Volvo CE unveil brand new articulated hauler line-up
Articulated hauler range makeover marks the next wave in Volvo CE’s largest ever product roll-out
VOLVO Construction Equipment have today unveiled their biggest and boldest articulated hauler launch to date, designed to meet the modern-day need for connected solutions, productivity performance, and emission reduction, with the human at the centre. The seven new-generation models are revamped updates to the already proven A25, A30, A35, A40, A45 and A60 haulers – and include the introduction of an entirely new machine, the 45-tonne A50.
The updated models are said to 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.
The result is cutting-edge, safe, and productive machines that have been purpose-built to lower total cost of ownership and respond to the challenges of today and tomorrow across the toughest of worksites, especially when combined with Volvo CE’s pioneering digital solutions, such as Haul Assist with onboard weighing.
A highlight of the launch is the brand-new A50 model. Available in selected markets, Volvo CE say the A50 underscores their commitment to meeting the evolving needs of their customers by enhancing operational capabilities and offering more choices.
Melker Jernberg, president of Volvo CE, said: ‘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.
‘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.’
Developed to be among the most fuel-efficient hauling solutions on the market, the new models have also 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 – in serial production of haulers manufactured in Braås, Sweden.
Volvo CE say the launch is part of their most extensive product portfolio overhaul in decades, and that with more than 35% of their range renewed in the past 12 months, marks a pivotal step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and leadership in the construction equipment industry.
