Electric Site wins Volvo Technology Award
Ground-breaking project saw autonomous, hybrid and all-electric concept machines electrify a quarry in Sweden.Volvo CE’s Electric Site solution involved the development of an all-new concept of an autonomous, battery electric, load carrier. The prototype machine, HX02, was just one element of an electric site research project that delivered up to a 98% reduction in carbon emissions, a 70% reduction in energy cost and a 40% reduction in operator cost – demonstrating the Electric Site solution’s environmental, efficiency, safety and cost benefits. The project, which ran for more than 10
