With the widest range of electric construction machines available on the market today, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is showcasing that the journey towards emission free jobsites is well under way. Here we take a look at the wide range of real-life applications where these electric machines are already in action.
Volvo CE believes that electromobility has the power to change the way customers do business – by opening up work in new places, in sensitive environments and even indoors, thanks to the near silence and zero exhaust emissions that they bring. No longer is electromobility a niche option – change is here, and the company’s technology is already proving to be a reliable and emission-free solution for customers today.
The company’s electric range incorporates the ECR18 Electric and EC18 Electric compact excavators and the L25 Electric and L20 Electric compact wheel loaders available in select Europe and North America markets, and the ECR25 Electric, available in select Europe, North America and Asia markets, together with the EC55 Electric excavator, available for now only in China. For medium-sized equipment, Volvo CE has introduced the 23-ton EC230 Electric excavator in selected markets. These solutions are proving their potential for more efficient and more sustainable operations with just as much power and performance as their diesel counterparts.
Charging is understandably a high priority for customers using electric construction equipment, but thanks to a range of charging solutions provided by Volvo CE, they can be assured operations will stay up and running no matter the application. All machines come with on-board and off-board chargers specific to the region, but we advise all customers to speak to their local dealer to find out the best fit for them.
Pioneering new technologies in Asia and Europe
Currently the largest of Volvo CE’s range of battery electric solutions is the 23-ton EC230 Electric excavator, available as part of a comprehensive offer together with the appropriate power unit. It delivers the same digging force and lifting capacity as its conventional counterpart but with less noise and zero emissions.
It has already proved capable of helping to build part of Sejong Smart City in South Korea as part of a pioneering testbed for innovative construction solutions in the shaping of a smart, connected city built for future urban living. Since then and due to a strong pull from the market, Norway has introduced the EC230 Electric and confirmed the efficacy of these machines across different applications in working alongside other machines in real-life construction sites.
