Dieci at Agritechnica 2023

Dieci’s new Agri Farmer Hybrid and Mini Agri-e electric telehandler will be displayed at Agritechnica 2023, held in Hanover, Germany from November 12th to 18th.

Replacing the conventional internal combustion engine with a combination of a diesel engine and a Hybrid Boost System, recognised as an EIMA Technical Innovation Awards winner, the hybrid pack is designed to safeguard the environment by substantially reducing energy consumption while matching the performance of a standard engine, enhancing fuel efficiency, and bringing maintenance benefits.

An electronic control platform optimises the operation of the transmission, hydraulic system, and the Kubota Hybrid Diesel engine ensures maximum power is only utilised when necessary, allowing the system to charge during low-power operations. Substantial cost savings can be made with this eco-friendly system, says Dieci. Its self-charging capabilities during work cycles reduce downtime alongside reducing fuel consumption, maintenance and emissions. The system is said to have a user-friendly interface and the capacity to perform reliably even on a low charge.

Mini Agri-e
The Mini Agri-e is the latest telehandler from Dieci designed to improve sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and profitability, while addressing environmental concerns and stringent regulations restricting traditional vehicles from indoor areas, industrial plants, low-carbon emission projects, and farming activities.

The Mini Agri-e is said to combine the robust performance of traditional Dieci telehandlers with the added benefits of a fully electric engine, presenting the world's first 100% green telehandler. Key stats include a 2,600kg load capacity, 6m lifting height, a 19kW traction motor and 22kW hydraulic motor, and a maximum power output of 44kWh.

Further adaptability of the Mini Agri-e brings benefits for all market sectors with the E-Modular Powerpack. This modular kit allows the machine to adapt to specific user requirements, adjusting to the operational needs of agricultural enterprises, logistics firms and more without compromising performance and speed, reckons Dieci.

The E-Modular Powerpack uses one or two lithium batteries (LiFePo4) and is said to provide a full day's work on a single charge. This expandable pack even post-purchase optimised costs and efficiency, whilst giving flexibility to the vehicle characteristics based on operational needs. Easy and rapid changeover of the E-Modular Powerpack can happen in the field and also gives rental businesses the ease and speed of changeover as well as providing the specified vehicle for each operation.
