The construction industry is evolving. More heavy electrical equipment appears, along with other alternative power machines. Workplaces have more reliable connectivity. There are new ways to run a business and manage a fleet more efficiently, 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 prepare them for the changes that are fast approaching, and that’s exactly what what we did
If you missed the booth or virtual session, or if you just want to share a quick roundup of Volvo with a co-worker, these highlights from our CONEXPO booth capped off a week full of energy and optimism for the exciting future of our ever…changing industry.
Change starts here.
The theme of our show was “Change starts here. Be ready for it,” and our 55,000 square foot Volvo booth gave attendees a place not only to see the products, but also to interact with our experts and with each other to discuss our changing industry and how to be ready to take advantage of new opportunities. .
Especially popular were the two operational areas where attendees could operate our wheel loaders and compact electric excavators. On the main stage, attendees could try fun challenges to compete with other operators. If you haven’t had a chance to test drive one of these quiet and powerful electric machines, find out if your local Volvo dealer is hosting an Electric Demo Days event near you.
We showcased our EC230 electric excavator in North America for the first time and announced that customer pilots will begin soon in the US. This 23-ton battery electric excavator is a step forward in an industry where electric vehicles have so far mostly been compact models.
Another hub of activity was our Solutions Hall, which featured demonstrations of services and technologies such as machine control systems, advanced telematics, financial solutions and workplace connectivity tools that can bring businesses to next level Our advice to clients was clear: it is not enough to pay attention to the iron in today’s construction industry; it is by combining the right machine with the right services that you really get a comprehensive solution.
Additional ads included both machines and services. In the show, we:

Since Las Vegas is a hotspot for entertainment, we also made sure there was plenty of fun at our booth. TV and social media stars, including the cast of Gold Rush, met with fans. We also showed an electric race car and spoke to drivers from the all-electric FIA World Rallycross Championship, for which Volvo CE is the official construction equipment supplier and track construction supplier.
We also streamed a four-day virtual show from Las Vegas, bringing our booth closer to people who couldn’t make it to CONEXPO and giving those who did attend a chance to see additional content. Our CONEXPO virtual sessions are now available to share or watch on demand.
