Volvo Construction Equipment unveils electric articulated haulers
Thanks to their powerful lithium-ion batteries, the A30 Electric hauler and A40 Electric hauler are designed to offer a runtime of 4-4.5 hours across most applications. www.volvoce.com Once again breaking new ground in electrification, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is introducing the powerful new A30 Electric and A40 Electric – the world’s first serial-produced battery-electric articulated haulers of their size class. Boasting the same unrivalled off-road performance as conventional models, the two new machines are matching zero emissions with world-class hauling for a range of segments including quarrying, mining and construction. With a payload of 29 tons and 39 tons respectively, these mighty machines are now among the largest in Volvo CE’s electric portfolio. Electric operation made easy Thanks to their powerful lithium-ion batteries, the A30 Electric hauler and A40 Electric hauler are designed to offer a runtime of 4-4.5 hours across most applications, though high-energy jobs may require more frequent recharging. They can even enjoy a runtime of up to seven hours depending on driving conditions. Ideal applications include downhill load carrying and uphill empty runs, tunnel work and quarries and underground operations, where emission reduction is critical. Fast charging from 20-80% in around one hour is made possible when using a DC charging solution with a maximum charging capacity of 350 kW. What is more, when powered by renewable energy these two machines offer a CO2 saving of 84% (for the A30 Electric) and 90% (for the A40 Electric) across their entire lifecycle, when compared to their diesel equivalents. Zero emissions with a modern design These electric models not only mark a significant step forward in sustainable innovation but also benefit from the new generation upgrade with pioneering advancements in safety, uptime and efficiency. Built on the new generation platform, they feature the same innovative, modern design and enhanced fleet management capabilities. Advantages that come with this platform include advanced operator support systems to reduce accident risk, improved visibility for safer operation and simplified servicing for quicker and easier maintenance. Maximum productivity and comfort The integrated Volvo Co-Pilot display offers easy control over media, cameras, climate and machine status, while the dynamic instrument cluster provides key data at a glance. A repositioned door, guided entry lighting and new handrails facilitate a safe entry and exit, while the comfortable and customizable cab will ensure operators enjoy an in-cab experience with more connectivity and convenience than ever before. A more comfortable work environment is also assured with an electric operation, thanks to near silence and less vibrations. Furthermore the lack of tailpipe emissions also results in the removal of harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), improving air quality for those nearby. Operators can also stay informed by checking charging status, machine hours, and energy consumption using Volvo CE’s My Equipment app, whether on-site or remotely. Add in Haul Assist, a set of tools designed to get even more productivity and efficiency from a Volvo Articulated Hauler, and the result is peak productivity, reduced energy consumption and less machine wear. A limited volume of A30 Electric and A40 Electric haulers are planned to be available in Europe for select customers from 2026, with increased production in the coming years. www.volvoce.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
