Presentation

Alternative fuels for non-road mobile machinery

This presentation will examine the trade-offs between alternative fuels for NRMM, including battery electric, fuel cell electric, hydrogen-ICE, renewable diesel and e-fuels. A summary of KGP's current forecast outlook for fuel use by market vertical for construction, AG and material handling will be included. Challenges for electrification, including charging, battery availability and cost, will be addressed, with views on future legislative and financial support required to meet net zero targets.
