    Singapore 


SOUTHEAST ASIA'S FIRST VOLVO CE ELECTRIC CONSTRUCTION MACHINES ARRIVE IN
SINGAPORE 

The first fully electric construction machines from Volvo Construction Equipment
(Volvo CE) for Southeast Asian customers have arrived in Singapore and were
formally launched for the region's market at a gala event on 7 June 2023 on the
island of Sentosa. Over 100 guests gathered to celebrate the landmark moment and
see the exciting new technology up close.

At the launch event for Singapore's first electric construction machines were
senior leaders from the country's most important building and construction
companies, Volvo CE dealers from Southeast Asia, and Volvo CE leadership from
Asia. 

Tomas Kuta, president of Volvo CE's Asia region, kicked off the launch by
sharing insight into the sustainability goals of Volvo CE. 

"Our company wants to reach net-zero emissions by 2040, and as part of that and
our commitment to Science Based Targets, we want to reduce emissions from our
product line by 30% by 2030, as well as reducing emissions from our operations
by 50% in the same timeframe. For the Singapore construction equipment market –
Change Starts Here. Singapore is a natural market for electric construction
machines with a strong focus on sustainability, efficiency, and safety in its
construction industry. We are launching our first electric machines in Southeast
Asia, and we believe it will act as a launchpad for further sales in Singapore
and the wider regional market." 

Volvo CE aims to have 35% of the machines it sells powered by electromobility by
2030. It already has the widest range of electrically powered construction
machinery available today. To begin in Singapore, the company has launched three
models: the ECR25 Electric compact excavator, the L25 Electric compact wheel
loader, and the EC55 Electric excavator.

Jenny Egermark, chargé d’ affaires a.i., at The Embassy of Sweden in Singapore,
was among the VIPs at the event and paid tribute to Volvo CE's ongoing drive for
change: "I am delighted to see Volvo's innovative Swedish construction machines
launching in Singapore. They are excellent additions to Singapore's robust
construction industry. Both Sweden and Singapore have ambitious goals toward
sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. The launch of Volvo's first
electric construction machines brings us one step closer to achieving these
common goals."

Electric construction machines have the power to change the way construction
sites and material handling industries are run. They offer the same productivity
benefits as diesel equivalents but with less noise, fewer vibrations, and no
exhaust fumes. They can help industries meet sustainability requirements or
regulations. It also allows companies to use the machines in new locations,
indoors or in other sensitive environments. 

Singapore has set ambitious targets to enable sustainability across the building
and construction value chain through its Singapore Green Building Masterplan
(SGBMP). This includes introducing mandatory sustainable construction practices.
Using electric machines on construction projects will go some way toward helping
contractors meet their sustainability objectives.

AM Muralidharan, head of productivity & retail development Asia, said: "Using
Volvo CE electric machines offers all kinds of advantages to owners. Of course,
it will boost the sustainability of their operations, but it's also about
creating a nicer environment for the operator and others on site. The lack of
engine noise and fumes removes a lot of the distraction that can come from
working around equipment and allows much better focus on the job at hand. It's
also kinder to the local community."

The ECR25 Electric compact excavator is a 2.6-2.8 t capacity machine with a 22.3
kN breakout force. It has an onboard charger for general charging, a quick
external charger (optional for indoor/outdoor specifications), and a 20-kWh
battery array, allowing for 3 - 4 hours of work per charge. 

The machine is equipped with an excavation bucket (0.074 m3) with a quick
coupler, a standard arm, spare piping, and a ROPS standard canopy. Very little
noise results in a very low environmental impact on the operator, surrounding
workers, and neighbours. Operator comfort is further improved because there are
no fumes from the electric operating system. And unlike a diesel excavator, the
ECR25 Electric consumes almost no energy while idling thanks to an inbuilt
stop/start system, so it only consumes energy during the minutes it works. It
has a slightly higher operating weight than its diesel equivalent but also
delivers more continuous motor power. 

The L25 Electric compact wheeled loader features a 2.1 t payload, a maximum
speed of 20kph, outstanding lifting height and 100% parallel movements. The
machine has a 40kWh battery pack and is expected to deliver 6 - 8 hours of work
per charge. Again, operator comfort is enhanced by near-silent operation, and
there's an automatic park brake with hill-hold functionality and a range of
customizable work modes. Like its electric sibling, the ECR25 Electric, the L25
Electric has a slightly higher operating weight than its diesel equivalent and a
higher static tipping load. 

The EC55 Electric excavator is a 5.5 t electric machine built at the Volvo CE
facility in China, currently the world's largest market for e-mobility
equipment. The EC55 Electric is based on its diesel-powered counterpart, the
EC55D, but delivers even better performance and controllability, as well as
quiet operations and zero emissions. Power comes from two lithium battery packs
of 400 V that work continuously for 4 – 6 hours per charge.
