As industries worldwide strive to meet sustainability goals, NZ is no exception, with Terex Finlay contributing to the environmental shift by offering a comprehensive line-up of hybrid crushers and screeners
The business is embracing hybrid machinery as a pivotal step towards greener operations by supplying equipment that can be powered by on-board diesel engines or gensets for sites that do not have available direct mains power source.
By combining traditional fuel-powered engines with electric components, Terex Finlay are helping transform industries including construction, mining, and waste management.
Bridging the gap
Hybrid machines bridge the gap between fully electric and conventional models, and can deliver significant advantages:
Reduced carbon emissions: By utilising electric power during low-load operations, hybrids can cut fuel consumption and emissions, aligning with New Zealand’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
Lower operating costs: With reduced fuel dependency, businesses can save on energy expenses while maintaining high performance.
Noise reduction: Quieter operations are particularly beneficial in urban areas, where noise pollution can be a concern.
New Zealand’s construction and agricultural sectors are leading the adoption of hybrid machinery. For example, hybrid machines and crushers are increasingly common on construction sites, offering a smaller carbon environmental footprint.
Government incentives
Despite their benefits, hybrid machines can come with some challenges, including higher upfront costs and the need for specialised maintenance. However, government incentives and growing consumer demand for sustainable practices are helping offset those barriers.
Manufacturers and distributors in New Zealand are also stepping up, providing education and support to ease the transition. The hybrid market is expanding rapidly, with innovations aimed at improving efficiency.
Hybrid machines are not just a trend but a necessity in New Zealand’s journey towards sustainability. As technology advances and the cost of hybrid solutions decreases, their adoption is expected to grow exponentially. For industries aiming to stay competitive and environmentally responsible, investing in hybrid machinery is no longer seen as optional – but as a way forward.
By embracing hybrid technology in New Zealand, Terex Finlay is helping set an example for the world, proving that innovation and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
