Eco-Friendly Construction: ZQUIP & Leica Geosystems Lead the Charge
ZQUIP, part of Moog Construction, and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced that they are bringing construction company owners and fleet owners a prototype 8-ton excavator that is geospatially intelligent and powered by a swappable, zero-emissions battery system.
ZQUIP and Leica Geosystems have successfully tested the concept at a proving site in France. Now, they will show off the modified CAT 308 excavator at Moog Construction’s booth at Bauma (FN.921/1). The sophisticated machine control system from Leica Geosystems, which provides real-time data and accurate design execution, is installed in the intelligent, clean car. With these technologies, operators can handle any payload as efficiently as possible because they would know, for instance, the precise location of the excavator’s bucket at any given time. Customers can work without time constraints and meet sustainability goals by using ZQUIP to power the excavator.
Both companies are committed to driving innovation that aligns with global environmental goals and offers tangible benefits to construction professionals. The collaboration supports the construction industry’s transition towards more sustainable practices without compromising performance.
“Combining Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control technology with ZQUIP’s swappable power module now gives vehicle owners an intelligent machine that smartly manages resources for any given job, reducing the vehicle’s carbon footprint per ton of dirt moved,” says Chris LaFleur, Managing Director of ZQUIP.
ZQUIP has designed its Modular Power System to deliver reliable, high-performance electric power to heavy machinery. This provides the energy customers need to sustain demanding construction tasks for as long as required. Any construction machine outfitted with the ZQUIP Modular Power System can exchange power modules with any other make or model of ZQUIP machine, ensuring flexibility across various types of heavy equipment.
“Collaborating with ZQUIP enables us to advance the capabilities of construction equipment: By integrating cutting-edge electric technology with precise machine control, we enhance construction efficiency while reducing emissions and waste,” says Neil Williams, President of the Machine Control Division at Leica Geosystems. “This combination delivers the cost savings and operational improvements our customers and industry stakeholders rely on, while also enabling them to minimize their environmental impact.”
Hands-on demonstration at Bauma 2025
The collaboration will take center stage at Bauma, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, where visitors can experience firsthand how this powerful partnership is transforming heavy equipment operations. Visit Moog Construction’s booth (FN 921/1) to explore how ZQUIP Modular Power System with Leica Geosystems’ machine control technology showcase the construction-ready capabilities of electric solutions.
