bauma 2025, Volvo and Putzmeister reveal battery-electric pump truck

With the all-electric pump truck, it’s possible to drive up to 50 km and then pump approximately 50 cubic meters of concrete without any need for charging. For longer distances, or for larger quantities of concrete, a CCS charging solution can be installed at the site, and it’s possible to keep pumping the concrete while the truck is being recharged.
