As part of its zero-emission lineup, Volvo Construction Equipment has introduced one of the world’s first battery-electric articulated haulers for its size class.

The A30 Electric articulated hauler, with the all-electric platform, is one of the first serial-produced battery-powered solution of its size class.

It will be available to rent, alongside the larger A40 Electric, for customers in select European markets in 2026, ensuring quarrying, mining and construction customers can now match high productivity with sustainability.

Volvo CE also illustrated that conventional combustion engine options are available to customers for all zero-emission models displayed.

To complement the zero-emission lineup, Volvo CE is introducing a number of pioneering new service solutions.

They include an upgrade to Volvo CE’s suite of digital tools, a new Load Ticket tool for streamlined invoicing and two new services: Site Operations, for brand agnostic fleet monitoring, and Site Optimization, an advisory service for customers to unlock efficiency. 

As well as the all-new A30 Electric, the company also displayed at the BAUMA 2025 show its revamped EC230 Electric excavator, which now provides a full day of operation, an improved PU500 power unit for rapid mobile charging, and the newly-launched EWR150 Electric, the company’s first battery-powered wheeled excavator.

Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, said:

“This zero-emission lineup is a marker of our commitment to drive change. Together with our pioneering service, solutions and updated portfolio of conventional machine variants, we show that we stand alongside our customers to support them across every stage of their journey.

“We show that we are committed to our ambitions, not just because we can, but because it is the right thing to do.”
