Emission-free performance meets powerful compaction in Hamm’s latest electric rollers

Hamm is advancing its compaction technology with the launch of new fully electric tandem rollers—the HX 70e VV-S and HX 70e VO-S. Designed to help the construction industry meet emission goals, these machines combine environmental responsibility with powerful performance. The VV-S model features two vibration drums, while the VO-S variant comes equipped with an oscillation drum, making both ideal for urban construction environments.

Quiet, efficient, and fast to recharge

Built with a proven 400-volt lithium-ion battery from Kreisel, the new models offer a capacity of 63 kWh. Charging is done via a Type 2 connector, and support for additional options like Type 1, J1772, and CCS is on the horizon. With the fast-charging feature, the battery can be topped up from 20% to 80% in less than an hour. These electric rollers offer quieter operation and greater efficiency compared to traditional diesel models, with the VO-S version especially suited to areas where noise and vibration control are essential, such as hospitals or heritage sites.

Diesel-equivalent power, simplified operation

Despite being fully electric, the HX 70e series delivers compaction power on par with, or even exceeding, that of conventional diesel rollers. The user interface has been updated with intuitive symbols, but otherwise the controls remain familiar, ensuring a smooth transition for operators used to traditional models.

Lower maintenance, long-term savings

One of the key advantages of the electric lineup is reduced maintenance. The high-voltage components are built for longevity and require fewer routine checks than their diesel counterparts. Operating costs are also significantly lower, and the machines are fully integrated with the John Deere Operations Center, providing seamless digital connectivity. As always, customers can count on Hamm’s renowned service and support.
