Volvo Construction Equipment and Hitachi Energy have announced a strategic partnership aimed at developing infrastructure and solutions for zero-emission construction sites. The collaboration will focus on electrification systems including charging infrastructure, energy storage, and grid integration to support battery-electric excavators, wheel loaders, and haulers. Both companies aim to accelerate the transition away from diesel-powered equipment by addressing one of the key barriers to electric machine adoption: on-site power supply and charging logistics. The partnership comes as regulatory pressure and customer demand for low-emission fleets increase across European and North American markets.
