Volvos electric wheel loader revolutionizes Munich's tunnel construction at the Marienhof!
A very special construction project is currently being realized under the historic Marienhof in Munich, which not only drives urban development, but also sets new standards in the field of electromobility. On behalf of Deutsche Bahn, the construction companies Implenia and Hochtief realize an underground train station, which is 44 meters below the road level. The use of Europe's first fully electric large wheel loader, the Volvo L120 Electric, is a real sensation for this lower stop. Electrive reports that this wheel loader is equipped with an impressive lifting force of 6 tons and is used under special tunnel conditions will avoid a risk of fire through conventional internal combustion engines.The construction activities take place at a depth of 27 meters, whereby overpressure is required to keep groundwater away. Therefore, only electrically operated devices may be used. The Volvo L120 Electric shines not only through its emission -free technology, but also through a term of up to eight hours per shift. The drivers are consistently praised the precise control and the calm working method of the L120 Electric. ATECH drive technology , the companies are under pressure thanks to strict environmental requirements and technological advances, their machines electrify.
A look at the future of the construction industry
The electrification of construction machines is a growing trend that is strongly inspired by increasing fuel prices and growing environmental awareness. Funding programs of the federal government and municipal initiatives in cities such as Munich are increasingly supporting the transition to emission -free construction sites. The market for electrical construction machines develops dynamically and is not only driven by companies such as Volvo CE, but also by other manufacturers such as Liebherr and Wacker Neuson.
The advantages of electrically operated construction sites are unmistakable: less noise, better air quality and a more pleasant work environment. Boiger and his team are already dreaming of expanding the use of further electrical machines in future projects - a brave step into a greener building future.
