Volvo CE delivers Indonesia’s first L120 Electric Wheel Loader

The L120 Electric was delivered to ITU customer, PT Tegas Guna Mandiri

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has marked another milestone in its electrification journey in Indonesia with the delivery of the country’s first L120 Electric wheel loader. On December 1, Volvo CE’s Indonesian dealer, PT Indotruck Utama (ITU), officially handed over the machine to PT Tegas Guna Mandiri, signalling the first deployment and operation of a Volvo CE electric wheel loader in the Indonesian market.

The handover builds on Volvo CE’s continued commitment to driving sustainable construction in Indonesia, following earlier initiatives such as the country’s first L25 Electric trial and the launch of the ECR25 Electric compact excavator and the L25 Electric compact wheel loader in 2023. Together, these milestones reflect Volvo CE’s long-term ambition to support customers in reducing emissions while maintaining high levels of productivity and operational performance.

PT Tegas Guna Mandiri operates across the mining and plantation sectors, with a strong focus on port logistics and stockpile management in the Jambi area. The introduction of the L120 Electric aligns with the companys focus on operational efficiency and its growing emphasis on environmentally responsible practices in demanding industrial applications.

The handover ceremony was attended by key representatives, including Mr. Eddy Gunawan, Owner of PT Tegas Guna Mandiri; Mr. Tjong Bie, CEO of PT Indotruck Utama; Mr. Dwi Prihartono, representing Volvo CE; Mr. Didi Muksin, Major Account Plantation Sales Head of PT Indotruck Utama; and Mrs. Julina, Branch Manager of PT Indotruck Utama’s Jambi Branch.

Erwin Budi, Head of Market Indonesia & Timor Leste, Volvo Construction Equipment, said:

“The delivery of the first L120 Electric in Indonesia is a significant step forward in our electrification roadmap for the market. It demonstrates our commitment to supporting Indonesian customers with solutions that reduce environmental impact while delivering the performance, reliability, and safety they expect from Volvo CE. This milestone also reflects the growing readiness of customers to adopt electric machines as part of their sustainability journey.”

For ITU, the delivery underscores its role in enabling the adoption of advanced, low-emission technologies across Indonesia.

Tjong Bie, CEO, PT Indotruck Utama, added:

“We are proud to support the first operation of an electric wheel loader in Indonesia. This handover is not just about introducing a new machine, but about helping our customers transition towards more sustainable and efficient operations. We see this as the beginning of a broader shift in how the industry approaches productivity and sustainability.”

More than a transfer of equipment, the handover represents a strategic collaboration between Volvo CE, ITU, and PT Tegas Guna Mandiri to accelerate innovation and raise operational standards. As Volvo CE continues to expand its electric machine portfolio in Indonesia, partnerships such as this will play a critical role in advancing low-emission solutions across key sectors, including mining, logistics, and plantations.

The deployment of the L120 Electric reinforces Volvo CE’s belief that sustainable construction is not a future ambition, but a practical reality already taking shape across Indonesia.
