During World of Concrete, Husqvarna Construction showcased upcoming battery-powered light construction equipment that will help contractors work without fuel, cords and direct emissions. Opening opportunities to take on new tasks and get the job done — more quietly and with ease.
During World of Concrete 2022, contractors had a chance to experience several battery-powered products from two different battery ecosystems.
PACE
Powerful. Agile. Cordless. Electric. The PACE battery system unveiled with the K1 PACE high power battery cutter.
