Did you know that running your Volvo Electric machine is actually cheaper than operating a diesel alternative?
With the rising price of fuel, you can make cost savings on running a Volvo Electric machine, as it requires a simple power up from the electricity grid rather than using costly diesel. And as soon as the operator stops working, the electric motors turn off, so no unnecessary operating hours are added. So just imagine how much is possible to save over the time it takes to complete a whole project.
Our silent, zero-emission Volvo Electric Construction Equipment are not just good for the environment. They are good for business too. That is because you can now work in places where diesel cannot: in low carbon zones, sensitive environments, indoors or in urban environments during the night. They not only reduce CO2 emissions, but require less maintenance and lower operating costs than the traditional alternatives.

Electromobility means vehicles - including cars, buses, trains, trucks and of course, construction equipment - that are fully or partly driven electrically and have a means of storing energy on board.
Electric machines use an electric motor to propel or perform the main purpose of the machine, whereas a hybrid machine uses more than one power source - usually electric and diesel - and captures and reuses energy that would otherwise be wasted.
Electric vehicles do usually have a reduced environmental impact compared with diesel and gas-powered vehicles. Electric drivelines are generally more energy efficient and emit no exhaust emissions locally where the products are used.
Stricter carbon emission regulations - as well as our customers' own CO2 reduction targets - are certainly pushing this technology forward, but we believe that also desire for greater efficiency and reduced noise are key drivers.
Volvo CE has been researching and developing electric and hybrid technology since as far back as 1998.
So far the amounts of used surplus batteries are fairly low, but as Volvo ramp up their production of electrified machines the need for recycling and reuse streams will increase. To be prepared for this Volvo CE is working together with waste contractors and other actors to maximize the recycling rate of electric batteries. Volvo are also looking into second use possibilities of old batteries to find potentials to prolong the battery lifetime in other applications, e.g. energy storage in facilities.
Yes, Volvo will take care of the recycling of EV batteries. Assuring sustainable management of EV batteries throughout the lifecycle of the product will be an important component in achieving a circular and sustainable transport sector for the future. The producer responsibility regulations that many countries have mandates the battery manufacturers to collect the batteries. Due to considerable values (metal content, etc) of used batteries, there is also a financial driver providing opportunities for partnerships and 3:rd party involvement within the industry. Volvo Group has recently formed the company Volvo Energy who will develop electrification solutions to the group. Battery recycling, recovery and reuse solutions will be developed and managed by Volvo Energy going forward.
To assure that the materials used in the electric batteries in Volvo machines, Volvo CE is assessing all parts to assure that any occurrence of Tantalum, Tungsten, Tellur, Gold and Cobalt come from non-conflict sources. Lithium ion batteries contain certain scarce materials such as e.g. heavy metals and Rare Earth Metals. Some of the scarce materials that can be found in Li-ion batteries and other electromobility components are known to sometimes be derived from sources known to directly or indirectly benefit armed groups in the area of origin. Often these materials are referred to as Conflict Minerals.
Volvo CE's electric equipment offer consists of 5 compact models, Volvo ECR25 Electric, Volvo ECR18 Electric, Volvo EC18 Electric, Volvo L25 Electric, Volvo L20 Electric. Volvo have committed to having 35% of their machine sales be electric by 2030.

With those, the machines can be plugged into a normal household grid to charge the battery. For the optional fast charger of the electric wheel loader battery or the electric excavator battery, a 3 phase supply is needed.
This is one of the major advantages of the electric construction equipment. Electrical components, batteries and motors, are maintenance free.
The batteries used in our electric construction equipment are designed to last the full life expectancy of the machine.
The batteries in our electric construction equipment are designed to maintain a capacity of over 80% beyond the first life of the construction machine.
Yes, the batteries for the new electric excavator and wheel loader range, can be charged at any point in time. The lifetime of lithium ion batteries profits when they are not always fully discharged and recharged.
For example ECR25 Electric and L25 Electric are based on conventional construction equipment design. Only the electric components are new in the vehicles. With its new technology the ECR25 Electric and L25 Electric can deliver similar performance to their diesel versions.
Volvo electric excavators and electric wheel loaders are designed to be used in the same applications as the equivalent diesel machines, like for example demolition, landscaping and utility work.
Furthermore, the electric excavators and electric loaders are even better suited for environments and applications where noise, exhaust emissions or vibrations are a problem today, such as indoor demolition, farming or food processing applications.
In most sites, the lack of engine noise from the electric construction machines is an advantage from a safety perspective as it enables better communication between coworkers on site. Furthermore, a white noise function is offered as an option for Volvo's electric construction equipment, that allows people around the machine to hear without the health issues related to noise.
