With the new Torion 537e Sinus, Claas presented its first battery-electric wheel loader at Agritechnica last week. Claas explains that the machine, which sits in the six-tonne class, offers the full performance of a comparable model with a conventional drive, making it suitable for use on livestock farms.
The battery-electric drive replaces the diesel engine and hydrostat of the otherwise identical Torion 537 Sinus. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 32.2kWh as standard and 64.4kWh as an option providing up to 30kW for the ground drive and 15kW for the pump drive.
In normal use, Claas says this allows running times of eight to 16 hours, depending on the integrated battery capacity. When braking via the ground drive and travelling downhill, the energy released is recovered and fed back into the battery. Depending on the on-board charger and available connected load, Claas says the battery is charged in one and a half to three hours. With an operating weight of 5,910kg, the hydraulic pump offers 75l/min at 240 bar, while the electric ground drive has a top speed of 20km/h as standard and 30km/h optionally.
