# JCB sparks excitement with electric 8008E debut at EHS

    Louise Carney  ·   1 minute read

JCB will unveil a brand new electric micro excavator at the Executive Hire Show – the 8008E CTS.

Joining the JCB E-TECH range of electric products with zero emissions at point of use, this new 1.0-tonne machine shares its structure, bodywork and dig-end with the conventional diesel-powered 8008 CTS and has the same control lever functionality. However, the hydraulic pump is powered by an electric motor and uses the same proven battery and powertrain technology as existing JCB electric products.

Key features of the machine include:

- 9.9kWh battery delivers enough power for a typical full day’s shift
- Sub-1.0 tonne operating weight makes it easy to transport behind a van or pick-up
- 110V and 230V charging capability to suit construction use

The electric model has a noise level at the operator station of just 66dB(A), with an external noise level of 80dB(A), making it ideal for use indoors or in urban site conditions. Performance and productivity are unchanged when compared to the diesel model, with the electric machine offering a maximum bucket tearout of 9.3kN and a dipper tearout of 4.6kN.

Also showcased on the JCB stand will be a range of sustainable equipment for the rental industry including: the world’s first hydrogen combustion engine developed by JCB, alongside the 16C-1 mini excavator, 1T-2 site dumper and HTD-5E electric Dumpster models.

Put the 12th and 13th of February 2025 in your diary: the EHS team looks forward to welcoming you to the Coventry Building Society Arena—the home of hire!
