PT Tegas Guna Mandiri will use the wheel loader for activities related to port logistics and stockpile management in the Jambi area, integrating the machine into its existing work across the mining and plantation sectors.
The company’s adoption of the electric loader aligns with its focus on operational efficiency and an increasing attention to environmental considerations in industrial operations.
The transaction extends Volvo CE’s introduction of electric equipment in Indonesia, following earlier deployments of the L25 electric for trial purposes and the 2023 launch of the ECR25 electric compact excavator and the L25 electric compact wheel loader.
With the arrival of the L120 electric, the company adds a larger model to its electric line-up in the country, aimed at customers seeking to reduce emissions while maintaining productivity and performance levels.
