Volvo CE, the pioneer behind the world’s first articulated hauler “Gravel Charlie” in 1966, has launched a new lineup of articulated haulers.
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.
Ranging in size from the A25 to the A60, the lineup, which also includes the brand-new A50 model, features a new electronic system and upgraded cab.
“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,” says Melker Jernberg, president of Volvo CE. “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.”
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. Moreover, an in-house developed transmission, designed to adapt to future drivetrains, delivers fuel efficiency improvements of up to 15% depending on the model and industrial application.
