The next step in sustainability

As we work towards a more sustainable future, the use of electric machinery in green construction and agriculture is on the rise. That’s why JCB decided to engineer a pioneering range of machines that are 100% electric, with zero emissions, zero compromise on performance and a lot less noise.

The JCB E-TECH range is a new generation of electric products with zero emissions at point of use. Today, we’re committed to supporting operators and businesses as they aim for net zero – with an electric mini excavator you can rely on.

Built for the future: inside the E-tech mini excavator range

Meet the two current models in JCB’s E-TECH mini electrical excavator range that are transforming expectations across the industry.

Mini excavator 19C-1E

The award-winning 19C-1E is the industry’s first fully mini excavator that’s electric, delivering the same power as the diesel model, only with zero emissions and low noise levels - making it ideal for working in emission-restricted zones, agricultural infrastructure projects and night-time maintenance work. Once charged, you can work anywhere, anytime, with enough power to last a full shift.

Zero emissions, maximum impact

The E-Tech range delivers the same quality, reliability and power you’ve come to expect from all our JCB machinery – and will always help you deliver peak performance. All the benefits of an electric excavator that’s mini make it an essential tool for contractors aiming to meet sustainability targets or public sector carbon mandates.

Because our E-TECH range offers zero emissions of CO2, Nox and particulates at point of use, investing in a JCB electric mini excavator will reduce your harmful emissions and lessen the environmental impact of your projects.

There are no engines in the JCB electric range, which means significantly reduced noise levels. This also means you’ll be able to work in enclosed spaces, noise-sensitive environments and areas where air quality is sensitive, such as hospitals, schools, and city centres.

Lower costs, smarter choice

Wondering how to lower operating costs? A JCB mini electric excavator might be the answer. Choosing an E-TECH machine means less servicing, less maintenance and overall lower operating cost – giving you a significant savings.

The batteries are maintenance-free, and require minimal daily checks and servicing. And, with its 100% steel bodywork and long-lasting components, JCB E-TECH machines have been built with durability and minimal downtime in mind. Investing in electric machinery helps operators futureproof their fleets – without having to overspend.
