Using the theme of its recently launched 'Change Starts Here' campaign, the event showcases the construction and quarrying equipment company's solutions in the areas of sustainability, electromobility and services.
Volvo Days launched on May 31 in Eskilstuna, Sweden, with a line-up including what is claimed to be the industry's widest range of electric machines for a more sustainable construction towards net zero emissions.
A series of product demonstrations and tours — both physical and virtual — are enabling guests to experience the full line-up of Volvo's electric compact machines and charging solutions as well as the company's largest electric excavator the EC230 Electric, currently being piloted in Norway. Also on display is the all-new L200H High Lift wheeled loader promoting greater productivity and fuel efficiency, and the upgraded L350H wheeled loader for superior strength and durability.
Also featured are Volvo CE's expanding range of productivity and uptime services, which it says are increasing in importance as the industry transitions from a machine-only perspective to site optimal service solutions. These include the recently launched C02 Reduction Program, offering tailored plans to cut carbon emissions, the Efficient Load Out solution, designed to make every load count with a 95-99% fill rate, the EMMA electric charging application, Connected Map and other digital solutions set to come to the market.
Volvo's new demo and test track for autonomous solutions, designed in conjunction with Volvo Autonomous Solutions, is also being unveiled to the public for the first time at Volvo Days, with the aim of enabling a test and demonstration site for battery electric and autonomous transport solutions to make construction sites safer, more efficient and more sustainable. Volvo Trucks, also part of Volvo Group, is another addition to the line-up with its own electric truck present at the show.
For those who cannot attend the three-week programme in person, Volvo CE is offering a digital experience via a new virtual platform being made available in the coming days.
Melker Jernberg, head of Volvo CE, commented: "As a world leading manufacturer of construction solutions we have the power to make a difference and it starts with us. We want to drive change in our own industry towards net zero emissions but also support our customers to decarbonise their operations.
"Volvo Days is the perfect opportunity to show how we are achieving these ambitions with ready-today sustainable power solutions."
Adriano Merigli, head of sales region international, added: "We live in a world where sustainability requirements are increasing by the minute. As a solutions-based company, we take this challenge seriously and have provided our best offering yet for a more sustainable way of working, with a mix of products and services capable of driving real change today while securing a better world for tomorrow."
