Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe unveiled its first battery electric mini excavator at Bauma 2025. The HX19e weighs in at 2,296kg, when equipped with a full cab and large capacity battery pack. The compact machine will provide the ideal digging solution for urban utilities, landscaping and gardening, tunnel and basement excavation and for many local authority tasks, such as cemeteries and sports facilities.
The HX19e will be offered with a choice of two lithium-ion battery packs, delivering 32kWh and a market-leading 40kWh capacity, which is almost double the capacity of some competitor machines. The 40kWh battery will allow customers to work for up to 6.7 hours between charges, with a break time top-up delivering full shift useability.
The machine is equipped with a widely used Type 2 connector, allowing customers to use existing EV charging infrastructure. The intelligent on-board charging unit can be used with 110V or 230V supply, offering a full recharge time of just 4.8 hours for the smaller 32kWh battery and six hours for the 40kWh.
The HX19e is also equipped with a REMA DIN 320 connector, that permits rapid charging when 380V and 44V supply is available. In this case a full recharge can take as little as 2 hours for the smaller battery and 2.5 hours for the larger model.
The batteries power a 13kW electric motor, that in turn drives an open centre hydraulic system. This delivers similar performance to Hyundai’s diesel-powered HX19A mini excavator, which is powered by a 12.1kW engine. The machine boasts the same 16kN bucket breakout force along with a slightly higher 9.4kN dipper arm breakout force. Maximum digging depth is 2,340mm and maximum digging reach is 3,940mm.
As battery management is crucial to the most productive use of an electric machine, the HX19e will come with a five-year Hi-Mate subscription as standard. This will provide customers with a remote monitoring facility, making fleet management more effective and helping to reduce operating costs.
Biodegradable Panolin VG46 hydraulic oil is also standard, reducing the risk of contamination in the event of spills. With the lack of diesel engine consumables, such as engine oil and filter, fuel and air filters, service and maintenance costs will be greatly reduced when compared to a diesel model.
Hyundai offers the machine with just four selectable options. This will include a choice of cab or canopy, plus the two battery capacities. All models will have a high standard specification, including safety valves on the main boom, dipper arm and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders. Two-way auxiliary hydraulic piping allows the machine to be used with a range of attachments and there are hydraulics for an optional quick coupler. The HX19e is also equipped with LED booms lights and rotating beacon, an MP3 radio with USB connectivity and an operator’s seat with mechanical suspension.
Production of this innovative electric machine commenced in April 2025. The battery-powered mini excavator is expected to appeal to plant hire and contracting customers keen to adopt a zero-emission machine. The lack of exhaust fumes and reduced operating noise make the HX19e an ideal machine for urban utility work, landscaping and local authority tasks, along with operation inside buildings and tunnels, for both construction and demolition purposes.
The European electric equipment market is evolving rapidly, driven by regulatory pressures and customer environmental concerns. This is a crucial area of development for Hyundai Construction Equipment and the HX19e spearheads the company’s transition to a greener future through the use of various driveline technologies.
