Volvo Penta Spotlights Collaborative Approach to Emissions Reduction at ACT Expo 2024

Volvo Penta is showcasing its ongoing efforts towards sustainability at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, taking place May 20-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company will highlight how its collaborative approach has expanded with a growing number of fleet owners and operator partners, delivering customer-centric solutions to meet today’s demands while simultaneously preparing for the transition to a net-zero future.

In booth 2929, alongside sister companies Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Trucks, Volvo Penta will highlight its partnership with Utility Innovation Group by displaying UIG's modular, scalable battery energy storage systems (BESS). These units, powered by Volvo Penta's battery energy storage subsystem offer, deliver the flexibility to support both mobile and stationary power needs.

“Volvo Penta is focused on a multi-pronged approach to emissions reduction,” said Darren Tasker, vice president of Industrial Sales for Volvo Penta of the Americas. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We are exploring several different technologies together with our customers, which addresses their specific needs and helps them reach unique goals on the road to net zero.”

Electrifying innovation

Volvo Penta will also exhibit its electric driveline solution that is being implemented in a variety of off-road machines and applications. The ACT Expo display is located just across the hall from Volvo Penta partner TICO (booth #2916), an early adopter of the company’s electric driveline with deployment across a series of electric terminal tractors now in production. Volvo Penta’s commitment to electromobility also includes the rollout of an electric fire truck alongside OEM partner Rosenbauer, in addition to development of electrified concept model for a multipurpose, highway speed wheeled excavator with partner Gradall.

“We’re proud to be investing in sustainable power solutions, including battery technology, electric drivelines, fuel cells and other innovations, that can help pave the way for a sustainable future,” added Tasker. “Rooted in Volvo Penta’s service-centric approach, we’ll continue to move forward in developing comprehensive solutions that enable customers to increase both their uptime and profitability.”

Volvo Penta offers a wide range of beneficial, value-added services with its electric drivelines and BESS solutions, including installation commonality and vital aftermarket support. Volvo Penta is committed to delivering continuous uptime through its comprehensive end-to-end service offerings, including engineering support on site when needed, even in remote locations.

Perspective on the future

Tasker will provide a keynote to kick off ACT Expo’s New Frontiers for Low and Zero Emissions Vehicles: Off-Road conference session on Monday, May 20 at 8:45 a.m. PT. Tasker will share his insights on the current state of the off-road industry and anticipated developments in sustainable power equipment based on Volvo Penta’s experience in supporting the energy transformation alongside customers.

Volvo Penta’s multifaceted approach to adopting sustainable solutions is bolstered by its growing industry partnerships, along with the company’s collaborations as part of the Volvo Group. Volvo Penta is working together with its sister companies to leverage new technological developments and innovation in alternative fuels to develop solutions to meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Ends.
