Yes. Existing diesel excavators such as JCB, Tata Hitachi, Komatsu, SANY, and many other models can be successfully converted into electric-powered excavators.
With advanced engineering solutions developed by Servoday Plants & Equipments Limited through ElectricExcavator.in, this conversion can now be done quickly, efficiently, and directly at the customer’s site using a specially designed skid-mounted dual power system.
Dual Mode Electric + Diesel Conversion System
The newly developed skid-mounted conversion system allows excavators to operate in two modes:
This means the operator can switch between electric and diesel operation depending on the work environment, power availability, and project requirements.
Key Concept
Instead of removing the diesel engine permanently, the system integrates a high-efficiency electric motor with the hydraulic pump system while retaining the diesel engine as a backup.
This results in a hybrid dual-mode excavator capable of operating on electric power or diesel whenever required.

Skid-Mounted Electric Conversion – No Need to Send Excavator to Workshop
Traditionally, converting heavy equipment required transporting the machine to a factory or workshop. This process involved:
Now with Servoday’s skid-mounted electric conversion system, the process is much simpler.
On-Site Installation
The conversion system is supplied as a compact skid-mounted module that includes:
This skid unit can be installed directly at your project site, eliminating the need to transport the excavator.
Fast Installation – Conversion in Just 2 to 4 Days
One of the biggest advantages of this system is extremely fast deployment.
Typical timeline:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Within 2–4 days, your diesel excavator can start working in dual electric + diesel mode.
How the Electric Conversion Works
The system replaces or supplements the diesel engine’s power source by using a high-efficiency electric motor to drive the excavator’s main hydraulic pumps.
Core Components
1. Electric Motor
2. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
3. Mechanical Drive System
4. Control Panel
5. Power Supply
Major Advantages of Electric Excavator Conversion
1. Huge Operating Cost Reduction
Electric excavators can reduce operating costs by 60–70% compared to diesel machines.
Example:
Diesel Excavator
15 litres/hour × ₹100 = ₹1,500 per hour
Electric Excavator
25 kWh × ₹10 = ₹250 per hour
Savings = ₹1,250 per hour
2. Zero Emissions
Electric excavators produce no exhaust emissions, making them ideal for:
3. Lower Maintenance
Electric motors have fewer moving parts than diesel engines.
This means:
4. Higher Torque
Electric motors deliver instant torque, which improves:
5. Dual Mode Flexibility
With the dual diesel + electric system, operators get maximum flexibility.
6. No Transportation Cost
Since the conversion skid is installed directly at the customer site, there is no need to transport the excavator to a workshop, saving:
Compatible Excavator Sizes
This conversion technology can be applied to many excavator sizes such as:
Ideal Applications
Electric excavator conversion is especially useful for:
These locations often have stable electricity supply, making electric operation extremely economical.
