Volvo Trucks continues to create progress in the electrification of the construction industry. Together with Putzmeister and Swerock, Volvo Trucks has developed an all-new battery-electric truck-mounted concrete pump creating a fully electric alternative for pumping concrete.
Using the traditional solution for pumping concrete, a diesel truck needs to be in operation during pumping, causing exhaust emissions and noise. With the all-electric pump truck, it's possible to drive up to 50 kilometers and then pump approximately 50 m3 of concrete without any need for charging. For longer distances, or for larger quantities of concrete, a Combined Charging System (CCS2) charging solution with 63 or 32 A can be installed at the site, and it's possible to keep pumping the concrete while the truck is being recharged.
With the new battery-electric pump truck, Volvo Trucks has created an electric alternative for the handling of concrete — transporting, mixing, and pumping.
"Volvo Trucks is the innovator when it comes to new technologies in combination with electric trucks. After presenting electric concrete mixers and heavy applications for construction, we are proud to show yet another world-class innovation for the construction segment here at Bauma. We believe in cooperation to move forward, and one example of this can be seen here in Germany together with Putzmeister," says Christoph Fitz, head of sales at Volvo Trucks in Germany.
"With this battery-electric pump truck, customers can have a zero-exhaust emission solution, low-noise operation, and an efficient process thanks to the work-while-charging capacity."
