Five Key Models
1. Hydrema HDrive™ System
Found in machines like the MX20G Rail excavator and 9A series, this hydraulic drivetrain:
· Enables rail speeds up to 26 km/h, with dual rubber/rail wheel capability
· Uses hydraulic direct wheel motors, no gearbox, hydraulic oil brakes
· Ideal for fast, flexible transition between track and road deployment
2. Hägglunds CBM Radial Piston Direct Drive Motor (Bosch Rexroth)
A cutting-edge direct drive solution featuring:
· 50 % more torque while being 50 % lighter than previous models
· Provides full torque from zero speed, shock resistance, four-quadrant operation
· Compact yet powerful—widely used in mining, marine, and industrial heavyduty systems
3. Hägglunds CAb 10–40 Radial Piston Motor (Bosch Rexroth)
Optimized for compact heavy-duty applications, offering:
· High power density in a smaller, lighter housing
· Suitable for mobile and industrial systems requiring direct shaft mounting
4. Danfoss Editron Electric-Hybrid Drivetrain System
A modular electrification platform for heavy machinery featuring:
· Power output ranging from 30 kW to 1000 kW, supporting fullelectric and hybrid off-highway use
· Synchronous reluctance-assisted permanent magnet motors, with IPrated components designed for harsh environments
5. Eaton Series 1 HeavyDuty Hydrostatic Fixed Displacement Motor
Robust hydrostatic motor tailored for closed-loop transmission systems:
· Displacements from 35–280 cc/rev, up to 420 bar (6 100 psi) pressures
· Compact and sturdy; used in graders, dozers, tractors, and marine equipment
Major growth is expected across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific remains a key growth driver due to rapid industrialization and infrastructure investments, especially in China and India.
The push for sustainable and efficient machinery has led to significant investments in electric-hydraulic hybrid systems. Danfoss has introduced high-efficiency electric and hybrid drivetrains that reduce fuel consumption and emissions while extending operational range. Eaton has committed substantial funding toward sustainable R&D, with a focus on electrification and digitalization to align with global energy transition goals.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are being integrated into hydraulic systems to enhance precision and reduce operational errors. AI-driven fault detection enables predictive maintenance by analyzing sensor data to identify potential issues before they cause downtime, thereby improving system reliability and minimizing maintenance costs.
Hydrema has introduced the H-Drive™ system in its rail construction machinery, enabling higher track speeds up to 26 km/h and improved torque efficiency. This innovation significantly enhances productivity and operational flexibility in rail construction environments.
Hägglunds, a Bosch Rexroth brand, has developed direct hydraulic drive systems that deliver full torque from zero speed. Their latest CBM motor provides 50% more torque and is up to 50% lighter than its predecessor, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications in mining and material handling.
