Presentation

Battery selection and validation for a horizontal electric driller

After more than two years of extensive testing and validation, Vermeer launched its new D20x22 S3E electric horizontal drill. The challenges of electrification are numerous for the demanding applications of Vermeer machines: to capitalize as much as possible on each development; to deliver in various regions, working in the cold winter of Iowa or Northern Europe up to the hot summer of South Europe or the Middle East; and to deliver maximum power in a limited space. The presentation will explain Vermeer’s reasoning for selecting Wattalps’ innovative immersion cooling technology, before introducing the battery validation process.
