Electric makes its move…

We were the first construction equipment manufacturer to commit to stopping development of new diesel-powered compact machines. With our six-machine electric lineup, that commitment is coming to life.

The construction industry also needs to reduce emissions in larger machines to make significant strides toward a more sustainable future. Our new mid-size EC230 Electric excavator is taking the industry to that next level.

We’re also partnering with another Volvo Group business, Volvo Energy, to responsibly take care of batteries in each step of their lifecycle. This holistic view benefits both our customers and society as a whole.

Electric machines are only viable when practical charging solutions are available and accessible. We’ve been hard at work making that a reality with options like DC fast charging, off-grid solar options and more.

Located just 20 miles outside the nation’s capital, the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary to wildlife and a place for people to explore nature. A battery-powered, zero-emission ECR25 Electric compact excavator and L25 Electric compact wheel loader made by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) are being used to build a new ADA accessible trail in the refuge.

Animal comfort and environmental sustainability are priorities for the Toronto Zoo. See how zero-emission, lower-noise Volvo electric machines helped them meet these goals.
