Electricity: Despite stabilization of wholesale prices at approximately 95 USD/MWh, the retail industrial tariff in the EU (including grid costs, renewable energy levies, and supplier margins) averages €0.23 per kWh.
Diesel Fuel: The weighted average industrial price of diesel fuel in Europe (excluding recoverable VAT but including excise duties) is assumed at €1.50 per liter.
AdBlue (DEF): For Stage V compliance, engines are equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. AdBlue consumption is approximately 6% of fuel consumption. AdBlue cost is €1.00 per liter.
Equipment Profiles (Arjes Impaktor 250):
- Diesel version (EVO II): Volvo Penta TAD581VE engine, rated 129 kW (173 HP metric). Fuel consumption under 70% load during concrete shredding: approximately 18 liters per hour.
- Electric version (E-PU): 160 kW electric motor. Average energy consumption at 70% load: 110 kWh/hour (accounting for peak starting currents and hydraulic station operation).

Energy consumption per hour: Diesel 18.0 L/h (diesel) + 1.08 L/h (AdBlue) vs. Electric 77.0 kWh/h.
Modeling note on electric consumption: The Equipment Profile states 70% load including peak starting currents and hydraulic station operation. The OPEX table uses 77.0 kWh/h, which represents the time-averaged steady-state consumption after excluding intermittent peak inrush currents (6-8x rated for 3-5 seconds per start cycle) and deducting the hydraulic station's standby draw during non-shredding intervals. Derivation: 77.0 kWh/h corresponds to an effective continuous load of approximately 48% of the 160 kW rated motor power (77.0 / 160 = 0.48), which is consistent with a 70% mechanical load factor applied to a time-averaged operating cycle that includes both active shredding and idle repositioning phases.
Energy cost per hour: Diesel €27.00 + €1.08 = €28.08 vs. Electric €17.71. Hourly saving: €10.37.
Energy costs (10,000 h): Diesel €280,800 vs. Electric €177,100. Total energy saving: €103,700.
Maintenance cost per hour: Diesel €4.50 vs. Electric €0.80. Hourly saving: €3.70.
Maintenance costs (10,000 h): Diesel €45,000 vs. Electric €8,000. Total maintenance saving: €37,000.
Total OPEX (10,000 h): Diesel €325,800 vs. Electric €185,100. Total saving: €140,700.
Cost per operating hour (OPEX): Diesel €32.58/h vs. Electric €18.51/h.
Note: Calculations are based on algorithmic financial modeling of heavy machinery load profiles. The interactive chart below includes additional cost categories (DPF/SCR service, oil, filters) not shown in this base OPEX table, which is why chart totals differ from the table above.
