Open more opportunities

With the L90 Electric wheel loader it is now easier to access jobsites with low carbon and low noise requirements, making it ideal for indoor work and other restricted job sites. Operate indoors without needing costly fume extraction systems or spark arrestors, and work outside of standard hours where noise restrictions apply.

A sustainable choice

The Volvo L90 Electric is the perfect option to move closer towards your sustainability goals by eliminating tailpipe emissions and drastically reducing energy consumption. It reduces environmental impact with the potential for significant energy reductions compared to diesel models, and the quieter operation minimizes noise pollution too. What’s more, with fewer parts and lower maintenance needs, the extended lifecycle of the machine reduces waste and resources used, further reducing the environmental impact of your operation.

Lower maintenance costs

Boost your bottom line with a 30% reduction in maintenance time and costs thanks to the fully electric driveline. Features such as no engine-related consumables, maintenance-free electric motors and a 4,000-hour axle oil change interval all contribute to less maintenance time and costs. Ensure swift maintenance and servicing with ground-level service access, swing out radiators and the electronic engine cover which opens at the push of a button.

Ready to Run

Ensure your machine is prepared for immediate operation in all climates with the Ready to Run option. The system automatically pre-heats or cools the batteries to an optimal operating temperature ahead of machine operation. The cab temperature can also be set in Volvo Co-Pilot by the operator ahead of machine operation according to operator preferences. What’s more, when plugged in during overnight charging the Ready to Run option utilizes the charger as the primary power source to wake the machine, helping to maintain battery power. Ready to Run helps to ensure maximum uptime and maintain battery energy for reliable, uninterrupted performance.

Discover how a range of features delivers the same – if not better – power and performance as the L90 Electric’s diesel counterparts.

Automatic Kick-down

Smarter shifting for smoother operation, the automatic adaptive downshift adapts according to the speed into the pile, enabling faster and more sensitive downshifting to first gear when required. The result is smoother operation, improved responsiveness and optimized performance during material extraction from the pile.

With an impressive runtime on a single charge and a host of charging options, choosing Electric has never made more sense.
