ETEC: Electric and Forward-Thinking
The name ETEC has become synonymous worldwide with specialized excavators. Today, ETEC represents a complete line of electric excavators, designed by skilled professionals with real-world experience. Every machine undergoes extensive field testing before entering serial production, always with the user's needs at the core. The result: what we proudly call the highest-performing electric excavators on the market.
Beyond Machines: Energy Solutions of the Future
ETEC combines deep expertise in excavators with innovative solutions for zero-emission operation. Under the ETEC Power Solutions label, we develop advanced mobile energy systems that enable clean, emission-free work. A well-known example is the ETEC Powerbox: powerful battery systems available in multiple classes, optionally equipped with integrated DC fast chargers.
Another key innovation is the W-TEC, a revolutionary hydrogen generator that delivers silent, clean, and reliable energy, even in the most remote locations. With these solutions, we offer our customers maximum flexibility and sustainability, whether they’re working emission-free in urban areas or delivering energy where no grid connection is available.
ETEC: Pioneer in Electric Excavators and Sustainable Energy Solutions
ETEC is the pioneer in electric excavators and sustainable energy solutions for the construction and industrial sectors. Our name carries nearly a century of experience, innovation, and reliability. What began in the late 1920's as a supplier of machines for industry, municipalities, and agriculture has grown into a leading brand driving the energy transition in construction.
After 25 years as an excavator dealership, ELM Group became responsible for the sales and service of the global brand DEVELON in the southwest of the Netherlands in 2012. Building on that strong foundation, ELM Bouwmachines B.V. was established in 2017. In 2018, the company moved into the former ETEC facility at Transportweg 10 in Waddinxveen, a location designed for growth, innovation, and production, forming the foundation of the ETEC we know today.
Our 10,000 m² site includes a modern 3,000 m² workshop, a professional paint facility with two spacious spray booths, and an in-house fabrication department. These facilities enable us to develop, build, and customize our machines entirely in-house. With a dedicated team of over 50 professionals, we ensure quality, customization, and dependable service, from sales and rentals to maintenance and full overhauls.
The ETEC Powerbox is a powerful, mobile energy solution that operates completely emission-free. It’s ideal for locations where sustainability, flexibility, and reliability are essential. Whether it’s a zero-emission construction site, temporary power at an event, or support during grid congestion, the Powerbox delivers clean energy exactly where and when you need it.
Thanks to its robust design, easy mobility, and availability in various capacities, the Powerbox is highly versatile. The plug & play setup makes it easy to operate, while smart energy management ensures efficient usage. Optionally, the Powerbox can be equipped with a 200 kW DC fast charger, enabling ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles.
