The Industry Is Changing

Traditional diesel-powered excavation equipment comes with rising fuel costs, increasing emissions, and growing operational limitations. As regulations tighten and job sites demand cleaner solutions, electric equipment is no longer a future concept—it’s a competitive advantage today.

The Real Cost of Diesel

Diesel fuel impacts more than your budget—it impacts every job site.

  • Consumes approximately 30 gallons of diesel per day

  • Produces 660 lbs of CO₂ emissions daily

  • Exceeds 3,300 lbs of CO₂ per week per unit

  • Costs about $79.50 per day in fuel

  • Adds up to over $20,000 per year in fuel costs

  • Creates noise, exhaust, and environmental constraints

A Smarter Approach: Electric + Hybrid Backup

Sharp Hydrovac electric systems are designed to eliminate diesel dependence while maintaining real-world reliability.

  • All-electric operation for zero emissions and quiet performance

  • Hybrid backup system for emergency recharging in the field

  • Uses just 4 gallons of fuel during hybrid recharge

  • Fuel cost during recharge: $10.60

  • Can operate while charging, preventing downtime

  • Ideal for remote locations, urban environments, and extended projects

The Environmental Advantage

Electric operation means cleaner jobsites and a reduced environmental footprint.

  • Zero emissions during electric operation

  • Dramatically lower CO₂ output compared to diesel systems

  • Reduced noise pollution

  • Safer for environmentally sensitive and regulated areas

The Financial Advantage

Lower fuel consumption translates directly into lower operating costs.

  • Up to 87% less fuel used during recharge

  • Significant annual fuel savings per unit

  • Reduced long-term operating expenses

  • More predictable energy costs

Built for the Real World

Electric shouldn’t mean compromise—and with Sharp, it doesn’t.

  • Proven performance in demanding excavation conditions

  • Hybrid system ensures reliability when charging infrastructure isn’t available

  • Designed for contractors, utilities, and municipalities who can’t afford downtime

The Bottom Line

  • One diesel unit can emit over 170,000 lbs of CO₂ per year

  • Sharp’s electric and hybrid technology delivers a cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective solution

  • Less fuel. Less maintenance. Less emissions. More control.
