Construction Technology

Cut the Cord: Electrify Tools, Equipment

Milwaukee Tool Corp.

The construction industry’s shift toward battery-powered tools and equipment is being driven by the increased productivity and versatility they bring to the jobsite.

The lithium-ion batteries of today run longer, charge faster, are much more powerful, and more reliable than their ancestors from 10 years ago.

Embracing Circularity to Reduce Environmental Impact in Construction

One promising way to minimize waste from the construction and demolition phases is establishing a circular economy, in which construction companies continuously recycle and reuse building materials for new purposes and/or in new projects.

Drywall can be broken down and repurposed into fertilizer, and even concrete can be broken down and reused to improve performance and reduce emissions.

Near-zero Emissions Diesel Vehicles Increased 4% Over 2022

Engine Technology Forum

Gasoline, diesel, natural gas and propane continue to be the primary fuel and technology choices for U.S. commercial trucks, with the population of advanced technology near-zero emissions diesels increasing 4% over 2022.

From 2010 through 2030, this generation of diesels will save approximately 1.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, 130 billion gallons of fuel, yield a cumulative savings of 1 million tons of particulate matter and 18 million tons of nitrogen oxide emissions.
