JCB has released its first electric excavator, touted as the quietest digger in its range.

The manufacturer says the zero-emission JCB 19C-1 E-TEC mini excavator will allow contractors to work inside buildings and in emissions-sensitive inner city environments.

It will also allow rail contractors to operate in tunnels and underground, without having to install costly exhaust extraction equipment.
