Volvo CE showcases sustainability and innovation in Taiwan: ECR25 Electric Excavator shines at dual events

The Volvo King Club (VKC) Family Day, hosted by Taikoo Motors in the picturesque town of Fuli, celebrated customer loyalty and supported local recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hualien’s recent earthquake. The event was a heartfelt gesture of solidarity with the community, blending gratitude with a focus on sustainability.

Attendees were treated to a firsthand look at the ECR25 Electric Excavator, Volvo CE’s state-of-the-art compact, zero-emissions machine. Powered by a lithium-ion battery and designed for efficiency and reduced environmental impact, the ECR25 Electric represents a significant leap in sustainable construction.

This innovative excavator features an operating weight of approximately 2.5 tons, a runtime of up to four hours on a single charge, and near-silent operation, making it ideal for urban construction, landscaping, and sensitive environments. By integrating cutting-edge electric machinery with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, Volvo CE reinforced its commitment to building a better, more sustainable future.

A groundbreaking debut in Yunlin

In addition, Volvo CE and its Taiwan dealer, Taikoo Motors, unveiled the ECR25 Electric Excavator at the Taiwan Yunlin International Agricultural Machinery Expo. This marked the machine’s official debut in Taiwan and highlighted its potential to revolutionise its construction and agricultural sectors.

The expo showcased the ECR25’s eco-friendly features, including zero emissions, silent operation, and minimal energy consumption in standby mode. Visitors experienced live demonstrations, which emphasised the machine’s smooth, quiet performance and its innovative DC fast charging system, designed to reduce downtime.
