During Media Days prior to CES 2025 in Las Vegas
an interchangeable and universal battery compatible with 2.5-ton mini-excavators
CEO Vincent Robin also announced the official launch of the company’s brand as well as the scheduled release in 2025 of the ELH25.1
Elhyte was founded in March 2022 in Viriat
associate and CEO of SGC Travaux Spéciaux in Sainte-Foy-l’Argentière
Elhyte specializes in electrification of construction equipment
The company’s new E-Cube battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry
which the company said enables a lifespan of up to 12,000 hours of use by different mini-excavators
the battery is capable of being reused as a stationary energy storage unit for applications such as solar power production
The cubic configuration of the E-Cube optimizes available space
and does not increase the weight of a retrofitted machine
The battery replaces the original internal combustion engine and counterweight
center of gravity and lifting performance of the mini-excavator
“Equipped with a thermal management system to operate under extreme conditions from -4° F to +140° F
E-Cube battery self-regulates based on external temperature,” said Robin
Pre-conditioning of the battery is also possible to reach the optimal operating temperature as soon as the machine starts up
consisting of a removable jib and an electric winch
enables a single-operator to exchange the E-Cube battery in less than 10 minutes.The battery is readily transportable and equipped with standard Type 2 connectors for automotive-style charging
it is possible to charge it directly from standard outlets
The E-Cube battery will initially be retrofit into existing mini-excavators before being used in Elhyte-branded models
will be launched in 2025 as the result of a partnership with an established manufacturer
The E-Cube joins the Mobilyte pack – interchangeable batteries for heavy equipment over 10 tons – which was officially presented at the Espace BTP French trade show in Lyon (FR) in July 2023
Elhyte showed the first fully electric retrofitted 25-ton excavator at the Dig Tour exhibition in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure and at the Espace BTP/InnovDayTP trade show at the Lyon-Bron Hippodrome
With its headquarters in Viriat and current production workshops in Mornant
Elhyte plans to establish its future production center in the Ain counties by the end of 2025

A protest by amusement park owners has seen trucks block traffic on several roads in France
The protesters are demanding a clear date from which they can reopen their attractions to the public
According to Northern French Newspaper lavoixdunord.fr
France’s amusement park industry want a firm reopening date set by the government
The earliest such attractions could reopen is June 9th
and it is expected that some regions wont allow amusement parks to open until July or even August
besides the danger of losing vital summer income
has thus motivated France’s 50,000 fairground and amusement professionals to protest
The protesters said this morning that the trucks would avoid city centres and that they do not aim to disrupt work
Disturbances are expected on the A16 (Boulogne-Calais)
the A25 (Dunkirk-Lille) and at the A2 toll (Valenciennes-Cambrai)
the truck protests were present in the following locations:
In accordance with a directive from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Environment
supplementary bans on truck traffic will be implemented on a specific highway leading up to Christmas
there will be a prohibition on heavy goods vehicles traveling along the A10 Tauern motorway
This restriction pertains to the operation of trucks or articulated vehicles with a permissible total weight exceeding 7.5 tons
as well as trucks with trailers where the sum of the maximum permissible total masses of both vehicles exceeds 7.5 tons
the traffic ban on the A10 is in effect from 7:00 to 15:00:
The ban excludes vehicles transporting slaughtered cattle
combined transport (road-rail) is exempt if the driver can provide confirmation of a train reservation containing information about the vehicle’s registration number or the date and time of the train departure
trucks have to be equipped with winter tyres only on wheels on the axles
The changes are due to be implemented no later than by 1 July 2020
As announced by the German transport union DSLV
the obligation to have winter tyres during the winter conditions will apply not only to wheels on the axles but also to front steering wheels in trucks (from 3.5 t)
the M+S tyres will be recognised as winter tyres only if they have been manufactured by the end of 2017
only tyres marked with the “Alpine” symbol (three-peak mountain snowflake) will be considered to be winter tyres
The 52nd regulation amending the road traffic regulations was published on 31 May in the first part of the Federal Law Gazette (Bundesgesetzblatt)
The changes apply both to the road traffic law (StVO) and the act on road traffic permit (StVZO)
Anyone driving on ice or snow without proper tyres in the future is going to expect a fine of EUR 60
if the owner of the vehicle allows for driving the truck without proper tyres or orders travelling the route with that vehicle
Sunday and holiday truck traffic bans have been in force for years in Germany
some German states have decided to lighten it
In recent days, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia have decided to loosen the Sunday and holiday restrictions on trucks
this suspension will remain in force until 30 May
Lower Saxony decided to take a similar step yesterday
reports the German transport portal verkehrsrundschau.de
The suspension of the ban applies to the transportation of non-perishable food and hygiene products.
Supply chains need to be adjusted so that the shelves are always packed with the full range
bottlenecks in the supply of non-perishable food and hygiene products can be avoided

the truck ban will be extended to vehicles over 3.5 t compliant with the Euro 3 emission standard
Italian carriers sharply criticise change and fear a slowdown in the transport and economic cycle.
As of 1 September this year, the ban on trucks in the Mont Blanc tunnel will be extended to vehicles over 3.5 t compliant with the Euro 3 emission standard

150 m minimum distance from the vehicle ahead
a speed limit of 70 km/h and an absolute ban on overtaking.
The Italian association of carriers Conftrasporto calls for intervention at the European level in order to reverse the restriction decision
the extension of the ban will have a negative impact on the free movement of goods and
will slow down the transport and economic cycle.
The national economy will suffer a great deal,” declared Paolo Uggè
According to the information provided by the association
the new restriction is to apply for 3 years
maintenance work will be carried out in the Mont Blanc tunnel for two days
the tunnel will be closed on the following days:

Actionâ¨19 rue Tissot - Lyon 9eâ¨Ouverture le jeudi 17 janvier 2019
The commune of Saint Bonnet de Mure is preparing to write a new page in its urban history with an in -depth transformation project on avenue Charles de Gaulle
the inhabitants will be able to attend a real metamorphosis of this structuring axis
located between the Environment roundabout and the rue de Luyzine
will become the beating heart of a redesigned district to combine sustainability
The major site is organized in two main stages and mobilizes several institutional and technical partners
The municipality works in close synergy with the Inter -municipal Sanitation Syndicate Grand Projects (SIAGP) and the community of municipalities in East Lyonnais (CCEL) to carry out the different stages of the site
The first is to bury existing electrical networks and completely rehabilitate sanitation networks
a strategic operation estimated at 1,050,000 euros
including 444,000 euros supported by SIAGP
This underground work constitutes the basis of a project which is not limited to a simple road repair
but which aims for a complete overhaul of public space
In continuation of the arrangements carried out between the Chanay park and the environment roundabout
the second phase of the project aims to transform avenue Charles de Gaulle into a modern living space
welcoming and resolutely turned towards ecology
Residents will soon discover a peaceful avenue
flowery hedges and massive plants will line around 25 % of the total surface
promoting biodiversity while facilitating the absorption and management of rainwater
The latter will be redirected to vegetated areas and a retention basin located rue Victor Hugo
The development will also focus on soft mobility
A green route dedicated exclusively to pedestrians and cyclists will be fitted out
The sidewalks will be extended and transformed into real landscape paths
while car parking will be alternated with tree plantations
creating a visual and environmental balance
with in particular the installation of a slower tray at the crossroads of the streets Luyzine and Charles de Gaulle
in accordance with the recommendations of the Sytral
in order to soothe circulation and secure crossings
The site will continue in depth with the implementation of a new collector of wastewater 455 meters long
The latter will ensure better effluent routing to the Feyssine wastewater treatment plant
will play a key role in the hydraulic regulation of the sector
These works will temporarily require the partial deconstruction of the environment roundabout
as well as the provisional displacement of the Saint Bonnet tower
which will then be reinstalled identically at the end of the site
Aware of the nuisances that such a site can cause
the municipality would like to reassure its citizens
Specific measures are provided to minimize the impact on daily life
Bus stops near the Chanay Park will be moved temporarily
The activity of local shops will also be preserved thanks to marked pedestrian paths
double -direction traffic will be maintained as much as possible
thus guaranteeing continuity of displacement for motorists
