A sight that once felt impossible is now a reality on UK roads: an 80-ton fully electric Scania tractor unit hauling Komatsu’s 14-ton electric PC138E excavator. This isn’t just a headline, it’s a defining moment for heavy-duty electrification and a turning point for sectors long labelled “too hard to decarbonise.”
In this episode, we dive into the real-world impact behind this breakthrough. Early field trials with Balfour Beatty on the M25/A3 Junction 10 upgrade show exactly what happens when OEM innovation meets operational demand:
These results demonstrate what we at éXō by ZeroMission have championed from day one: data-driven, electric-first operations aren’t just the future, they’re transforming fleets right now.
We explore what this milestone means for the industry:
éXō by ZeroMission's message is clear:
When heavy-duty electrification becomes operationally viable, everything changes, and that moment has arrived.
Tune in to learn how fleets can move earlier, reduce costs sooner, and lead the next era of clean construction and logistics.
