the 944k has a diesel engine that drives a gearbox that drives an alternator and a hydraulic pump. The alternator drives the Drive Motors in each wheel position.
Late comment here, nice video nice I know it is a promotion video but I like seeing the rock or stone material being blasted and the shots of the wheel loader scoops up the material awesome video. I wonder do you have video of the work without the music cause I like seeing and hearing the sound of the rock or stone being crushed and stockpiled. Keep up the good work
Caterpillar has been making a 988 since 1963.Thats five full years before any John Deere wheel loader appearred.Also Komatsu recently updated their WA600 with the new WA600-8.The WA600 has been on the market since 1986.Thats 30 years.So these are not hybrids.

what year other manufacturers started making loaders has nothing to do with why these ARE hybrids
This quarry needs dump trucks. Those tires are going to wear out fast.
the reason they call it a hybrid is because it's the only loader that's ever had electric Drive
I think letourneau was the first company to use electric drive on wheeloaders. Long before deere even made loaders tbh
