Bauma 2025, the world’s leading annual trade fair in the construction industry, took place in April in Munich, Germany, drawing about 600 000 visitors from more than 200 countries. The event hosted approximately 3 600 exhibitors who showcased the latest in construction and mining technology. One of the standout themes at this year’s event was electrification, with a strong push toward battery-operated machinery across the industry. This marks a major shift in large-scale access, handling and lifting equipment. Expanding beyond smaller scissor lifts to large booms and telehandlers proves that even the largest and most demanding equipment can now be powered by electricity. Advancements in lithium battery technology are enabling larger equipment to operate efficiently, reducing maintenance costs and improving sustainability.
