Volvo CE launches “biggest” and “most ambitious” product line-up at Volvo Days 2024

In a bold move, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has unveiled not a couple but over 10 new products at the company’s new corporate headquarters in Eskilstuna, Sweden, at its Volvo Days event in late May.

At the flagship event, Volvo CE showcased its latest launches and innovations across both electric and conventional solutions, as well as digital tools to customers.

 “The construction industry is changing and we at Volvo CE do not want to just take part in the change, we want to lead it. Volvo Days 2024 is a landmark event where we unveil our most ambitious and biggest product line-up of both conventional and electric products we have ever done,” said Head of Volvo CE, Melker Jernberg.

One of the most significant changes in this year’s Volvo Days is a shift away from silo-ed products and services towards total solutions, Volvo CE said.  

Another new focus is on construction segments, allowing customers to see how Volvo solutions can be holistically packaged to deliver the highest possible performance across their specific applications, from Building and Utilities to Quarries and Aggregates.

In line with Volvo CE’s multi-pronged technology approach to meet varied customer needs, the company is unveiling a new generation of innovative excavators, the Volvo EC500, EC400 and EC230. The range, which also includes the EC210 and ECR145, has been equipped with intelligent technology in a new electro-hydraulic system and improved human machine interface (HMI), and designed for increased fuel efficiency, productivity, safety, and total cost of ownership.

Also among the displays at Volvo Days is an exclusive sneak peek at the all-new A40 hauler coming later in the year, as well as the new R60 and R70 rigid haulers, signaling an expansion of hauling options for customers.

Just like other conventional Volvo CE machines, the new additions to the portfolio can be powered by renewable HVO100 (hydrogenated vegetable oil), which significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional diesel.

“These new ranges, alongside our electric solutions, prove that Volvo CE is well-equipped to respond to the different needs of our customers in both regulated and less regulated markets, leveraging our strength to implement meaningful innovation across all our offerings as we move closer towards our ambition for net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040,” said Head of Sales Region International, Joakim Arndorw.

Volvo CE is continuing on its sustainability journey with several electric introductions in the mid-size segment.

These include the EWR150 Electric, the first of Volvo’s electric wheeled excavators, and the L90 Electric and L120 Electric wheel loaders, scheduled for stepwise introductions from late 2024 in limited volumes across selected markets.

They are supported by Volvo CE’s broadest range of charging solutions yet with the launch of the PU40 mobile power unit, for compact equipment, available across select markets. A new My Equipment digital app helps customers manage the charging process more efficiently.

“Volvo Days demonstrates how far we have come on our electromobility journey, from our first commercial launch in 2019 through to the broad line-up of electric machines and charging solutions we present today, amplified by our range of smart digital tools,” said Volvo CE Head of Sales Region Europe, Carl Slotte.

“The steps we are taking into the electrification of medium and heavy segment machines paves the way for more customers to decarbonize their operations and seize new business opportunities as societies worldwide transition to a low-carbon future.”
