Oklahoma City, OK – February 25, 2025 — Sharp Equipment, the worldwide innovator in electric-powered hydro excavation construction equipment, is proud to announce the launch of the world’s first all-electric hydro excavator, now upgraded with hybrid technology. This groundbreaking hybrid system integrates a portable, removable electric generator, allowing the hydro excavator to recharge in emergency situations with far less fuel consumption than traditional models.

Innovative Hybrid Technology
Sharp Equipments latest innovation introduces an eco-friendly solution to an industry historically dominated by fuel-powered machinery. By adding a portable electric generator, the company has created a hybrid hydro excavator that can be quickly powered up in the field when necessary. This enhancement makes the unit even more versatile and adaptable, especially for use in remote locations or in extended operations where traditional charging infrastructure may not be available.

Sharp Equipment is excited to offer the EV2 and EV models, both equipped with our innovative hybrid system.  The hybrid system uses just four gallons of fuel to recharge the unit compared to the 30 gallons used by traditional vacuum excavators, saving an impressive amount of fuel and reducing carbon emissions significantly. With fuel prices averaging $2.65 per gallon, this means the Sharp EV hybrid system uses only $10.60 worth of fuel in emergency situations, compared to $79.50 for a traditional vac system.

In addition to this remarkable fuel efficiency, the unit can also operate while charging, ensuring that your project can continue without any downtime, even while the battery system is being recharged.

Cost Savings and Environmental Impact
This leap forward in hybrid technology provides cost savings to customers, with significantly reduced fuel consumption. Moreover, the all-electric aspect of the hydro excavator allows for quieter operations and zero emissions, making it ideal for work in environmentally sensitive areas or where noise reduction is essential.

“We’re incredibly excited to offer a product that not only meets the growing demand for sustainable, electric construction equipment but also solves a key operational challenge with our hybrid solution,” said Dan Sharpe, President of Sharp Equipment “This system is a direct response to feedback from our customers, who need reliable, cost-effective equipment that works across a variety of job sites and circumstances.”

Customer-Centric Innovation
Sharp EV’s focus on creating solutions that meet the needs of their customers is at the core of their mission. The new hybrid hydro excavator gives contractors, utilities, and municipalities a powerful tool that minimizes downtime and ensures that the job can be completed on time, even in the most challenging conditions.
