Volvo CE and Skanska are turning the quarrying industry upside down in a groundbreaking study to create the world’s first ‘emission-free’ quarry. Drawing on the electromobility and automation expertise of the Volvo Group, the research project, dubbed Electric Site, aims to electrify each transport stage in a quarry – from excavation to primary crushing, and transport to secondary crushing – although a negligible amount of diesel power will still be used. The system’s efficiency, safety and environmental benefits are set to impact both customers and society at large.

Following 2017’ Summits, the Volvo Group hosted a new Innovation Summit in Berlin on September 12 focusing on developing technologies connected to electromobility, automation and connectivity that will help to make the construction industry more sustainable.
In September 2016, we invited hundreds of customers, members of the international press, government representatives and academics to attend our Xploration Forum in Eskilstuna, Sweden. At the event we unveiled a range of futuristic concepts and innovations from electromobility to intelligent machines and total site solutions.
Everything was presented under the umbrella of ‘Volvo Concept Lab’ – a technology communication platform for Volvo-branded companies within the Volvo Group to showcase their research and development projects.
