The 2024 season commences in Sweden on 6 July and continues across racetracks in Hungary, Belgium and Portugal, before concluding in Australia on 1 December.

“This partnership with Volvo CE represents a significant step towards our shared goal of a sustainable future,” commented Anders Hagberg, Parker’s VP of Sales Companies, OEMs.

“By integrating our advanced technologies into Volvo CE’s electric fleet, we are not only enhancing performance but also demonstrating the viability of electrification in challenging environments like rallycross.”

At the core of the collaboration is both partners’ commitment to clean technologies and innovation, demonstrated through the integration of Parker’s technologies into the electric machinery fleet of Volvo CE.

Examples of Parker components featured in Volvo’s electrified machines include controllers, inverters, electric motors, coolant filters and hoses, and cooling matrices. This is in addition to Parker’s position as a supplier of hydraulic components and systems for the complete range of Volvo’s traditional and electrified construction machines.

Parker supports customers across the world as they transition to electrification technology, helping them to meet the twin challenges of profit and sustainability.
