Takeuchi will bring two all-new electric excavator prototypes, the TB10e and the TB35e, to bauma 2025 in Munich, Germany. Also on display will be the TB20e electric excavator in a new cab configuration that will be available in the U.S., Europe, and Canada as of Q3 2025.
Takeuchi prototype machines on display at bauma 2025:
TB10e: The new TB10e prototype weighs in at 1,180 kgs (2,600 lbs.) with compact dimensions to fit in tighter spaces than the TB20e. The excavator offers a dig depth of 1,755 mm (5.8 ft), a maximum reach of 3,285 mm (10.8 ft), and a bucket breakout force of 11.2 kN (2,518 lbf). Its slew speed is 9.6 min-1 with a travel speed ranging from 2.0 to 3.8 km/h (1.2 to 2.4 mph). The primary auxiliary flow is 24 L/min (6.3 gpm). When fully charged, the TB10e provides up to two hours of working time in standard mode and up to four hours when in ECO mode. The TB10e’s external charger is compatible with three-phase power, operating at 340 to 460V in Europe and Japan, and 408 to 552V in the U.S. A single-phase, on-board charger can operate on input voltages ranging from 95V to 265V, making it compatible with various power grids. Full charge time ranges from three hours when using the external charger to 4.5 hours using the onboard version. Built to perform in temperatures ranging from -15°C to 45°C (5°F to 113°F).
TB35e: This model features a zero-emission performance with an electric powertrain to meet the needs of any job site, the TB35e prototype weighs in at 3,960 kg (8,730 lbs.), making it the largest electric excavator in Takeuchi’s current lineup. Operators can expect up to three hours of runtime in standard mode and four hours of runtime in ECO mode when the TB35e is fully charged. With a maximum dig depth of 3,205 mm (10.5 feet) and a reach of 5,430 mm (17.8 ft), it offers versatile capabilities, while its bucket breakout force of 27.1 kN (6,092 lbf) ensures strong digging performance. The machine supports multiple auxiliary flow options up to 64.5 L/min (17 gpm) for easy attachment compatibility. Charging is flexible, with an external charger enabling a full charge in just four hours (400V 3-phase) or an onboard charger for overnight charging in seven hours (200V 3-phase). Like the TB10e, the TB35e can be charged and operated in temperatures ranging from -15°C to 45°C (5°F to 113°F).
TB20e (cab configuration): The new 2,125 kg (4,685 lb.) cab model TB20e is slightly heavier than the current,1,930 kg (4,255 lb.) canopy model. Its 12.6 kW electric motor is powered by a 24.7 kWh lithium-ion battery that offers a continuous working range of up to eight hours, depending on application and environment. The excavator features an on-board charger with 95V to 265V single-phase power. The optional external charger supports three-phase power, with a voltage range of 340 to 460V in Europe and Japan, and 408 to 552V in the U.S., delivering efficient, high-speed charging tailored to regional power grids.
The TB20e has a maximum dig depth of 2,390 mm (7.8 feet) and a maximum reach of 4,090 mm (13.4 ft). A primary hydraulic circuit delivers 34.0 L/min (9.0 gpm) for running hydraulically driven attachments. Depending on the region, the TB20e may also be equipped with up to four service ports. The TB20e features an independent circuit for the slew function which provides smooth control and improved battery life. Travel speed ranges from 2.1 km/h to 4.0 km/h (1.3 to 2.5 mph). As with the TB10e and TB35e prototypes, the TB20e can be charged and operated in temperatures ranging from -15°C to 45°C (5°F to 113°F).
Expansive products on display at buama
In addition to these machines, the Takeuchi stand will feature 11 other excavator models and two track loaders in sizes ranging from one to 16 tonnes. All Takeuchi machines work in multiple industries, including construction, agriculture, landscaping, rental, and recycling. Numerous attachments designed for Takeuchi machines will also be on display.
“At Takeuchi, we understand that environmental responsibility is a global priority,” said Clay Eubanks, director, sales, and aftersales for Takeuchi. “As demand for eco-friendly, zero-emission equipment grows, we’re committed to expanding our electric product line — delivering excavators that provide the same power and productivity customers expect, without the emissions.”
“Bauma is always a wonderful opportunity for Takeuchi to showcase our latest products and prototypes to a global audience,” said Toshiya Takeuchi, president of Takeuchi. “Our stand at bauma reflects Takeuchi’s innovative spirit, as well as our ongoing quest to better understand our customers’ needs and then develop products that uniquely answer those needs.”
