Like most diesel engine manufacturers looking toward the future, Germany's Hatz has branched out into alternative power sources, including electrification.
At Bauma 2025 in Munich, the company demonstrated its Concept Cube 2.0, a remote-controlled electric vibratory plate compactor.
How can you test electric equipment?
Operated with a portable line-of-sight remote control panel or an app from a smartphone or tablet, the Cube also transmits machine performance and health information via telematics.
Both the handle and the remote controller can be hidden away on the machine depending on the mode of use, remote or conventional, respectively. Global communications manager Michael Hatz gave Construction Equipment senior editor Frank Raczon an exclusive demo.
