The Volvo L120 Electric wheel loader has made its UK debut at Heidelberg Materials UK's Nuneaton site, replacing a diesel loader at the bagging facility. This transition supports the company's decarbonization efforts.

SMT GB provided charger installation, operator training, and ongoing support for efficiency. The loader operates for 7.5 hours on a charge and is significantly quieter than its diesel counterpart. This introduction follows Heidelberg Materials' investments in electric vehicles and builds on previous collaborations with Volvo and SMT focused on sustainability and circular economy principles.
