Avant e500 Series – The Future of Electric Loaders

Silent, Powerful, and Emission-Free

The Avant e500 Series marks a new generation of electric loaders, combining cutting-edge battery technology with the power and versatility you expect from Avant. Designed specifically for low-noise and emission-free operation, these loaders are ideal for indoor and enclosed spaces, as well as construction sites where environmental regulations are strict.

At the heart of the Avant e 500Series is the Avant OptiTemp® lithium-ion battery, engineered for reliability and performance in all working conditions. With a fast-charging system and advanced thermal management, these loaders provide extended working hours with reduced downtime, making them an efficient and cost-effective choice for professionals.

Choosing the Right Avant e-Series Model

The Avant e-Series offers two distinct models to suit different applications:

  • Avant e513 – Equipped with a 13 kWh lithium-ion battery, this model is perfect for lighter, intermittent tasks such as work in stables, nurseries, greenhouses, and indoor environments. With an approximate operating time of 3 hours, it provides the power needed for daily operations in confined spaces.
  • Avant e527 – Featuring a 27 kWh lithium-ion battery, this model is built for demanding professional use. With up to 6 hours of operating time, it is the ideal solution for construction and demolition projects, allowing for all-day performance on a single charge.

Both models maintain the compact size and power of Avant’s diesel-powered 500 Series but eliminate engine emissions and intensive maintenance requirements.

100% Electric for a Sustainable Future

The Avant e-Series delivers all the power and functionality of a traditional loader while meeting evolving environmental and noise regulations. Its zero-emission operation makes it the perfect machine for low-ventilation environments like warehouses, tunnels, and agricultural settings.

Key Benefits:

  • Advanced OptiTemp® lithium-ion battery

    Next-gen thermal management system ensures efficiency in all weather conditions.

  • Quiet and emission-free operation

    Ideal for sensitive environments and noise-restricted areas.

  • Optidrive® drive system

    Delivers more power to both the transmission and hydraulic attachments.

  • Built for year-round use

    Reliable performance in both extreme heat and freezing temperatures.

The tool that will become your best friend.

Revolutionary Battery Technology

Avant’s electric loaders are powered by globally unique battery technology, developed by Avant Power in Finland. With one of the highest energy densities in the industry, these lithium-ion batteries deliver double the capacity of previous models.

Innovative OptiTemp® technology ensures that battery temperature is automatically regulated, allowing the loader to perform optimally in extreme cold or heat. The system preheats the battery when connected to the charger in winter conditions, eliminating downtime due to freezing temperatures.

For added security, Avant’s immersion cooling system prevents overheating by maintaining a consistent internal battery temperature. This multi-layered protection system ensures reliability, durability, and extended battery life.

Fast charging in under 1.5 hours

Charging is faster and more convenient than ever with Avant’s rapid charging system. The standard 3 kW charger is included with every e-Series loader, but for those requiring minimal downtime, optional rapid chargers are available:

  • 400V / 16A Fast Charger – Reduces charging time significantly.
  • 400V / 32A Ultra Fast Charger – Charges the Avant e527 almost fully in under 1.5 hours.

The rapid charger is portable and easy to transport, equipped with quick-attach brackets, forklift slots, and lifting lugs for convenient handling on job sites.

Best of all, Avant’s latest rapid chargers are fully compatible with previous Avant electric loader models, allowing you to upgrade your loader without purchasing a new charging station.

Loader model Avant e513 Avant e527
Onboard charger 3 kW, standard 2 h 50 min 5 h 40 min
Rapid charger 400 V / 16 A, option 1 h 10 min 2 h 20 min
Rapid charger 400 V / 32 A, option – 1 h 10 min

Charging time is affected by prevailing conditions and temperature. The charging times are indicated from 10% to 80% of the battery’s available charge level (SOC).

Lower Running Costs & Simplified Maintenance

One of the key advantages of switching to electric is the significant reduction in running and maintenance costs. Unlike diesel-powered models, the Avant e-Series eliminates the need for engine servicing, reducing maintenance time and costs by up to 50%.

  • No engine oil, coolant, or filters to replace – The only routine maintenance required is hydraulic oil and filter changes.
  • Fewer service checkpoints – Less time spent on maintenance means more time getting work done.
  • Cost-effective operation – Lower energy consumption compared to fuel-powered alternatives.

With fewer moving parts and virtually maintenance-free batteries and motors, the Avant e-Series ensures long-term reliability and lower ownership costs.

Options

Snow chains, road traffic light kits and loads of other options.
