The market leader and inventor of the articulated hauler, Volvo CE today unveiled its biggest and boldest articulated hauler launch to date.
Volvo CE’s update represents a complete overhaul of its existing, globally recognized, best-in-class articulated hauler lineup, now ranging in size from A25-A60. An entirely new model, the A50, has been introduced, increasing customer opportunities in the demanding hauler segment. The range delivers key innovations, such as a new electronic system, upgraded cab for superior operator comfort and safety, and an in-house developed transmission designed to adapt to future drivetrains. With over 35% of its total range renewed over the last 12 months, this marks the latest step in Volvo CE´s largest product portfolio renewal in decades.
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 this launch is the all-new A50 model, which expands customer opportunities in the demanding hauler segment. This addition, available in selected markets, underscores Volvo CE’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers by enhancing operational capabilities and offering more choices.
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.
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 at the Braås site. Given steel is a major component in Volvo CE products – and traditionally generates significant carbon emissions – material circularity is another example of Volvo CE taking action across its operations to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
This launch is part of Volvo CE's most extensive product portfolio overhaul in decades, with over 35% of its range renewed in the past 12 months. It marks a pivotal step in the company's ongoing commitment to innovation and leadership in the construction equipment industry.
Like in 1966, the new generation haulers once again set the industry benchmark for innovation and best-in-class operation. Source
