Abstract
Trenchless technologies represent an innovative opportunity to improve quality, sustainability and overall costs of many construction works dealing with installation of various kind of ser-vices and utilities especially in crowded urban environments where interactions of conventional construction yards with surrounding community should produce an additional impact also in terms of costs. In this work it is proposed and investigated the electrification of this kind of machines to improve their sustainability efficiency and productivity. Main topics treated in the work are design and simulation procedures of a machine prototype that has been successfully tested proving to be an innovative market-ready solution.
