Volvo CE invests in Limach

May. 15, 2022

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), Gothenburg, Sweden, has invested in Dutch firm Limach, a manufacturer of electric excavators for the domestic market. The majority investment in Electric Special Technics B.V., which operates under the brand name Limach, complements Volvo CE’s long-term electrification roadmap and provides the opportunity to broaden the electromobility portfolio and add to the five electric compact machines currently available.

Limach offers customized electric wheeled and crawler excavators to the Dutch market.

“Climate change is real and we believe collaborating in new ways is key to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions,” said Thomas Bitter, head of technology, Volvo CE. “As a leader in electric construction solutions, we see Limach as an interesting actor in a progressive market, and a great complement to our existing portfolio of electric machines, meaning our customers will benefit from a broader range to suit their requirements.”

The current range extends from the compact E18.3 electric mini excavator with an operating range of 1,810 kg to the E140.1, which has an operating weight of more than 14,000 kg and complements Volvo CE’s existing range of electric machines.

The internal combustion engine on select excavators will be replaced by a Limach-developed electrification kit. Limach will continue to operate as a standalone company.
