The development of a new manufacturing line of heavy equipment products has come on the scene within the last few years with the goal of leading the charge of American companies that offer fully electrified construction equipment.

Founded at the end of 2019, HEVI Corp. was developed with the mindset of offering alternative and clean technologies to the heavy machines marketplace, as opposed to traditional diesel-powered equipment, according to Raymond Wang, HEVI’s founder and

CEO.

Though electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly gaining support across the planet, HEVI and its engineers have taken note that construction, waste management, and agriculture are lacking in sustainable, emissions-free equipment options. As a result, HEVI is aiming toward complete industrial electrification by employing innovative manufacturing capabilities and technology to deliver precision and power at scale.

After setting up its headquarters in East Windsor, N.J., HEVI turned its attention to building its first U.S. assembly plant, a 60,000-sq.-ft. facility that is now preparing to turn out its first line of electric loaders, excavators, and parts in Baltimore, Md. later this spring.

“HEVI is my baby and I wanted to take my team’s expertise and contribute toward the overall social benefits of supplying clean and alternative technologies,” Wang explained. “My mission with HEVI is to expand our business to become an OEM ourselves because I do not see another solid player coming into the market for the next five to seven years.”

Although production on the first HEVI machines was done overseas, due chiefly to the global pandemic, the company was able to ship to the American market to get its EV equipment introduced here and into the hands of consumers as quickly as possible. That way, people could start using them and forming their own opinions about how well they work.

HEVI officials decided on creating a business that pursues a direct sales model, meaning the company will not be selling its equipment through a traditional dealership network.

Despite the planned rollout of electric battery charged equipment from Baltimore in April and May, Wang added, many of HEVI’s products are already commercially available. He noted the maker has about four dozen units that have attracted so much interest that HEVI decided to simply allot its entire inventory to demonstration and pilot models.

“Folks are signing demo agreements to get them onto their work sites,” Wang said.

Wheeled Machines Attracting Attention

HEVI’s first product line included two allelectric wheeled loaders, with weights ranging from 12,000-40,000 lbs. In addition, it has manufactured a wheeled excavator with an operating weight of 18,739 lbs.

The model GEX-8000 wheeled excavator has attracted attention from road and bridge contractors, Wang noted, along with many requests for the GEL-5000 loader.

“The reason we went with the wheeled version first is because our products are best suited for on-site applications, such as a recycling yard or a salt silo property – anywhere there is access to electrical power,” he said. “Those sites typically are already going to have packed ground or asphalt, and the see HEVI page 40
