Abstract Already enacted carbon-dioxide (­ CO2) limiting legislations for passenger cars and heavy duty vehicles, drive motivations to consider electrification also in the sector of non-road mobile machinery. Up to now, only the emissions of the vehicles themselves have been restricted. However, to capture the overall situation, a more global assessment approach is necessary. The study described in this article applies a tank-to-wheel and an extended well-to-wheel approach based on simulations to compare three different powertrains: a battery electric drive, a parallel electric hybrid drive, and a series electric hybrid drive. The results show that electrification is not per se the better solution in terms of keeping ­CO2 emissions at a minimum, as battery electric powertrains are accountable for the lowest as well as the highest possible C ­ O2 emissions of all powertrains compared. A battery electric machine is not economically competitive if its battery has to last a whole working day. Parallel hybrid systems do not achieve much of an advantage in terms of ­CO2 emissions. In this global assessment approach, the most promising propulsion system for wheel-driven-mobile-machinery appears to be the series hybrid system, which shows to offer up to 20% of CO2 saving potential compared to the current machine.

1 Introduction For the vast majority of mobile machinery, the dominant power source is a diesel engine. The share of “non-road mobile machinery” (NRMM) in total European fuel consumption of passenger and goods transport was 11% in 2010 [1]. This corresponds to 2% of total European carbondioxide ­(CO2) emissions in the same reference year. Current European legislation for NRMM covers a broad range of machinery typically used off the road. The legislation determines different performance classes for which emission limits are set respectively, ranging from machines like
