The construction industry is on the eve of a major transition. Whereas diesel generators and construction connections were the standard for years, it is now becoming increasingly clear that electric construction is the future. Not only because of stricter environmental legislation and emission-free zones, but also because sustainable construction has become more cost-efficient and reliable. In this blog, we take a closer look at why electrical construction become the new norm and what this means for the construction industry.
1. Stricter laws and regulations: emission-free zones
In many major cities in the Netherlands, zero-emission zones introduced, where vehicles and equipment running on fossil fuels are no longer allowed. This also applies to construction sites, where diesel generators and traditional construction connections are slowly but surely disappearing from the scene. These regulations are forcing construction companies to think about new, clean energy solutions.
The Battery Trailer responds perfectly to this by offering a completely emission-free energy supply. No emissions, no penalties for working in zero-emission zones, and no last-minute construction connections that are often late or unreliable.
2. Long-term cost savings
Although switching to electric construction may seem more expensive at first glance, a detailed cost analysis shows that electric construction is actually much more cost-efficient in the long run. For example, the energy cost of charging a Battery Trailer is much lower than the cost of diesel. At an electricity price of €0.30 per kWh, the price of charging a Battery Trailer is much lower compared to the cost of diesel. This results in significant savings, especially for long-term projects.
In addition, electric solutions require much less maintenance. No oil or fuel filters to change regularly and no expensive repairs to internal combustion engines. These lower maintenance costs mean that electric construction is not only more environmentally friendly, but also kinder to the wallet.
3. Reliability and flexibility
A major advantage of electric construction is the reliability of the power supply. Whereas diesel generators depend on constant diesel supplies, a Battery Trailer can be easily recharged via a standard EV charging station or power connection. Charging takes just 2 hours for the 43 kWh version, making the Battery Trailer rapidly deployable again.
Moreover, electric construction offers much more flexibility. The Battery Trailer is easy to move and deploy in different locations. Thanks to the built-in GPS system and real-time monitoring, both the owner and the contractor on site can always see exactly where the Battery Trailer is and how much energy is still available.
4. Sustainability as a competitive advantage
More and more clients in the construction industry are demanding that projects be carried out in a sustainable manner. Electric construction offers construction companies the opportunity to meet these requirements while improving their competitiveness. By switching to emission-free solutions such as the Battery Trailer, companies can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions and comply with strict environmental regulations.
In addition, sustainability often provides additional benefits, such as subsidies and tax breaks. For example, for the Battery Trailer subsidies such as the MIA/Vamil and the EIA subsidy can be applied for, making the switch to electric building even more attractive.
The transition to electric construction is no longer an option, but a necessity. With the Battery Trailer, Energy Infra BV offers the perfect solution for construction companies looking to make the transition to a sustainable, emission-free future. Our battery trailers are flexible, cost-efficient and ready for the challenges of the modern construction industry.
