Doosan Unveil Hybrid Wheel Loader & Electric Mini Excavator

摘要

A prototype hybrid iteration of the Doosan DL200-5 wheel loader - simply designated as DL Hybrid was shown for the first time at the exhibition; hybrid model configurations could be available in North America as early as 2023. Doosan is developing the hybrid powertrain to offer the same size wheel loader with additional fuel savings from combining diesel and electric power sources. The electric motor and diesel engine work in tandem to provide the same level of torque and output that a larger diesel-only engine does. Doosan designed the hybrid iteration with a smaller diesel engine than what is used in the standard model today; however, there is no noticeable difference in the wheel loader's performance. The smaller diesel engine helps lower the wheel loader's fuel consumption.
