The Swedish Manufacturer Volvo Created a Division of Equipment for the Construction Industry and Claimed That It Has Already Begun Deliveries of Its First Electric Construction Truck to Customers.

It’s not just about trucks in the construction industry, but many other industries are also looking at advances in batteries and electric powertrains and starting to see how this could benefit them, and Volvo is leading the way.

Wouldn’t It Be Good to Reduce Emissions and Noise Pollution and Lower Fuel Costs on Construction Sites? The Electric Truck Can Do That

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has consistently pushed for the electrification of equipment in the construction industry. In 2018, several new prototypes of electric trucks were launched for a fully electric quarry project.

Last year, Volvo announced that it would discontinue the development of compact wheel loaders with diesel engines and compact excavators to sell electric versions. Today, they are announcing that they have begun deliveries of electric construction trucks to real customers.

The Volvo Group Announced in a Press Release:

On December 17, the first delivery of a Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) electric truck and the first fully electric Volvo FE truck took place in France, thus accelerating the long-term transformation to more sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions in the construction industry.

The French contractor Eiffage received a fully electric Volvo FE Electric truck and a Volvo ECR25 Electric compact excavator, which are now being put to work on the Grand Paris Express transport project in the French capital.

Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, Commented on the First Delivery:

Today’s deliveries of this electric truck and construction machine are the beginning of a revolution in transport and infrastructure solutions. Make no mistake, electric machines will not remain a niche market. Over the next years and decades, they will become the dominant source of power with low or zero emissions. When combined with clean energy, their potential to support climate change goals, improve air quality, and help build the world we all want to live in cannot be underestimated. I am very pleased that we are starting this journey with friends like Eiffage.

Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, Commented on the First Delivery:

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Concrete underground house almost invisible in the USA is hidden under a hill, supports 250 pounds per square foot, and survived an F4 tornado while neighbors lost everything in Springfield, with a garden roof and natural light.

The Chinese researcher who descended to 9,533 meters with only 30 minutes remaining in the submersible and found the deepest ecosystem ever recorded on Earth, an abyssal forest of red tubeworms that have never seen the Sun and survive by devouring methane at the ocean floor.

Tokyo built a $2 billion underground cathedral with 500-ton pillars and silos as tall as 20-story buildings to counter the floods that threaten to destroy one of the largest urban economies.
