Volvo launches new articulated haulers

Volvo has launched a new lineup of articulated haulers which is set for stepwise introductions on markets globally during 2025. The updated models mark a significant technological leap forward thanks to key innovations such as a new electronic system and an in-house developed transmission, delivering fuel efficiency improvements of up to 15% depending on model and industrial application.

A highlight of this launch is the all-new A50 model, which expands customer opportunities in the demanding hauler segment. This addition, available in selected markets, underscores the company’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers by enhancing operational capabilities and offering more choices. The result is cutting-edge, safe, and productive machines that have been purpose-built to lower total cost of ownership and respond to the challenges of today and tomorrow across the toughest of worksites, especially when combined with Volvo’s pioneering digital solutions, such as the Haul Assist with onboard weighing. “For nearly 60 years we have been leading the way with our range of articulated haulers and now with today´s launch of a new range of outstanding products, including one completely new model, we prove that there are no limits to our capacity for innovation,” Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE said. “Our customers know to expect a first-class operation when they get into one of our haulers, but that experience has just got even better with a host of cutting-edge features designed with our customers in mind.” Developed to be among the most fuel-efficient hauling solutions on the market, the new models have also been built with a focus on sustainability. This includes the introduction of low carbon emission steel made from recycled materials and produced using fossil free electricity and biogas in serial production of haulers manufactured at the Braås site. Given steel is a major component in Volvo CE products and traditionally generates significant carbon emissions material circularity is another example of Volvo CE taking action across its operations to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. This launch is part of Volvo’s most extensive product portfolio overhaul in decades, with over 35% of its range renewed in the past 12 months. It marks a pivotal step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and leadership in the construction equipment industry.
