Electric mini excavator
The 19C-1E mini excavator is JCB’s first fully electric construction machine and is now offered to customers in the United States and Canada.
Powered by lithium-ion batteries, the 2-ton JCB 19C-1E delivers the same performance as a diesel-powered excavator, with zero emissions and one-fifth of the noise.
It is ideally suited to construction and excavation applications within enclosed or urban job sites, or noise- and emissions-sensitive environments such as hospitals and schools. It offers the same power as JCB’s diesel-powered 19C excavator yet produces zero exhaust emissions and one- fifth of the noise.

“For decades, JCB has been—and will continue to be—an innovator and global leader in low- emissions, diesel-powered excavators and construction equipment,” says Chris Lucas, product manager for compact excavators at JCB North America. “However, increasing urbanization, environmental sensitivity and safety awareness is driving demand for zero-emissions machines that perform as well as diesel equipment.”
Powered by three lithium-ion batteries creating 313 Ah/15 kWh of capacity, the 19C-1E can complete a typical day’s work on a single charge. An optional four-battery pack increases capacity to 417 Ah (20 kWh) and delivers an additional 2 hours of continuous use. Other features include:
- 48-volt electric driveline generating peak power up to 27 horsepower.
- Bosch Rexroth load-sensing hydraulic system for excellent digging performance to a maximum dig depth of 9 feet 3 inches.
- On-board charger with standard, domestic 110V input for 12-hour recharging; a 230V charging option for 8-hour recharge or fast charge option for 2-hour recharge is available.
- Retractable undercarriage negotiates narrow spaces and doorways.
- Rugged battery pack housing endures construction applications.
