Volvo CE zero-emission construction machines are available for the first time to deliver high-performance electric power with minimal environmental impact
In an era of increasing environmental awareness and the urgent need for decarbonisation, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has pioneered by introducing its first zero-emission machines to the Australian market.
This commercial expansion of Volvo CE’s leading range of electric machines aligns with the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices. It reinforces CJD Equipment’s commitment to transforming the industry towards a greener future. CJD Equipment has proudly distributed Volvo CE’s products in Australia for over 30 years.
Volvo CE’s introduction of zero-emission construction machines aims to deliver high-performing electric power while minimising environmental impact. These electric machines and accompanying charging solutions allow farmers to achieve zero-emission job sites without compromising productivity.
As part of its commitment to a sustainable future, CJD Equipment is bringing a range of compact electric machines to Australia, including the ECR18 and ECR25 Electric compact excavator and the L25 Electric wheel loaders, with more models to follow in 2024. The first three machines will be commercially available early in the first quarter of 2024.
Volvo CE’s zero-emission machines introduced into Australia perform the same as their diesel counterparts but have additional advantages such as zero emissions, near silence, reduced vibrations, and a more comfortable work environment. These electric machines enhance the overall work experience, open new business opportunities, and help farmers reduce their emissions.
