WHICH ONE · DECISION GUIDE

Three models, three customer profiles.

COMPACT PROFILE
L938HEV
For those starting electrification or operating in tight spaces.

The L938HEV is the gateway to electric technology. Compact dimensions, faster recharge and lower upfront investment — ideal for fleets that want to pilot electric operation before scaling up.

Industrial yards, nurseries and light urban operations
Loading and unloading in warehouses and DCs
Mixed fleets with 1-2 electric machines in pilot
BRAZILIAN STANDARD
L956HEV
The most versatile choice — the balance of power, range and investment.

The L956HEV is the workhorse of SDLG's electric line in Brazil. Proven 5-tonne platform, with a battery robust enough for a full shift and a 60% lower operating cost than the diesel equivalent.

Civil construction, earthworks and urban sites
Heavy logistics and port terminal handling
8h-12h/day operations with overnight off-peak charging
HEAVY-DUTY PROFILE
L972HEV

TCO · TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

Lower total cost. Faster payback.

The purchase price of an electric machine is higher, but the total cost of ownership over its lifetime is significantly lower. Independent studies show consistent savings in three areas.

−65%
Energy cost
Grid electricity costs about R$ 8/h in typical use, vs. R$ 22/h with S10 diesel at R$ 6.50/L.
SOURCE: SDLG TECHNICAL DATA + ANEEL 2025
−50%
Maintenance cost
No oil, filter, belt or injector changes. Fewer moving parts, fewer scheduled stops.
SOURCE: IDTECHEX, OCT/2024
+90%
Uptime
Night operation enabled in urban centers (low noise) and recharge cycles at off-peak rates.
SOURCE: MCKINSEY, APR/2019
Typical payback: In intensive-use fleets (8h+/day), the additional investment pays off in 3 to 4 years, with cumulative savings of over R$ 1.2 million in 10 years.

CARBON FOOTPRINT · ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Every electric hour is diesel not burned.

The same operational parameters from the calculator translate into tons of CO₂ that your fleet avoids emitting every year. Numbers below are the avoided impact of operating the three electric loaders instead of their diesel equivalents.

01
0 g/h
Direct emission
Zero CO₂, NOx and particulates on the operation site. Reduces project carbon footprint and supports LEED certification.
02
65 dB
Operating noise
Equivalent to a normal conversation. Enables 24h operation in urban centers, hospitals and near schools.
03

Operational risk
Less heat, less vibration, less noise — operators report lower fatigue at end-of-shift and greater cabin comfort.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS

Where electric delivers the highest return.

01
Urban yards and sites
Night operation without disturbing the neighborhood. Noise equivalent to an idling passenger car.
02
Underground mining
No CO and NOx emissions, dramatically reducing ventilation costs — which can reach 40% of a mine's energy bill.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything your fleet needs to know before going electric.

What is the real run-time of the L956HEV in continuous operation?+
In typical load-and-carry use (50-meter cycle, full bucket, flat terrain), the L956HEV operates 6 to 8 hours on a full charge. In lighter operations, it can reach 10 hours.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?+
With a fast CCS2 charger (180 kW), the battery goes from 20% to 80% in about 1h30. Full charge with a standard charger (40 kW) takes about 6 hours — ideal for overnight.
What is the battery life and warranty?+
The L956HEV LFP battery has an estimated life of more than 8,000 operating hours or 10 years. Official warranty is 5 years or 8,000 hours, whichever comes first, with capacity-level maintenance.
How long until the electric machine pays itself off?+
For fleets with intensive use (more than 8 hours/day, 22 days/month), payback typically occurs in 3 to 4 years. In lighter use, up to 6 years. Tracbel offers a customized TCO analysis for each customer.
Do operators need special training?+
Yes. Tracbel offers free training of 8h for operators and 16h for mechanics at machine delivery, covering electrical safety procedures, efficient operation and basic diagnostics.
How does after-sales work in case of a battery problem?+
Tracbel has high-voltage certified mechanics in the 14 states of coverage. In the event of a battery failure under warranty, replacement takes up to 72h at any unit, at no cost to the customer.
