"EX2 is a revolutionary machine. Its zero emissions and noise levels are reduced by 10 times times, even at night construction will not be noise nuisance, can be easily used in densely populated areas. 10 times times the machine efficiency and maintenance-free system means that operating costs and total cost of ownership will be greatly reduced.
Compared with the traditional model, the concept function provides the same power and power output, and the construction efficiency is higher. Volvo Group is willing to be the world's most ideal and most successful transportation solutions provider, Volvo Construction Equipment Company is committed to contribute to sustainable development, "said Thomas Bitter, senior vice president of marketing and product mix." "Volvo Construction Equipment is developing technologies related to electric cars, smart machines and overall field solutions that will help improve machine performance, productivity, efficiency, safety and sustainability, and thus benefit customers and the environment," said the company. Our future products and services will play an important role in building a sustainable society. ”
