Volvo at CONEXPO 2023 Post-Show Recap

Volvo at CONEXPO 2023

The construction industry is evolving. More electric heavy equipment, plus other alternatively powered machines, are emerging. Jobsites have more reliable connectivity. There are brand new ways to more efficiently run a business and manage a fleet, just to name a few.

That’s why this CONEXPO was perfectly timed to help attendees and our virtual audience understand what the future holds and how Volvo can help get them ready for the changes that are quickly approaching — and that’s exactly what we did.

If you missed stopping by or logging in virtually — or if you simply want to share a quick Volvo recap with a co-worker — these highlights of our CONEXPO booth capped off a week full of energy and optimism for the exciting future of our ever-changing industry.

Change Starts Here.

Our show theme was “Change Starts Here. Be Ready for It,” and our 55,000-square-foot Volvo booth provided attendees a place to not just see products but also to interact with our experts and with each other to discuss our changing industry and how to be ready to take on new opportunities.

Especially popular were the two operating areas where attendees could operate our compact electric wheel loaders and excavators. In the premier arena, attendees could try their hand at fun challenges to compete against fellow operators. If you didn’t get a chance to try one of these quiet, powerful electric machines, find out if your local Volvo dealer is hosting an Electric Demo Days event near you.

We displayed our EC230 Electric excavator in North America for the first time and announced that customer pilots are starting soon in the U.S. This 23-ton battery-electric excavator is a step up in an industry where electric vehicles thus far have mostly been compact models.

Another activity hub was our Solutions Hall that featured demonstrations of services and technologies such as machine control systems, advanced telematics, financial solutions and jobsite connectivity tools that can take businesses to the next level. Our advice to customers was clear: paying attention to the iron isn’t enough in today’s construction industry — it’s by pairing the right machine with the right services that you’ll truly get a comprehensive solution.

Additional announcements included both machines and services. At the show, we:

With Las Vegas being an entertainment hotspot, we also made sure there was plenty of fun in our booth. TV and social media stars such as the Gold Rush cast met with fans. We also displayed an electric race car and talked with drivers from the all-electric FIA World Rallycross Championship, for which Volvo CE is the Official Construction Equipment Supplier and Track Building Supplier.

We also streamed a four-day virtual show from Las Vegas, bringing our booth to people who couldn’t make it to CONEXPO and giving those who did attend an opportunity to see additional content. Our CONEXPO virtual sessions are now available to share or watch on demand.
