Electric asphalt compactor
Volvo CE adds its first electric model for the road segment with the DD25 Electric zero-exhaust emission compact double-drum asphalt compactor.
The electric driveline of the DD25 Electric is based upon the same proven architecture and components found on Volvo CE’s ECR25 Electric compact excavator and L25 Electric compact wheel loader, which were the first electric machines available for the construction market launched in 2020.

Its zero-emission operation makes the DD25 Electric ideal for sensitive or urban environments with strict emission regulations and for organizations looking to meet their own sustainability goals. Zero tailpipe emissions also mean a cleaner and more enjoyable work environment for operators, site teams and passers-by.
Expected to operate for a full shift on a single charge depending upon the type of job and intensity of the work cycle, the machine comes with an integrated on-board charger which enables charging from zero to 100 percent in as little as three hours depending on AC power level. With an optional off-board DC fast charger, this can be achieved in a little more than an hour; it also offers a practical solution to top-up the machine’s charge during the lunch break.
Combining the proven Volvo Asphalt Compactor platform with battery power, the DD25 Electric offers 24 kW of available power, 30 percent more than the conventional Volvo DD25B. The result is a more responsive machine in terms of speed and vibrations, which performs better on grade, thanks to the size of its components, and better at high elevations, when compared to a diesel machine which loses power as you increase altitude.
Its 360-degree visibility and high-frequency compaction allow operators to achieve a smooth finish asphalt surface with speed. Frequency can be adjusted from 3500 vpm/55 Hz to 4000 vpm/67 Hz to cater for different applications.
With no engine to service and maintenance-free electric components, batteries and motors, maintenance requirements are reduced, saving customers time and money, sources report.
