Since 2020, Volvo Construction Equipment’s electric machines have clocked up more than 100,000 hours of operation in Norway. From the southern city of Kristiansand to Hammerfest in the north, Volvo CE’s battery-electric construction machines have been showcasing their versatility. A Volvo L25 electric wheeled loader is even being used in Svalbard, a remote archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, where winter temperatures drop to -20°c.
“The country has long led in the electromobility revolution,” said David Kristianslund, sales director for Volvo Maskin. “The diverse range of customers and different environments where these machines are used highlight the enormous potential of this technology. Thanks to early adopters, we’ve gained hundreds of thousands of invaluable hours of experience that inform the development of our new-generation electric solutions.”
