Electric wheel loader enters Indonesian operations
Volvo Construction Equipment expands low-emission construction equipment deployment with the country’s first operational electric wheel loader. www.volvoce.com The first L120 Electric in action in Indonesia. Electric construction machinery is beginning to move from pilot projects to active deployment in Indonesia’s heavy-duty sectors, including mining, port logistics, and plantation operations. In this context, Volvo Construction Equipment has delivered the first L120 Electric wheel loader to operate in the Indonesian market, marking a transition from trials to real-world use of battery-electric equipment. From pilot trials to operational deployment The handover took place on December 1, when Volvo CE’s Indonesian dealer PT Indotruck Utama delivered the machine to PT Tegas Guna Mandiri. This marked the first commercial deployment of a Volvo CE electric wheel loader in Indonesia. The delivery follows earlier electrification steps in the country, including trials of the L25 Electric and the introduction of the ECR25 Electric compact excavator and L25 Electric compact wheel loader in 2023. Together, these initiatives indicate a phased approach to introducing electric construction equipment, progressing from compact machines to larger wheel loaders. Application context: mining, plantations, and port logistics PT Tegas Guna Mandiri operates across mining and plantation sectors, with a significant focus on port logistics and stockpile management in the Jambi region. These applications typically involve repetitive loading cycles, predictable duty profiles, and operation within defined sites—conditions that are compatible with battery-electric drivetrains. The deployment of the L120 Electric aligns with the company’s operational priorities, combining material handling productivity with reduced local emissions and lower noise levels in industrial environments. Role of the dealer network in technology adoption The delivery highlights the role of the local dealer network in enabling the adoption of low-emission construction equipment. PT Indotruck Utama supported the handover and initial deployment, positioning itself as a facilitator for advanced equipment integration in Indonesian operations. The collaboration between Volvo CE, its dealer, and the end user reflects a coordinated approach to introducing electric machinery, combining equipment supply, operational readiness, and local support. Positioning within Indonesia’s electrification trajectory With the L120 Electric now in operation, electric wheel loader technology has moved beyond demonstration stages in Indonesia. The deployment signals growing customer readiness to integrate electric machines into demanding applications while maintaining established expectations for productivity, reliability, and safety. As Volvo CE continues to expand its electric portfolio in the region, the L120 Electric deployment serves as a reference point for further adoption of low-emission solutions across mining, logistics, and plantation sectors. www.volvoce.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
