The Utility Expo

The Utility Expo 2023

September 26 ‒ 28 | Louisville

This year at The Utility Expo, Volvo CE brought in several pieces of electric construction equipment for attendees to operate. Many people hopped in the cabs of our compact models to experience their power, maneuverability and quiet operation in our operator skills challenges.

We also brought our new 23-ton EC230 Electric excavator for attendees to perform precision grading — even Mine Rescue’s Juan Ibarra took the controls for a bit. With additional Volvo utility machines, valuable Volvo Services consultations and more, this Utility Expo was our best yet!
