The L 507 E battery-electric wheel loader has been available from Liebherr sales partners in several European countries since Octobre 2023. The model is the first electric wheel loader in the group. It combines the demonstrable advantages of a Liebherr Stereoloader with a battery-electric drive design developed by Liebherr.

Depending on the respective operating conditions, the L 507 E offers a running time of up to eight hours. Liebherr’s modular battery design also makes it possible to install a second lithium-ion battery ex works at the customer’s request, which further increases the running time. Depending on the on-board charging technology and power rating, the battery can be fully charged in about one and a half to three hours.

As standard, the wheel loader has a final speed of 20 km/h. However, the L 507 E is also optionally available as a “Speeder” and in this version reaches a speed of up to 30 km/h, which makes it easier to move the wheel loader, from one job site to another. To increase efficiency, the energy generated downhill and during braking is fed back into the battery through recuperation.

The L 507 E is based on the conventional Liebherr L 507 Stereo wheel loader. This means that the new battery-electric wheel loader also features stereo steering. This combination of articulated steering and steered rear axle combines the advantages of conventional articulated steering with those of all-wheel steering. This results in a minimal turning circle and a reduced articulation angle of 30 degrees, which increases the stability of the wheel loader. Liebherr has also installed its reputable articulated pendulum joint in the L 507 E, which compensates for uneven ground and ensures that the wheel loader has excellent stability.
