A first for Jan De Nul and Caterpillar: first electric drive dozer working in Belgium

With its electric drive system, the new D6 XE reaches a higher level of productivity than its predecessors, while achieving lower fuel consumption and is therefore more sustainable. As such, the dozer complies with the strictest and most recent emission standards in Europe, the Stage V standards. Jan De Nul has already ordered a second unit, which will be delivered later this year.

The purchase of these sustainable dozers fits in with Jan De Nul’s climate ambitions and our commitment to reduce our energy consumption and CO2 emissions. From ultra-low emission vessels and the use of biofuel, to energy-efficient site offices with 80% less energy consumption, to the electrification of our car fleet and machinery: we go for the lowest possible ecological footprint! Since 2013, Jan De Nul has also been certified for the CO2 performance ladder, an instrument that allows companies to demonstrate their awareness and reduction of CO2. Thanks to our efforts, we have reached the fifth and highest level.
