Abstract
Electrification of non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) is a
growing trend. This paper highlights the potential of
electric and hybrid powertrains in different NRMM sectors
and elaborates the factors that may hinder the
development. The NRMM sectors, the vehicle types, their
operation and duty cycles and market shares are
described. Comparison between the typical duty cycles and
operation of on-road and off-road vehicles is performed
in order to gain insight into the specific features of
off-road vehicles. The development of NRMM is subject to
various drivers that range from customer needs to fuel
and energy prices and rules and legislation. The main
results of our study are 1) a review of the present
status and analysis of the future trends and potential of
electrification and hybridization of NRMM and, 2)
propositions for overcoming the challenges that are
related to the electrification and hybridization of NRMM.
