The first SEM electric wheel loader SEM658F was launched in China, June 2022. This is a significant step towards our efforts on sustainable development through technology and innovation. The SEM658F is a fully electric drive wheel loader, producing zero exhaust emissions, supporting customers’ environmental goals, while delivering the performance our customers need.

The brand-new SEM658F electric wheel loader retains the reliability and durability of SEM products. It features a proven electrohydraulic control management system and electrohydraulic control transmission and provides operators an ergonomic and comfortable cab. Zero exhaust emissions enable our customers to meet their environmental compliance needs, as well as help our customers lower their operations and maintenance costs.

Reliable Hardware Enabling Stability and Durability

Intelligent temperature control system provides better heat radiation, constant power and low energy consumption.

Proven electrohydraulic-control countershaft transmission is integrated with the electric motor, increasing durability, and reducing component failures.

Three-level electrical safety system and automatic protection program are designed with the safety of personnel and machine in mind. 

High Power and Productivity

The lithium iron phosphate battery provides a safe, stable, high-powered and fast charging capability power solution. 

Performance Series buckets using Caterpillar technology offer higher load fill factors and more production.

Central hinge design provides smaller turning radius and more flexible manipulation.

Optimized hydraulic performance delivers short raise/dump/lower hydraulic cycle time and efficient operation.

Flexible Operation in a Quiet and Comfortable Environment

The machine produces zero exhaust emissions, provides reduced noise levels, and improved comfort.

Automatic climate control, adjustable mechanical suspension seat and optimized visibility enhance operating comfort.

Standard 8-inch LCD screen provides convenient monitoring on machine status at any time.

Pilot hydraulic joystick enables low-effort and flexible operation; quick steering switch and quick shifts button increase operating efficiency.

Intelligent Management for Energy and Cost Savings

Battery-electric design reduces operating cost due to less fuel costs.

Machine energy recovery function contributes to an enhanced battery life.

Integrated inverter and power distribution control system simplifies maintenance and increases versatility.

Eliminating wearing parts cost and maintenance on engine and torque converter leads to reduced maintenance cost.

The new SEM658F electric wheel loader has undergone extensive testing to ensure safety, reliability and durability. With a successful field follow program underway, we estimate the product will be commercially available in China in July 2022. Editor / Zhao E
