Volvo Introduced Its First Electric Excavator. The Product Is Already Undergoing Testing and Promises to Reduce Costs and Help the Environment

Volvo has heavily invested in the electric excavator EC55, designed for the construction market in China. Its presentation took place last year during the China International Import Expo 2020. The Swedish company delivered its first prototype to a Chinese aluminum company.

The company is using the electric excavator from Volvo for earthmoving and soil care in construction. There will be a total of 500 hours of testing for more accurate feedback. This information will serve the Swedish company.

”As a company that cares about the environment, we strive to achieve zero emissions. We are also pleased with the low noise of the machine, which is what we needed”, declared Yang from the aluminum company.

Since Volvo was initially designed for the Chinese market, the machine will have two 350 V batteries that can be easily charged in Chinese homes. The machine can operate continuously for 4.5 hours and 9 hours when charged during lunch.

‘‘By combining electric propulsion technology with connectivity, we offer an attractive overall package of low noise, zero emissions, high efficiency, high uptime, reduced operating costs, and reduced total cost of ownership. We have full confidence in the success of this customer pilot”, said Skoldberg, director of Volvo.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
