Volvo CE Unveils World’s First Electric Hauler in Germany

Munich, Germany, 8 April 2025: Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is making headlines in Munich, Germany, by unveiling a revolutionary all-electric lineup that redefines innovation in construction machinery. A major highlight is the debut of the world’s first battery-electric articulated haulers in their size class, marking a significant breakthrough in sustainable heavy equipment.

While the focus is on zero-emission models, Volvo CE emphasises that conventional combustion engine options will remain available for all zero-emission models on display, ensuring flexibility for customers at various stages of their sustainability journey. Beyond the machinery, Volvo CE is also unveiling a suite of pioneering service solutions designed to enhance customer productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. 

In an official press release by Volvo, Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, stated, “This zero-emission lineup is a marker of our commitment to drive change. Together with our pioneering service, solutions and updated portfolio of conventional machine variants, we show that we stand alongside our customers to support them across every stage of their journey. We show that we are committed to our ambitions, not just because we can, but because it is the right thing to do.”

A30 Electric articulated hauler is taking centre stage, a never-before-seen innovation representing the first battery-powered solution of its size class to be serially produced. This groundbreaking machine is set to become available for rental, alongside the larger A40 Electric, to selected customers in specific European markets starting in 2026. 

Volvo CE complements its machinery lineup with cutting-edge service solutions, including a revamped digital tools suite, the introduction of a new Load Ticket tool for simplified invoicing, and two new services: Site Operations, which allows brand-agnostic fleet monitoring, and Site Optimisation, offering advisory support to unlock new efficiencies.

With this bold initiative, Volvo CE is not only shaping the future of construction technology but also demonstrating how sustainability, performance, and customer-centric solutions can go hand-in-hand.
