The truck in question was a Volvo ‘FM Electric’ 8x4 rigid with a tag tridem configuration, mounted with an ‘eBSF’ concrete pump, with a reach of 42 metres, installed by Putzmeister.

SSAB has agreed to supply Putzmeister with steel which has been produced through its patented ‘Hybrit’ process.

The new building will replace the company’s old Hamburg branch which dates back to the 1970s.

Putzmeister, a subsidiary of Sany Group since January 2012, last year became the official importer and distributor of Sany electric trucks in Europe.

This distribution plan of SANY electric trucks into Europe was initiated some six or seven months ago with the unveiling and launch of the iONTRON eMixer truck at Bauma 2022, which was held in Munich, Germany last October.
