini excavator can be used with a full range of New Holland Construction attachments, including hydraulic hammers, augers, breakers, mechanical thumbs and bucket options to ensure the machine adapts to a variety of contractor needs.
C314X Electric Mini Track Loader
The C314X builds on the design of New Holland Construction's mini track loader, now in a fully electric configuration. Available in both narrow and wide-track configurations, the machine also offers standard rubber or optional non-marking tracks for sensitive environments.
Powered by a 102-volt lithium-ion battery system with a 23.5 kWh gross capacity, the C314X charges in approximately eight hours. The machine also has eco, standard and power motor speed settings to allow operators to balance efficiency and performance based on the attachment in use. The ergonomic control layout allows effortless use throughout the workday.
Enhanced LED lighting, including standard boom-mounted lights, improves visibility in low-light and indoor conditions. Standard single auxiliary hydraulics at 14 gpm, support both single-flow and bidirectional attachments, from hydraulic hammers to landscaping rakes and tillers. This machine features a 14-pin electrical connection for complex attachments, while the radial geometry lift arm design provides durability and straightforward operation. Bucket options include 36 and 42-in. configurations, depending on the machine width selected, and an optional beacon strobe light for added jobsite safety.
The C314X is gaining popularity in the landscaping and arborist markets, where sustainable tree care practices are already a focus. Contractors can manage site work and tree removal with a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional diesel engines. In addition, the machine's zero on-site emissions and low-noise operation make it an ideal solution for greenhouse applications, allowing crews to work indoors without compromising plant health or growing conditions.
Beyond Performance
Performance is elevated with the E25X electric mini-excavator and C314X electric mini track loader, which both come standard with a seven-year telematics subscription through myNewHollandConstruction. This telematics solution delivers new capabilities for sub-compact equipment and unlocks new opportunities for more connected job sites. The digital platform gives contractors, jobsite managers and operators access to detailed machine use metrics, including hours worked, productivity and jobsite cost figures.
"What excites us most is the ability to reach customers we haven't traditionally served, especially those operating in highly regulated environments," said Sickels. "Now, we can bring them into the New Holland Construction family with machines, technology and a dealer network that meets their unique operation goals without sacrificing capability or performance."
