ZQUIP, part of Moog Construction, and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, today announced that they are bringing construction company owners and fleet owners a prototype 8-ton excavator that is geospatially intelligent and powered by a swappable, zero-emissions battery system.

After successfully testing the concept at a proving ground in France, ZQUIP and Leica Geosystems will now demonstrate the modified CAT 308 excavator at Moog Construction’s stand at Bauma (FN.921/1). The smart, clean vehicle is equipped with Leica Geosystems’ advanced machine control solution, which bring real-time data and precise design execution. Operators can optimise handling any payload with these solutions as they will know, for example at any point exactly where the excavator’s bucket is. Powering the excavator with ZQUIP means customers can work without time limitations while reaching sustainability targets. 

Both companies are committed to driving innovation that aligns with global environmental goals and offers tangible benefits to construction professionals. The collaboration supports the construction industry's transition towards more sustainable practices without compromising performance.

“Combining Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control technology with ZQUIP’s swappable power module now gives vehicle owners an intelligent machine that smartly manages resources for any given job, reducing the vehicle’s carbon footprint per ton of dirt moved,” says Chris LaFleur, Managing Director of ZQUIP.
