An all-electric lineup from Volvo Construction Equipment is pushing the boundaries of innovation at bauma 2025 in Munich, Germany.
Representing sustainable innovation, Volvo CE's bauma platform is showing its first-ever zero-emission-only lineup at the Munich show, April 7-13, 2025.
"This zero-emission lineup is a marker of our commitment to drive change," said Melker Jernberg, president of Volvo CE. "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."
Launching Battery-Electric Articulated Haulers
The star of the all-electric platform is the reveal of a A30 electric articulated hauler, representing the first in a key industrial segment for Volvo CE and the "world's first" serial-produced battery-powered solution of its size class. It will be available to rent, alongside the larger A40 Electric, for select customers in select European markets in 2026, ensuring quarrying, mining and construction customers can now match high productivity with a more sustainable operation.
Meeting Customers at Every Stage of Transformation Journey
Volvo CE also will show that conventional combustion engine options are available to customers for all zero-emission models on display, designed to deliver fuel efficiency, with improvements of up to 15 percent and exceptional productivity. This multi-technology approach ensures that Volvo CE provides versatile solutions for a wide array of customer requirements, wherever they are in their transformation journey.
Demonstrating strong partnership — and as part of a total solution platform — the bauma showcase also will include innovative solutions from Volvo Trucks, Volvo Penta and Volvo Financial Services.
Transforming Operations With Pioneering Service Solutions
To complement the zero-emission lineup, Volvo CE is introducing a number of pioneering new service solutions. They include an upgrade to Volvo CE's suite of digital tools, a new load ticket tool for streamlined invoicing and two new services: site operations, for brand agnostic fleet monitoring and site optimization, an advisory service for customers to unlock new levels of efficiency.
These new services can be experienced at Volvo CE's interactive Solutions Bar at Bauma, a platform for customers to meet experts across a range of areas and discover a tailored package of Volvo solutions, unique to their requirements.
Site Operations is supporting customers with brand agnostic fleet monitoring
As well as the all-new A30 Electric, highlights on display include:
• The revamped EC230 Electric excavator, which now provides a full day of operation;
• The updated compact electric range, ensuring customers are more empowered to drive down emissions while elevating business opportunities;
• The improved PU500 power unit to enable rapid mobile charging of both Volvo and non-Volvo electric machines, trucks and tools; and
• The newly launched EWR150 electric, the company's first battery-powered wheeled excavator and the EW240 electric material handler grid-connected excavator.
The EWR150 electric is part of the all-electric lineup.
