There are many facets of an electric construction machine that make them an attractive option for the wider industry. Machines can operate with zero local emissions and can go a long way to assisting a company’s decarbonization goals and creating a safer environment for workers. They run with very little noise, which reduces noise complaints and eases communication. In spite of these benefits, IDTechEx’s “Electric Vehicles in Construction 2024-2044: Technologies, Players, Forecasts” report finds that financial savings in the total cost of ownership (TCO) of machines will be the primary benefit that drives the electrification of the industry.

With electric construction vehicles proving their worth in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness, the industry stands on the brink of a major transformation. With the construction industry traditionally resistant to change, the move towards electric equipment suggests a growing awareness of the benefits of electrification, including efficiency and environmental responsibility. #constructionindustry #heavyequipment #zeroemission

Exciting milestone for electrified construction from The Sweden-US Green Transition Initiative and partners today! The Sweden-US Green Transition Initiative, together with Atlas Copco, Husqvarna Construction, Volvo Construction Equipment, and local partners Kempower and EV Revolution, have completed one of the first all-electric construction projects in the United States. The installation of an EV charging station at Kempower Inc.'s new Durham, NC headquarters was powered entirely by electric equipment. This achievement highlights the potential for zero-emission job sites to reduce CO₂, noise, and emissions. This pilot project, evaluated in collaboration with Sweco, saved 258 kg of CO₂ in just four weeks and sets the stage for scaling up across the construction sector. As 33 million EVs are projected on U.S. roads by 2030, this is just the beginning! "The success of this project showcases how leading companies across the value chain can support decarbonization," said Linda Andrén, Executive Director, Sweden-US Green Transition Initiative. "It underscores the importance of collaboration and the significant impact that scaling these efforts can have on reducing emissions."

The debut of the world's first cabin-less electric skid steer marks a major milestone in the construction and landscaping industries. With remote power capabilities, it not only provides a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option, but also increases safety for operators by eliminating the need for them to be inside the machine during operation. This technology from FIRSTGREEN INDUSTRIES is a testament to the ongoing commitment towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting a healthier work environment. 🌱🏗️ I am excited to see how this new development will shape the future of heavy equipment operations. The potential for increased efficiency, reduced operating costs, and improved safety standards make this electric skid steer a game-changer for the industry. I look forward to seeing how this innovation will be adopted and integrated into construction and landscaping projects across the globe. 🌍🚜 #ConstructionTechnology #SustainableConstruction #EV

CASE CE has expanded its electric equipment lineup with the launch of the 12EV, a 3.8 ton compact wheel loader. Powered by a 23 kWh lithium-ion battery, this loader can operate for up to six hours on a single charge. The 12EV joins CASE's existing electric mini excavators, demonstrating the company's commitment to zero-emission solutions. These new electric vehicles offer customers eco-friendly alternatives without compromising on power and performance. CASE recently showcased its electric excavators at a UK event, giving operators a chance to experience the machines firsthand and learn about sustainable charging and waste management practices. As government regulations push for a zero-emission future, CASE CE is positioning itself as a leader in the development of electric construction equipment. The introduction of the 12EV wheel loader marks another step forward in the company's efforts to provide customers with a range of carbon-reducing options.

Solutions for temporary power and charging play a key role in the transformation of the construction industry. But we also see similar use cases for trucks and other industrial equipment. More to come from the Volvo Group and Volvo Energy.
