Volvo is a global leader in the battery-electric truck segment with a market share of 51% in Europe, 40% in North America and deliveries of more than 4,900 electric trucks around the world, many to customers in the construction industry. Volvo started series production of electric trucks already in 2019 and the company’s product portfolio enables decarbonization of the entire flow within construction transport; transport trucks, cement mixers, concrete pumps, tippers, cranes and hook lifts to give some examples. At Bauma, Volvo will display trucks both on its own stand and also on customers’ stands.
“I am very proud that we have the widest range of electric trucks for the construction industry. A contractor can buy almost any truck as electric from Volvo today and be sure that it will offer excellent productivity and performance,” says Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks.,“Electric transport is very suitable for the construction segment, offering zero exhaust emissions and much less noise. It’s good for people living near a construction site, it’s good for the people working at the site and of course also for the climate.”
One-stop shop for zero-emission trucks and machines
At Bauma, Volvo will also demonstrate its unique capability to enable a completely fossil-free operation of construction sites, thanks to the offer of both zero emission trucks and zero emission construction machines. ,“We have a unique position in that we are a partner who can offer both premium trucks and premium machines for the construction industry. We believe this one-stop shop possibility is attractive for many companies,” says Roger Alm.
