VOLVO Trucks has supplied Cemex with its first fully electric, zero exhaust emission, heavy-duty concrete mixer. The battery electric truck marks the next step in the two companies’ global collaboration in deploying electromobility solutions. The FMX Electric will be operating at a ready-mix concrete plant in Spandau, Berlin.
Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks, said: “Both our companies have committed to ambitious sustainability targets and collaboration is the way to get there. Our electric truck’s silent operation provides a better environment for people working at construction sites, as well as for residents living nearby. ”
“Cemex is committed to becoming a net-zero CO2 company and innovation and collaboration are at the core of this commitment,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. “Rolling out our first fully electric ready-mix truck is a strong progress in that direction.”
