Volvo CE reveals world-first electric hauler among its zero-emission-only lineup at Bauma 2025

As part of the zero-emission lineup, the company broke new ground with the pioneering introduction of the world’s first battery-electric articulated haulers of their size class. Volvo CE also illustrated that conventional combustion engine options are available to customers for all zero-emission models displayed – meeting customers wherever they are on their transformation journey. In addition to the product lineup, the company unveiled a range of pioneering service solutions boosting customers’ productivity, efficiency and sustainability.

Representing a milestone moment in sustainable innovation, Volvo CE’s Bauma platform is raising the bar with its first-ever zero-emission-only lineup at the Munich show, 7-13 April. 

Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, said: “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.”

Launching the world’s first battery-electric articulated haulers of their size class

The star of the all-electric platform is the game-changing reveal of a never-before-seen 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 their transformation journey

Volvo CE will also show that conventional combustion engine options are available to customers for all zero-emission models on display, designed to deliver industry-leading fuel efficiency, with improvements of up to 15%, 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 will also include innovative solutions from Volvo Trucks, Volvo Penta and Volvo Financial Services.
