N2 - This article presents a comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of the development of powertrain technologies for energy-efficient heavy-duty earthmoving machines. The heavy-duty earthmoving equipment industry has been among the biggest contributors to emissions globally. However, due to high power demand and multidisciplinary powertrain structures, improving the energy efficiency of heavy-duty mobile machines has been a pressing and challenging task in the industry. To cope with this challenge, hydraulics and power electronics (PE) have been the key driving forces. As such, the relative developments in both fields are covered in this article. For hydraulics, developments of efficient hydraulic circuits will be overviewed in detail along with the introduction of hydraulic energy recovery technologies. In addition, developments of PE architectures in hybrid and electrified machines will be introduced. Furthermore, potential medium-voltage dc mining site power distribution and the valves of wide bandgap devices will also be discussed with the hope to open up new research opportunities in PE. Moreover, emerging hybrid electrohydraulic drive technology is introduced. Based on the overview in this article, it is anticipated that electrohydraulic hybridization will be the future trend in the earthmoving machine industry. Deeper collaboration between the two areas is desirable.
