Volvo Construction Equipment has deployed its fully electric L120 Electric wheel loader on a tunnel construction site in Munich, marking the machine's first European underground application. The emission-free loader is designed specifically for enclosed work environments where exhaust fumes from diesel-powered equipment pose health and ventilation challenges. The L120 Electric operates without direct emissions, reducing the need for costly ventilation infrastructure in tunnel projects. Volvo positions the deployment as a practical test for electrification of heavy construction equipment in demanding underground conditions.
