This world\u2019s first fully electric deconstruction site is being hailed as a landmark in sustainable urban development \u2014 and it\u2019s powered by Siemens technology and Volvo Group\u2019s battery-electric trucks and heavy equipment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The deconstruction project (that\u2019s kind of like a really careful demolition) marks the first full-scale electric deconstruction of its kind, and serves as important proof that with the right partners and the will to do it, urban construction projects like this can be carried out sustainably, today \u2013 and all without fossil fuels<\/a>. It\u2019s all part of Siemens\u2019 \u20ac500 million technology campus redevelopment, the deconstruction site in Erlangen, Germany, and marks a pivotal step in advancing sustainable urban transformation and circular construction practices.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the demolition specialists at Metzner Recycling, Volvo CE deployed a fully electric fleet of equipment assets specially chosen to deliver quiet, precision demolition across the 25,000 cubic meter job site.<\/p>\n

\n

As well as deconstruction tasks, the electric machines helped sort and process approximately 12,800 tons of construction waste, with 96% recycled into raw materials for future use \u2013 supporting the shift towards circular materials management.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Siemens Real Estate, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainable construction and demolition,\u201d explains Christian Franz, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Real Estate. \u201cThis groundbreaking electric deconstruction project boasts an impressive 96% recycling rate and is a testament to our commitment to achieving excellence in sustainability \u2026 this project illustrates how partnerships and determination can create a lasting impact and help shape a more sustainable real estate industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition the construction equipment was hauled into the site by Volvo Truck\u2019s battery electric semi trucks, enabling emission-free operations from demolition, to crushing, materials processing, and transport.<\/p>\n
