The Sweden-based company says that the updated models feature a new electronic system and a specially developed transmission.

The improvements are also said to yield fuel efficiency gains of up to 15%, depending on the model and its industrial application. Additionally, the machine’s design has been engineered to adapt over time to accommodate future drivetrains.

The new A50 has a payload capacity of 45 tons and offers 10% more productivity and 8% better fuel efficiency compared to the previous generation A45GFS.

In addition to this, service costs are reduced by up to 6% over 12,000 hours of operation due to simplified servicing, longer change intervals and easy component access.

The full range of haulers has been enhanced with a redesigned cab, prioritising operator comfort. Additionally, a larger windscreen and a lower hood have been implemented to improve visibility.

All articulated haulers manufactured in Braås, Sweden, now utilise low carbon emission steel, resulting in a reduction of annual CO₂ emissions by over 13,000 tons.

The updated lineup replaces the A35G, A40G, and A45G models, while the A25G, A30G, and A60H will remain in production until later this year. The first wave, including the A40, A50, A35, and A45, will be available in select markets soon, with the remaining models scheduled for a second wave launch later in the year.

Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE, emphasised the company’s legacy and ongoing commitment to innovation, “For nearly 60 years, we have been leading the way with our range of articulated haulers. [The] launch of a new range of outstanding products, including the completely new A50 model, proves there are no limits to our capacity for innovation.”
