en.Wedoany.com Reported - Volvo Construction Equipment and Hitachi Energy have entered into a partnership to jointly develop "zero-emission construction sites."

The core of this collaboration involves integrating electric construction equipment with on-site power supply systems, one of the main challenges for battery-powered machinery, especially in remote locations. The two companies plan to initially focus on "practical plug-and-play approaches" to help contractors transition to electric sites, and subsequently "explore more advanced features such as machine connectivity, digital integration, and expanded service offerings."

The overall goal is to reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry by combining Volvo's expertise in electric construction equipment with Hitachi's capabilities in power systems, energy management, and system integration. Both companies stated that the success of zero-emission sites depends on developing power supply and energy management systems that can be integrated on-site to charge battery-powered machinery.

"As construction operations become increasingly electrified and complex, success relies less on individual technologies and more on system-level integration, strong execution, and close collaboration with partners like Volvo Construction Equipment—who share our commitment to achieving zero-emission construction at scale," said Niklas Persson, CEO of Hitachi Energy's Grid Integration business.

"Strategic partnerships like the one with Hitachi Energy are key to accelerating the transition to zero-emission construction," said Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo Construction Equipment. "By combining complementary expertise and delivering complete integrated solutions, we give our customers the confidence, security, and peace of mind needed to adopt zero-emission operations today." The two companies stated they will work together to bring solutions to market and provide after-sales products and customer support.
