Volvo Group at New York Climate Week 2024

Hosted by Climate Group, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action, Climate Week NYC. Since 2009, Climate Week has been held alongside the United Nations General Assembly, offering an annual opportunity for senior business leaders, policymakers, civil society and the climate sector to come together and collaborate on climate related initiatives.

 

This year's Climate Week's theme is 'It's Time' - intended to highlight the urgency of investment into clean energy and net zero emission technologies.  During Climate Week NYC over 600 events will take place bringing science, business, government and society together to push for change. Volvo Group will be among the participants and showcasing our progress toward a zero-emission world with total solutions for construction, transport and mobility.

 

Climate Week NYC runs between September 22-29

A net zero construction site

 

Discover how Volvo Group products, services, and total solutions can help you reach net zero on your construction site. We offer a broad selection of construction machines, trucks and total solutions designed to support your journey towards a fossil-free world. 

What is sustainable construction?

Sustainable Construction involves using renewable and recyclable materials wherever possible on building projects. From a Volvo Group perspective, it reflects our ongoing drive to provide on-site sustainable construction solutions.

 

The construction industry accounts for approximately 50% of raw material consumption, and associated waste. Volvo Group's product offering enables the construction industry to reduce its environmental impact by transitioning to low- and zero-carbon construction equipment, transport, and service solutions.

 

So-called 'green construction' methods, which include the use of fossil-free powered equipment in conjunction with sustainable building materials and techniques, help to create emission-free construction sites. In a similar manner, increased digitalization and optimization solutions can also help to increase efficiency and reduce waste.

 

Emission-free construction sites are now achievable

A key method for reducing or eliminating emissions on construction sites is by using emission-free equipment. Battery electric excavators, wheel loaders and trucks can help site owners to make immediate improvements in air quality and reduce noise pollution in built-up areas.

 

It's time to drive emissions-free construction

As a key industry player, Volvo Group believes that the time is right to move to emission-free construction sites. Our broad range of emission-free construction equipment is ready to make this happen. Today.

Frequently asked questions

Sustainable construction sites are construction sites that use modern sustainable building materials, techniques and equipment, aimed at reducing emissions.

Fossil-free construction equipment can be equipment such as excavators or loaders, dump trucks etc. that use fossil-free fuel or electric power to operate. Battery electric construction equipment, which can be recharged on-site, is becoming increasingly popular on construction sites in city environments, where low noise and zero-emissions are required. A sustaianble construction site using fossil-free construction equipment can also benefit from transports/deliveries made by electric trucks to further reduce emission levels.

Sustainable construction materials in use today include insulated access doors and panels, alongside lighter, renewable and more resilient materials that help to reduce the carbon footprint of the buildings that utilize them.

Sustainable construction techniques can include limiting material waste, using new technologies to reduce emissions and to reduce the need for air conditioning and/or heating. Increased insulation effectively reduces the overall electric power needs, while intelligent 'sensing' technologies can help to regulate power consumption and heating requirements when buildings are unoccupied.

Emission-free city services

Volvo Group can offer fossil-free total solutions for city services to municipalities, with garbage collection, roadwork and infrastructure maintenance and repair equipment, portable power solutions and more.

We help cities to create an integrated system-wide approach to decarbonizing operations, increasing productivity and reducing noise pollution, enabling round-the-clock operations.
