Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe and Volvo Group investigate electric vehicle use in loading and haulage

Europe: Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe has signed a collaboration agreement with Volvo Group for an investigation into the use of electric vehicles in loading and hauling. Under the agreement, Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe will implement a mix of its electric trucks and construction equipment machines in its operations. Land-based transport accounts for 6% of the producer's CO2 emissions. Through electrification, Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe expects to eliminate 200,000t/yr of CO2 emissions.

Heidelberg Materials CEO Dominik von Achten said “The partnership with Volvo is a lighthouse project in our industry and has the potential to significantly push the decarbonisation of our entire value chain in northern Europe. We look forward to working together to identify and implement state-of-the-art solutions for a fast climate transition in the construction sector."
