Mecalac, a world leader in designing, manufacturing, and distributing compact machines for urban worksites, has deployed three 100% electric machines on an electrification worksite in Annecy, France.
The site is responsible for power supply to boats and cultural and sporting events. The initiative aligns with Mecalac’s commitment to promoting environmentally friendly practices while guaranteeing optimal performance in the field, compactness, and a real autonomy of eight hours.
Thanks to these electric machines, this worksite benefits from a significant reduction in on-site emissions and lower machinery noise levels – ten times lower than that of their traditional thermal equivalents, to be precise.
We are proud to be taking part in this low-carbon project in a location that is particularly close to our hearts. Our electric machines are designed and assembled locally in our Annecy plant, explains Alexandre Marchetta, President of the Mecalac Group.
Combined with other measures, such as reusing excavated soil, the site’s projected carbon footprint is 25% lower than that of an equivalent project carried out using standard methods.
This initiative marks a new milestone in Mecalac’s commitment to ecological innovation in the construction sector. The company will continue to develop sustainable and innovative solutions to environmental challenges, while supporting economic growth and social progress.
