Volvo Trucks and Putzmeister unveiled their largest battery-electric concrete pump trucks at the Bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany. The zero-emission battery-electric concrete pump have a reach of 42m and the first units will be delivered to Swedish construction company Swerock.
The company, in collaboration with Putzmeister, following a request from a long-standing partner, Swerock, developed an entirely new battery-electric truck-mounted concrete pump. Volvo Trucks can now show a fully electric alternative for pumping concrete to construction clients. Traditionally, pumping concrete requires the operation of a diesel truck, which results in exhaust emissions and noise pollution, said a statement.
The all-electric pump truck can travel up to 50km and pump approximately 50cu/m of concrete without the necessity of charging. For extended distances or larger quantities of concrete, a Combined Charging System (CCS2) solution with a charging capacity of 63 or 32 amperes can be installed at the site, the truck can continue pumping concrete while undergoing recharging.
“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. 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,” said Christoph Fitz, Head of Sales at Volvo Trucks in Germany.
With the introduction of its new battery-electric pump truck, Volvo Trucks presents construction customers with a fully electric solution for the transportation, mixing, and pumping of concrete. Volvo commenced series production of electric trucks in 2019, and its product portfolio encompasses the decarbonisation of the entire construction transport lifecycle, encompassing transport trucks, cement mixers, concrete pumps, tippers, cranes, and hook lifts, the statement concluded.
