The market leader and inventor of the articulated hauler, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) unveiled its biggest and boldest articulated hauler launch to date. The update represents a complete overhaul of its existing best-in-class articulated hauler lineup, now ranging in size from A25-A60.
The updated models mark a significant technological leap forward thanks to key innovations such as a new electronic system and an in-house developed transmission, delivering fuel efficiency improvements of up to 15% depending on model and industrial application. Furthermore, the machines’ new state-of-the-art design has been constructed in such a way as to adapt over time to fit future drivetrains.
A highlight of the launch is the all-new A50 model, which expands customer opportunities in the demanding hauler segment. This addition, available in select markets, underscores Volvo CE’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers by enhancing operational capabilities and offering more choices.
“For nearly 60 years we have been leading the way with our range of articulated haulers and now with today´s launch of a new range of outstanding products, including one completely new model, we prove that there are no limits to our capacity for innovation,” Melker Jernberg, president of Volvo CE, said.
“Our customers know to expect a first-class operation when they get into one of our haulers, but that experience has just got even better with a host of cutting-edge features designed with our customers in mind.”
Furthermore, the new models have been built with a focus on sustainability. This includes the introduction of low carbon emission steel – made from recycled materials and produced using fossil-free electricity and biogas.
