New Holland's W40X Electric Wheel Loader Earns Good Design Award
The W40X Electric Power, New Holland’s new compact wheel loader, has won a Good Design award at the 2025 awards.
Aimed at users operating in indoor or urban areas, the W40X Electric Power, which is 1,650 millimeters wide, produces zero emissions and low noise levels from an all-electric drive system powered by a 23 kWh battery. This provides 39 kW rated power, with a 3-6 hour work time depending on application.
Total operating weight is 3.9 tonnes and bucket payload 1.0 tonnes with a standard 0.5 meter bucket size. An attachment linkage has been designed specifically for battery electric vehicles, offering the same strength and durability as a standard design, but with reduced weight and a 5% advantage in required working energy, according to the company.
Automated functions, including return-to-dig, return-to-travel and return-to-height, ease boom and bucket control for the operator. Electro-proportional controls can be customized to suit job type.
