The 2.5-ton BW 100 AD e-5 BOMAG tandem vibratory roller is a battery-electric powered machine. It has a 39.4-inch rolling width.

Similar to the diesel-powered BW 100 AD-5, the electric roller allows for individual vibration control to both drums, and vibration actuation is controlled through the soft-response travel lever. Tailoring compaction output to the job, the roller offers two vibration frequencies of 3,900 and 3,360 vpm with a single amplitude of 0.20 inch, generating 7,194 and 5,395 pounds centrifugal force.

The 48V system has 25-kWh, lithium-ion batteries that offer plenty of capacity for a typical day’s work before recharging, according to BOMAG. Its recuperative system works during braking, converting mechanical energy back into electrical. The roller offers flexible plug and charging options.

The e-Performance system is equipped with two electric motors: one dedicated to travel and the other for steering and vibration. A 26.8-horsepower (19,7 kW) electric motor propels the front and rear driven drums at working speeds of 0-3.1 mph and travel speeds reaching 6.2 mph. When traveling, the roller only uses one motor to conserve energy consumption.
