Though the current wave of electric vehicles is transforming on-road passenger and commercial vehicle fleets, similar attempts in off-road equipment sector appear to be lacking. Because diverse categories varied applications, electrifying requires significant research development. A successful electrification such can offer an array benefits, including reduced air noise pollution, higher energy efficiency, increased productivity. This paper provides a review state technology electrification, with focus on used construction agricultural applications. The also discusses advantages of, challenges associated with, equipment. In addition, potential solutions for overcoming these as well opportunities facilitate are identified.
