Avant E series – The full electric Avant
The renewed Avant e500-series starts a new era for electric loaders. These third-generation electric loaders are equipped with Avant OptiTemp® lithium-ion batteries, designed and produced specifically for Avant loaders. The batteries are manufactured by Avant Power in Ylöjärvi, Finland.
The Avant e500-series sets a new standard in compact loader innovation with its 100% electric powertrain, delivering zero emissions and near-silent operation. Built for indoor use and environmentally sensitive sites, the e513 and e527 offer full functionality without compromising on performance. They match their diesel counterparts in hydraulic power, lifting capacity, and compact maneuverability—making them a viable replacement in agriculture, landscaping, construction, and municipal work.
What makes the e500-series stand out isn’t just its clean energy footprint—it’s the smart design behind it. Features like Avant’s signature multi-connector system, and intuitive joystick controls enhance ease of use and operator comfort. It’s the go-to solution for stables, greenhouses, warehouses, and urban spaces where emissions, noise, and safety are top concerns.
On top of that, the e500-series reduces long-term ownership costs with fewer moving parts, lower maintenance needs, and eligibility for green equipment grants in many regions. For operations aiming to future-proof their equipment while upholding environmental responsibility, the Avant e500-series delivers unmatched versatility, innovation, and value.
OptiTemp® Lithium-Ion Power
At the heart of the Avant e-Series is the exclusive OptiTemp® lithium-ion battery system, designed and manufactured by Avant Power in Ylöjärvi, Finland. These batteries are built specifically for the demands of compact loaders, ensuring safe, reliable performance in any weather and under continuous load.
Unlike generic battery solutions, OptiTemp® packs feature advanced temperature management that keeps cells operating in the ideal range—even in extreme cold or heat. This technology maximizes both lifespan and safety, setting Avant apart as the only loader manufacturer in the world with its own dedicated battery production.
With options ranging from 13 kWh to 27 kWh, users can choose the right capacity based on runtime needs. And thanks to onboard and fast-charging options, you can keep your workflow moving efficiently across work shifts or seasonal demands.
Near-Silent Operation
The Avant e-series delivers true zero-emission performance, making it ideal for indoor environments like warehouses, stables, and greenhouses where air quality is crucial. It also eliminates noise pollution, enabling early-morning or late-night work in residential or urban areas without disturbance.
Operators experience a quiet, comfortable work environment that reduces fatigue and improves focus. This opens up new opportunities for contracts in schools, hospitals, parks, and any location where diesel engines are restricted or banned.
The clean energy profile doesn’t just benefit the environment—it also reflects positively on your business. Clients increasingly value contractors and companies who align with sustainability goals, and the e-series helps set you apart.
Smart, Efficient Charging Options
Avant e-series loaders come with flexible charging options to fit every worksite. Standard onboard chargers plug into any household outlet, while optional fast-charging systems can cut downtime significantly—ideal for high-use operations.
Charging is safe and fully automated, with thermal monitoring and voltage balancing to protect battery health. The system is engineered for long-term durability, ensuring thousands of cycles without performance loss.
This flexibility means operators can easily charge during breaks, overnight, or between jobs. Combined with the loader’s low daily operating cost, the e-series makes financial and operational sense for forward-thinking businesses.
Same Power, Same Performance
Despite its electric drivetrain, the e-series delivers hydraulic output, lifting capacity, and drive torque that match comparable diesel models. This means no compromise when running high-demand attachments like sweepers, mowers, or augers.
The loaders feature a telescopic boom, rigid articulation joint, and four-wheel hydrostatic drive—core components of the Avant concept—ensuring the same precision, stability, and efficiency users expect. You’re not giving up power for sustainability; you’re getting both.
It’s this balance of performance and innovation that makes the e-series a practical workhorse for serious professionals—without the emissions, fuel costs, or engine maintenance of combustion models.
Avant E series features
- Especially suitable for indoor use where ventilation is limited or non-existent and there are strict noise restrictions
- Battery powered electric loader
- Zero emission
- Extremely low noise
- Low operating costs
- e5 is equipped with a lead acid battery unite6 is the first compact loader with lithium-ion battery
- The quick attach system as well as the multi connector for the attachment hydraulics are the same as in other Avant models, so the large attachment range is suitable also to the e series.
- The loader has an integrated battery charger as standard, which makes it possible to charge batteries anywhere a 230 volt / 10A power outlet is available. The e series can also be operated while charging the batteries.
- Option: rapid battery charger for Avant e6
There are two models available: 400V/16A and 400V/32A.
The rapid charger reduces charging time of the lithium-ion battery considerably, compared with the built-in 230V/10A charger. - Equipped with a certified ROPS safety canopy and FOPS safety roof as standard
- Optidrive™ drive circuit developed by Avant improves the performance of the loader by even 10 %
