The eABG 4820, developed by Ammann and Volvo Penta, is a fully electric road paver based on the diesel-powered ABG 4820 model. The machine features a 270 kWh battery capacity distributed across three modular units and a 99 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor operating at 600 volts.
The paver supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, requiring approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge, or AC charging at 22 kW, which takes about twelve hours. The machine offers a paving capacity of up to 500 tonnes of asphalt per hour, with a paving width between 2.5 and 6.5 metres and a maximum thickness of 300 millimetres.
Ammann reports that the eABG 4820 has achieved a daily output record of 1,200 tonnes of asphalt. The machine is currently available for commercial orders. The manufacturer estimates a 70 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional diesel-powered equipment.
The industry is seeing broader adoption of electric road construction machinery. For instance, Dynapac introduced the SD25 80C e at Bauma 2025, which includes a 294 kWh battery and 235 kW of total motor output, as well as the smaller SD1800W e model launched in 2022.
