$400M Rehabilitation of Michigan’s Edenville Dam

By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT

Five years after days of steady rain caused the failure of one dam and damaged three others in Gladwin and Midland counties, Michigan, a $400 million project to “repair, improve and restore” the dams are on schedule and on budget.

Crews with Spence Brothers are currently at work restoring spillways on the Edenville Dam, the largest of the four that also includes the Sanford, Secord and Smallwood Dams. Located on the Tittabawassee and Tobacco Rivers, the Edenville Dam provides water control for the Wixom Lake on which about 2,785 homeowners enjoy waterfront property.

“We had what is basically a big trencher come in,” said Jim McIntyre, Edenville project manager, Four Lakes Task Force. “In one pass as it’s pulling out the dirt, it puts bentonite

Build America Update Takes Effect New Information Clarifies

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

In February, the FHWA published an updated Q&A document on the Build America, Buy America law. Clarifications on iron and steel construction products can be found in the document, along with a definition of what constitutes being “made in America.” Application dates for the rule, which eliminates the manufactured products waiver, are also included in the updates.

In the process, the agency keeps the Biden-era manufactured products rule unchanged and removes a waiver that

Mount Pleasant, Wis., OKs Microsoft Data Centers Expansion

The Mount Pleasant Village board on Jan. 26 approved Microsoft’s plan to build 15 additional data centers in a move that FOX6 News Milwaukee reports will significantly expand an artificial intelligence project already under way in Racine County. The new construction will join two data centers already being built on Microsoft-owned land zoned for industrial use, according to FOX6.

Village President David DeGroot told FOX6 the project positions the community at the forefront of a rapidly emerging technology sector.

“I think it is an emerging market and I think that there isn’t a better spot for us to be in,” he said.

FOX6 reports that nine of the new data centers will be constructed near Durand Avenue with work expected to begin by late summer or early fall 2026. Six more are planned off International Drive though that phase remains in preliminary planning. Village officials told FOX6 the multiyear effort will convert large areas of land into infrastructure supporting Microsoft’s AI systems.

FOX6 reported that most speakers at the meeting supported the expansion and cited opportunities for economic development and job creation.

Labor leaders also voiced support. Michael Ervin, organizing director of Operating Engineers Local 139, told FOX6 that union workers are already active on existing Microsoft sites and ready for the additional workload.

“AI is here whether you like it or not — $13 billion is a lot of work and we’re ready to do it,” he said. “We do it skillfully, we do it safely.”

DeGroot told FOX6 the scale of the project is unprecedented for the region.

“What’s being built out there is the largest supercomputer in the world by a factor of ten,” he said.

Village officials told FOX6 they expect long-term economic benefits, though they acknowledged that infrastructure demands and environmental considerations will need continued attention as the project advances. 

John Deere Announces Two New United States Facilities

In keeping with its tradition of building America, John Deere announced plans to open two new U.S.-based facilities: a distribution center near Hebron, Ind., and an excavator factory in Kernersville, N.C., both set to open in the next year.

“Our investment in these new facilities underscores John Deere’s dedication to strengthening the backbone of American industry and supporting local economies,” said John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere. “We believe in building America, and these projects represent our intent to continue driving innovation and job creation in the United States.”

New Distribution Center in Ind.

John Deere recently broke ground on a new distribution center near Hebron, Ind., located to enhance its supply chain capabilities nationwide, according to the company. This facility will be designed to streamline operations and ensure timely delivery of equipment and parts. The Indiana project is anticipated to generate employment opportunities with approximately 150 jobs, contributing to the state’s economic growth.

“This new facility is an investment in customer expectations around world class prod-

uct support through parts availability for our US based ag, turf, construction, forestry, mining and turf customers,” said Denver Caldwell, vice president of aftermarket and customer support. “Indiana’s strong workforce and central location make it an ideal choice for expansion.”

John Deere will continue to maintain its primary North American parts distribution center in Milan, Ill., which has been in operation since 1973 and employs approximately 1,200 people.

Kernersville, N.C., Excavator Factory

The new $70 million factory in Kernersville, N.C., will bolster John Deere’s

manufacturing capabilities, leveraging new technology to produce excavators for the construction market. The North Carolina factory will assume production of future generation excavators previously produced in Japan.

This facility will employ more than 150 people and will help meet equipment demand and strengthen the company’s commitment to manufacturing within the United States.

“We are excited to bring this new facility to our Kernersville campus and to be part of the region’s thriving manufacturing community,” said Ryan Campbell, president of worldwide construction, forestry and power systems. “Our focus will be on delivering excellence, creating jobs and advancing the legacy of John Deere in American manufacturing.”

Building America

With the opening of these two facilities, John Deere will create hundreds of new jobs in the United States, further supporting local communities and advancing our mission to build a stronger America.

“These investments further demonstrate our commitment to invest $20 billion in U.S. manufacturing over the next 10 years,” May said. “It is a testament to our confidence in the future of U.S. manufacturing and our unwavering commitment to innovation, quality and economic growth.”

Officials Break Ground On Nebraska’s Hastings Southeast Project

On Jan. 12, 2026, Gov. Jim Pillen, joined by Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) officials and Hastings Mayor Jay Beckby, marked a significant milestone in Nebraska’s commitment to safe and efficient transportation infrastructure with the groundbreaking of the Hastings Southeast project.

This project represents the final planned investment as part of the first 10 years of the Build Nebraska Act (BNA), which expanded 17 expressways, interstate or national high priority corridors.

The project will reconstruct approximately 2.38 mi. of U.S. Highway 6 (U.S. 6) in Adams County. It will improve safety by installing a roundabout to help with traffic flow, creating additional turn lanes and reducing congestion by using a design that will direct semi traffic out of the city center.

Gov. Pillen emphasized the project’s role in advancing Nebraska’s transportation priorities.

Construction is slated to begin as early as spring 2026, but utility work is under way in the area in preparation for construction season. The entire project is estimated to be completed in summer 2028. Werner Construction Inc., headquartered in Hastings, Neb., will serve as the contractor.

“We are standing by our commitment to modernize Nebraska’s transportation system,” he said. “The $41 million investment in U.S. 6 is not just a road project; it is a safety project. More than 10,000 vehicles are expected to use this stretch of highway daily by 2045, and this project addresses issues of freight movement and pedestrian

safety before they even arise.”

The project is a major infrastructure investment funded through state and local sources.

“This project is a long-awaited and much-needed improvement for our community,” said Beckby. “When finished, the road will safely serve the residents of Hastings and visitors to our community with an appealing entrance to southeast Hastings for many decades into the

future.”

“The Hastings Southeast project demonstrates how thoughtful design choices can maximize safety while managing costs,” said NDOT Director Vicki Kramer. “By reconstructing this corridor with modern safety features, strategic truck routing and improved pedestrian access, we are preparing U.S. 6 to safely serve growing traffic volumes while minimizing impacts.”

BNA revenue supported major improvements statewide, such as expansion of U.S. 385, known as the Heartland Expressway; U.S. 30 expansion West of Grand Island; Lincoln Bypass and Expressway expansion on U.S. 75 from Bellevue and Murray; and U.S. 30 from Columbus to Fremont.

More infrastructure projects are in development to improve safety and mobility of Nebraska’s infrastructure. NDOT is preparing projects to invest in the Omaha metro area, I-80 Interchange at Newberry in North Platte and finishing the expansion of U.S. 75 expressway between Murray and Nebraska City and the U.S. 385 Heartland Expressway. 

Southeastern Equipment’s Scott Hartzell Surpasses $100M in Sales

Southeastern Equipment Company honored long-time sales representative Scott Hartzell for achieving an extraordinary career milestone — exceeding $100 million in lifetime sales. Hartzell is the first person in Southeastern Equipment history to achieve this milestone, marking nearly 34 years of dedicated service to the company and its customers.

Hartzell exemplifies the dedication, customer service and long-term commitment that have helped shape Southeastern into the company it is today. His success stems from building lasting relationships with contractor clients who share the same values that Southeastern was founded on — dependable support, helpful solutions and honest communication.

Meaningful Recognition

To recognize this amazing accomplishment, Hartzell was presented with the “$100 Bill Award,” a framed $100 bill signed by Southeastern founder William L. “Bill” Baker.

But the award carries even deeper significance.

The frame’s background features a replica of the wallpaper from the Baker family home. Years ago, Baker placed a large check

Southeastern history. It’s a tribute not only to his impressive sales achievement, but to the lasting mark he has made on the company and the customers he has served.

• Customer Focused: His success is built on being deeply invested in his customers’ success and delivering tailored solutions with a personalized approach that achieves real results.

• Thoughtful: Hartzell listens with empathy, responds thoughtfully and treats others with fairness and respect, always striving for a win-win-win for customers, company and team.

“Scott’s success is the result of decades of showing up, doing the right thing for our customers and living out our values,” said Mike Mampieri, vice president of sales. “His dedication doesn’t just move machines … it moves this company forward.”

RPC Inc. Announces Investment in Topcon Solutions Stores

Topcon Positioning Systems has announced a significant strategic investment in its United States retail network — Topcon Solutions Stores (TSS) — by RPC Inc.

The agreement marks a major milestone for the Topcon organization and its impact on the construction technology market in the United States. The investment will strengthen TSS’s continued commitment to help more contractors modernize their job sites through its technology solutions, according to the company.

Long-term structural trends in the United States construction market — including housing shortages, infrastructure investment and modernization of aging assets continue to drive demand. Yet the sector has historically lagged in digital adoption, creating substantial opportunity for techenabled retailers to lead the next phase of industry transformation. RPC Inc. sees this moment as a pivotal opportunity to support Topcon Solutions Stores in their journey to drive technology adoption.

“We see tremendous opportunity in the U.S. construction sector, particularly as contractors accelerate their projects through digital transformation,” said David Alban, RPC Inc. board member and CEO and president of Ring Power Corporation. “Topcon is a global leader in positioning technology, and Topcon Solutions Stores have earned the trust of thousands of end users across the country. By investing in TSS, we are supporting a business that is positioned to modernize a massive, essential industry and deliver real value to the professionals who build America’s infrastructure.”

Ivan Di Federico, president and CEO of Topcon Positioning Systems, said, “RPC Inc.’s investment reflects

the growing recognition that positioning technology and job site automation are essential to the future of construction. Topcon Solutions Stores play a critical role in delivering that technology directly to the field, backed by training, service and trusted local support. RPC Inc.’s commitment reinforces the long-term potential of the North American market and the value of our retail network.”

“RPC Inc.’s investment is a strong endorsement of the work our TSS team does to support contractors as they adopt digital workflows, automation tools and

Lodge, executive vice president of construction of Topcon.

“The construction industry is changing rapidly, and this investment strengthens the push toward improved productivity and performance.”

“Topcon Solutions Stores currently operates in 14 retail locations and serves 22 states. We are a strong organization that will become stronger with the growth potential this investment brings,” said Mark Contino, vice president of Topcon North American retail distribution, TSS. “As a direct Topcon distributor and an Autodesk platinum partner, we

Komatsu Plans to Acquire Assets of SRC of Lexington Inc.

Komatsu North America has entered into an agreement to acquire assets of SRC of Lexington Inc., a supplier of remanufactured components and parts for construction and mining equipment based in Lexington, Ky. The deal is scheduled to close by the end of February 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The acquisition will strengthen Komatsu’s remanufacturing capabilities in North America and expand its ability to support customers as demand for reman solutions continues to grow. With this investment into a dedicated reman facility in the United States, Komatsu will further strengthen its presence in North America, one of the world’s largest construction and mining equipment markets.

Demand for remanufactured components has increased alongside the growth of the installed base of quarry and mining equipment in North America since 2010. During that period, Komatsu’s reman business has expanded significantly, with transaction volume increasing approximately fourfold from FY2010 to FY2024.

“North America is one of Komatsu’s most important markets for both construction and mining equipment,” said Danny Murtagh, vice president, parts and infrastructure, Komatsu North America. “This acquisition allows us to deepen our reman capabilities closer to customers, improve responsiveness and support dealers and end users with high-

quality, cost-effective solutions throughout the equipment lifecycle.”

“This agreement reflects a shared commitment to remanufacturing excellence, technical expertise and long-term support for customers,” said Tim Stack, president, SRC Holdings Corp. “Just as important, it reflects our responsibility to do what is right for our

people. Becoming part of Komatsu allows the Lexington team to build on over three decades of remanufacturing strength, while providing the investment, long-term support and opportunity needed to carry that legacy forward into its next chapter.”

Through its reman operations, Komatsu recovers used components from construction and mining equipment, restores them to likenew condition at dedicated facilities and returns them to the market with the same quality standards as new components. Remanufacturing can help reduce cost and lead time while supporting resource efficiency through reuse.

Komatsu established its global two-pillar reman structure with the launch of a facility in Chile in 2005 to support electric dump trucks manufactured in the United States, followed by a facility in Indonesia in 2007 serving equipment manufactured in Japan. As of 2025, Komatsu’s reman network has grown to 45 locations across 16 countries.

Komatsu’s PC365LC-11 Excavator Takes Performance, Savings to Higher Level

Komatsu introduced the new PC365LC-11 multifunction plus excavator to the North American market.

It features a refreshed exterior design, an enhanced operator cab and several new standard and optional features built and optimized for the North American construction market.

The PC365LC-11 is the only excavator in its class featuring an electric swing system with “boom-up” power assist, according to Komatsu. The dedicated electric swing motor improves swing speeds and operational efficiency, reducing cycle times in multifunction applications delivering up to a 15 percent increase in productivity compared to the PC360LC-11. The ultracapacitor stores an additional 70 electric horsepower for acceleration when the engine is in ultra-low idle for instantaneous power to the work equipment on demand.

The ultra-low idle state reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent, extending runtimes and lowering total cost of ownership. All electrical energy used in this system is generated during normal operation and stored in the ultracapacitor — no external charging needed. Without the need for hydraulic power for swing operations, this power is fully available for the boom, arm and bucket cylinders.

Optimizing hydraulic flow further reduces digging cycle times and reduces work equipment lag, enabling smoother operation in multifunction applications. These features also make the PC365LC11 quieter, according to Komatsu.

Compared to the previous model, this workhorse brings new features and enhancements across three key areas: operator experience, technology and attachment flexibility:

• Greater operator comfort for long shifts: A new heated air-suspension operator seat features a high leather back, improved cushioning and multiple adjustments. New proportional joysticks offer an intuitive, ergonomic feel that’s easy to use, helping reduce operator fatigue and wrist stress.

• Technology that gets the job done: The KomVision camera system comes as standard and provides a real-time bird’s-eye view of the machine and its surroundings to help improve situational awareness that drives Komatsu’s mission of zero harm. An optional Smart Construction 3D machine guidance kit can be factory-installed. This system provides operators in the field and managers in the office access to 3D design and topography data that help drive work accuracy, control load volumes and promote optimized operations.

• Efficient, fast and versatile attach-

ment operation: The tool control system is standard for machine configurations with an additional hydraulic piping line, which allows operators to configure and store flow rates/target pressures for multiple attachments. Attachment information is displayed on the in-cab monitor interface.

This system improves efficiency, precision and performance by enabling quick switching between attachments with accurate, preconfigured hydraulic settings tailored to each tool, according to Komatsu. Optional hydraulic quick coupler piping can be factory-installed for quick, easy attachment of tools, such as the Lehnhoff quick coupler system.

For added peace of mind, this machine’s electric powertrain components are covered by a 7-year/15,000hour transferable warranty.

“The PC365LC-11 was engineered for excellence in multifunction applications by leveraging its innovative electric powertrain system to boost job site productivity while reducing fuel consumption,” said Matthew Moen, product manager. “To highlight these performance enhancements, we’re emphasizing the concept of ‘multifunction plus’ as the defining feature of this machine.”

Volvo Construction Equipment is launching the latest evolution in its short swing radius excavator range.

Volvo CE Unveils ECR355 Excavator

With Precision, Efficiency Upgrades

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is launching the latest evolution in its short swing radius excavator range.

Addressing key productivity challenges such as tight-space operation and demanding lifting needs, the new ECR355 delivers greater fuel efficiency, increased lifting performance and enhanced operator comfort, according to Volvo. Built for the building and utilities sectors, it helps customers achieve more with less.

Efficiency at Its Core

The ECR355 delivers up to 7 percent greater fuel efficiency than the previous generation, due to a new electrohydraulic control system and redesigned main control valve. The system uses electronic sensors and the machine’s onboard computer to optimize flow and pressure, ensuring smooth and precise control of the boom, arm and bucket movements. Electric cooling fans operate only when needed, minimizing engine load, noise and fuel consumption. Operators also benefit from a host of additional efficiency-enhancing technologies, including new engine work modes, comfort driving control (CDC), hydraulic priority setting and automatic engine shutdown, which all contribute to lower running costs and higher uptime.

Higher Performance in Tight Spaces

Built for versatility, the ECR355 offers a 7 percent increase in lifting

capacity and 4 percent more tractive force, unlocking new possibilities for heavy lifting, grading and loading in confined environments.

Volvo’s active control system automates boom and bucket movements for up to 45 percent faster grading with less rework and fatigue. Integrated boundary limits and dig assist apps support 2D/3D machine control and in-field design, helping operators work faster, safer and more accurately. Features like boundary limits, boom/swing priority functions and a floating dozer blade ensure precision, speed and safety on every task.

Built for Uptime

Volvo excavators boast some of the longest service intervals in the industry, including 1,000-hour engine oil changes and 3,000-hour hydraulic oil changes, according to Volvo. These synchronized intervals, aligned in 1,000-hour increments, simplify servicing and help reduce costs. The ECR355 is designed to stay working longer, with service intervals and simplified maintenance access. Key components are grouped for easy reach, with ground-level refilling and quickdrain ports to minimize downtime.

Volvo smart view with people and obstacle detection uses 360 degree cameras and intelligent radar to enhance site safety. Meanwhile, CareTrack telematics and ActiveCare provide real-time machine health data and predictive maintenance alerts which keeps fleets productive and protected.

Comfort That Drives Performance

The next generation of excavators provides Volvo’s operators environment — the new short swing excavators have a full-size conventional cab, resulting in 20 percent more space compared to other short swing models.

“When designing any new product, we wanted to keep the interest of our operators at heart,” said Jaesu Kim, global product manager of Volvo CE.

“The improved productivity within the ECR355 creates an unrivalled comfortable working environment across long shifts. Operators will also find 50 percent better in-cab cooling performance, reduced noise levels due to new electric fans and a host of modern conveniences, including Bluetooth connectivity, wireless phone charging, extensive storage solutions and a two-stage filtration system for cleaner air.”

Control is smoother and more intuitive with the precision joystick system and ergonomic switch layout, allowing operators to customize settings to suit their preferences. New electric travel pedals ensure lightning-fast response, while features such as a tiltable left console and ergonomic handrails make cab entry and exit easy and safe.

As with all Volvo standard excavators, the ECR355 comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, boom and arm. The ECR355 is now available for order in North America, Europe, Korea and Japan.

This system, now integrated as standard on R 922 to R 945 G8 models, continuously optimizes the hydraulics and the diesel engine and reduces fuel consumption by up to 10 percent — without compromising productivity, according to Liebherr.

Easy to activate and able to store the operator’s preferred settings, LPE mode also offers a temporary performance boost for key movements, ensuring fast, precise and efficient work suited to every job site.

Liebherr’s new diesel exhaust fluid filling pump enables direct filling from the ground, and eliminates any risk of overflowing, contamination and corrosion, according to Liebherr. The operator no longer has to climb onto or off the upper carriage. The procedure is designed to save time. In conjunction with the fuel filling pump, this Liebherr solution is establishing itself as a clear benefit on demanding building sites.

2D Control, BFA, Weighing Device, Skyview 360

The Leica 2D control system is now available as standard. Fully integrated into the main display, it provides an interface with clear, color- coded visuals for leveling and earthmoving tasks. The system delivers precision within .79 in. and offers configuration to suit any project, according to Liebherr.

The 2D guidance system also is expandable, enabling “3D ready” options from Leica, including passive 3D or semi automated 3D functions for even greater accuracy on demanding jobs. The result is higher productivity, enhanced safety and ease of use through a streamlined, operator friendly interface, according to Liebherr.

With the bucket filling assistant (BFA), Liebherr is automating bucket filling in order to optimize excavation cycles. A simple joystick command is sufficient to trigger the completely automated process that allows fast, precise and consistent bucket filling, according to Liebherr.

Available as a full factory installed feature or via software update, the BFA system includes an anti stall function that prevents bucket blockage, delivering productivity, reduced operating costs and ease of use. To enable users to get to know this assistance system, Liebherr offers 500 hours complimentary BFA use.

The weighing device also is integrated directly into the main display for the generation 8 crawler excavator as standard. This system measures with a precision of approximately 2 percent in real time during the entire loading cycle. Due to automated data recording via Liebherr Connect (depending on the license), users benefit from optimum tracking and complete traceability, according to Liebherr.

This feature is available from the factory site or via a software update and guarantees optimum HGV loading, reduces the risk of overloading and avoids potential fines. To test this system, Liebherr offers the opportunity to use it for 500

Hyundai Adds HW100A Wheeled Excavator to N.A. Lineup

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is adding the 25,221-lb. HW100A to its lineup of wheeled excavators, which ranges from the R55W-9A at 12,240 lbs. to the 46,690-lb. HW210A.

Digging to a depth of 13 ft. 11 in. and delivering 101 net hp, the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet is particularly suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment can’t, according to Hyundai.

This new compact excavator features a spacious cab with a fulllength glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, airsuspension seat and other comfortrelated features. For safety, the HW100A comes standard with right and rearview cameras, LED light package and other features.

Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar for added job safety and peace of mind when working in congested spaces, according to Hyundai.

With a maximum speed of 24 mph, the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round,

which provides the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling.

“This means the Hyundai

HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” said Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.

Customizable Power, Performance Settings

“Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A,” Vargas said. “They have four work modes to choose from. The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like leveling and fine grading. The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching. The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work. The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and

placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work.”

Operators also can select from three power modes — power, standard and economy — to match power and efficiency to the job at hand.

The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom for enhanced reach and versatility, a front bucket rest and a rear dozer blade. It also is equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference, according to Hyundai.

Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs.

Additional standard features include an 8-in. touchscreen display, long-life brakes and five years of Hyundai’s proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.

Vargas said that the HW100As will be available through Hyundai dealers in the second quarter of 2025. 

John Deere Enters New Era With P-Tier Midsize Excavators

John Deere has debuted its new generation P-Tier midsize excavators.

Redesigned, developed and tested in-house, this lineup goes all in to deliver the most advanced John Deere excavators yet, according to John Deere.

Launching with the 210, 230 and 260 P-Tier models in the 20-ton class, the new generation sets a standard for jobsite performance, operator experience, features and technology, according to John Deere.

“Backed by decades of excavator expertise, our new generation of John Deere excavators have been redesigned from the ground up. The result is a connected, intentionally designed portfolio that will be a game changer for customers,” said Justin Steger, product marketing manager of John Deere. “Every component, from the undercarriage and hydraulics to the cab layout, is designed using feedback from the dedicated customer test pilots that participated in this journey with us. With their support, we are able to deliver the power, precision and performance our operators rely on every day."

During the development and design process, each new model was tested in real-world applications with participation from hundreds of customers and operators, resulting in more than 165,000 operating hours and counting. With real operator insights at the forefront of design, the new P-Tier excavator models enable optimal jobsite confidence while delivering advanced performance and capability, according to John Deere.

Enhancing Performance

The new P-Tier models offer powerful hydraulics and design enhancements for improved performance. The combination of structures, hydraulics and integrated technology is optimized to support a balance of performance and total cost of ownership, according to John Deere.

Featuring increased dig force and lift capacity, the new P-Tier excavators offer power and performance for trenching, grading, craning and truck loading while refined hydraulic tuning enables fast, smooth cycle times. Performance modes, including dig,

lift and eco, help match job site power and manage fuel usage, according to John Deere.

Operators also can adjust the hydraulic response with speed and control modes, allowing users to match the performance of the machine to the response rates they choose, based on operator preference or applications the machine is working in.

Operator Comfort, Safety

The 210, 230 and 260 P-Tier models boast more than 27 in. of legroom, added storage, ten points of seat adjustability and tool-free armrest and joystick modifications. The new G5 Plus 12.8-in. display provides an intuitive touchscreen for monitoring machine health, managing attachments and viewing camera feeds, in full or split screen mode. Blending the sealed switch module (SSM) with all other controls into one location, operators have the option to adjust settings by using the new CommandARM for flexibility. Each feature is designed to boost productivity and scale with customers as their needs evolve. With connectivity like remote display access (RDA) for remote viewing, integrated grade control, cameras and sensors give operators near real-time information. Whether it’s remotely adjusting settings, reviewing equipment diagnostics or troubleshooting equipment on the job, RDA enables customers to quickly find resolutions to help maximize uptime — without a subscription, according to John Deere.

The new remote display control (RDC) allows customers, customer-approved dealers and third parties to remotely navigate the monitor and adjust settings as if they were in the cab — streamlining troubleshooting, training and machine setup. Machine damage avoidance and virtual fences help protect the machine and surroundings by defining job site limits above, below and around the excavator. Optional advanced vision and object detection systems further enhance visibility and job site awareness, according to John Deere.

Additional optional advanced safety and support features include

fully integrated cameras with surround-view intuitive displays, and smart sensors that provide operators with critical information. This helps operators get their work done efficiently and with confidence that they’re in control.

Advancing Technology

Enabling ease of operations, new EZ Control technology simplifies the control of the boom, arm and bucket for underground work, making lifting and craning smoother and more intuitive for operators. Attachment manager technology, now available on 20ton models, provides easy setup, calibration tracking and customizable settings for up to 20 attachments, keeping productivity high and operations accurate, according to John Deere. This solution also ensures each attachment is properly configured for performance for features like grade control, virtual fences, machine damage avoidance and SmartWeigh.

SmartWeigh delivers dynamic weighing, accuracy and easy calibration without needing a known weight, as the machine uses sensors and technology to calibrate and maintain accuracy.

The new auto laser catch feature, part of the new John Deere 2D grade control system, assists the operator as the laser catcher on the machine breaks the plane of the rotating laser on the job site. There is no need to stop and press a button on the joystick to maintain a vertical reference, enhancing the productivity advantages and usability for the operator, according to John Deere.

All P-Tier midsize John Deere excavators offer 2D Grade Control that is upgradeable to the optional full 3D SmartGrade with either Topcon or Leica giving customers the flexibility to match their grade control needs.

Dealer Support

The new generation of John Deere excavators is backed by John Deere’s authorized dealer network, including their certified technicians, and ready access to genuine parts.

Ky. Riverports Receive $2.3M Funding

On Jan. 13, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced funding to enhance Kentucky’s riverports and increase economic opportunities, efficiency and connectivity for Kentucky industries. More than $2.3 million in awards will benefit eight projects at six of Kentucky’s public riverports.

“Kentucky’s riverports are critical economic engines that connect us to national and global markets,” said Beshear. “These awards invest in port efficiency with new equipment and further develop operations at riverports to help our businesses compete and grow.”

Kentucky Public Riverport Construction and Maintenance (KPRCM) program funding invests $7.5 million per fiscal year to improve riverport facilities and infrastructure for new construction, major replacement or repair projects. This round of awards, administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, supports eight projects at six of Kentucky’s public riverports.

The Paducah-McCracken County Riverport Authority received two awards totaling $730,000. A $520,000 project will replace a deteriorating scale house with a new 1,366sq.-ft. building, and $210,000 will replace a fertilizer conveyor system. The scale building is critical to bulk yard operations, which account for approximately 55 percent of revenue.

The Eddyville Riverport and Industrial Development Authority was awarded nearly $460,000 for a project to replace and modernize an undersized and aging building. The new facility will support its expanded boat-repair operations and enable more efficient use of the port’s lift.

The Hickman Fulton County Riverport Authority award of nearly $354,000 will go toward the purchase, engineering and installation of a new, safer, and more efficient barge-moving system.

The Henderson County Riverport Authority will receive more than $320,000 to replace a mobile conveyor system with a new electric material handler.

A $250,000 award will go to the Western Kentucky Regional Riverport Authority to excavate Fort Jefferson to develop a new 19-acre inland riverport.

The Owensboro Riverport Authority won two awards totaling more than $200,000 to purchase a new yard tractor and a new forklift. The acquisition will modernize its warehouse and improve loading and unloading operations.

Collectively, the projects modernize equipment, expand capacity and improve safety across Kentucky’s riverport system, strengthening the state’s role in regional and national freight movement.

“Team Kentucky is focused on strategic, targeted multimodal investments that improve how goods move across our commonwealth,” said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. “These enhancements are vital for commercial and industrial users who rely on strong and efficient riverports.”

This is the final round of KPRCM grants to be announced before the next budget is set this legislative session. The funding comes from a grant program established by the 2024 General Assembly and approved by Beshear.

To date, Beshear has awarded $12.7 million for 17 projects through the new program. 

Crews Build Up Auxiliary Spillway, Prep for Embankment

concrete with the soil and water back into it to create a wall. That’s a pretty unique situation in Edenville because we’ve got an embankment that’s close to a mile long. So that specialized trencher was the most effective way to put in the new I wall, as opposed to driving sheet pile.”

To date, crews have demolished the Edenville powerhouse and installed cofferdams at the Tittabawassee River. Fisher Contracting has the contract for the earth work and assisting Spence Brothers with the construction management. Fisher crews also have done the dirt work to build up the Tobacco auxiliary spillway in preparation for building the embankment, followed by the spillway.

They’ve done a significant amount of the backfill ... it’s basically a hill that they’re building out of stone, said Shane Willis, Spence Brothers project director. “Then, on top of that, Spence Brothers will be placing concrete to protect that stone so that it can’t wash out in a flood. Soil anchors have been installed at the downstream side of that.”

The main challenges on the Edenville Dam stem from its size, as well as the Tobacco River, Willis said. Within the 1-mi. length of the dam are three primary work areas.

“It’s a lot to manage from the perspective of our superintendent and quality control manager,” Willis said. “It definitely has its challenges, just making sure that you’re keeping tabs, because at one point we’re going to have significant work activities happening at all three of those spillways.”

The second major challenge comes from the fact that there is no place to redirect the Tobacco River which means the river will continue flowing through the existing spillway even as crews rebuild it. Significant coffer damming has to be put in place to keep our work area and our workers safe — and mostly dry — while the river is literally flowing right on the other side of the cofferdam,” Willis said.

The includes concrete demolition, earthwork and custom concrete work, followed by the installation of gates, structural steel and

the ancillary parts that allow the spillways to function, Willis said.

McIntyre said that crews can only work on about half the spillway at any given time. “The coffers dam it off and create a dry space and you do your work. Then, when that’s complete, you flip it over and work on the other side with new cofferdams. Those are pretty significant. On the upper dams, you’re talking 15, 20, 25 feet of water that you’re holding back and working behind.”

Equipment Mobilization On Edenville Dam

• SCB (soil-cement-bentonite)

wall installation equipment: one MT2000 trencher (2,000 hp, 220,000 lbs.) and one MT 3500 trencher (3,500 hp, 400,000 lbs.)

• three Caterpillar excavators

• one skid steer

• boom lifts

• cement and bentonite trucks

• pumps, piping

• 20 semi-load delivery trucks

The Four Lakes Task Force received a $9.8 million grant from the state of Michigan for the restoration project. That is in addition to other state grants including $15 million in 2020 for prerestoration work and $200 million in 2022. Work on the other three dams continues with each at differ-

ent stages and scheduled completion dates.

The $90 million Sanford Dam was the first completed, with commissioning of the six crest gates in

late 2025. The “most downstream” of the four dams features the largest spillway of the four locations, Willis said.

“What’s unique is that instead of traditionally installed concrete, roller compacted concrete was utilized on the auxiliary spillway, and it’s the only site out of the four dams using roller compacted concrete.”

Unlike traditional concrete in which concrete is poured into forms, roller compacted concrete is placed and handled more like earthwork, Willis said.

“It’s mixed, placed onto an offroad truck, hauled out to the location, dumped directly on the ground and moved with dozers and excavators. And then, immediately, you’ve got a roller compacting it. It’s very similar to a new earthwork operation versus a traditional concrete.

“It’s not a new technology in the industry, but for Spence Brothers in particular, and Fisher Contracting, just placing it was a new a new thing for us. It’s definitely a unique characteristic of Sanford and it’s going well.”

Work on the $67.2 million

restoration Secord Dam project also has been focused largely on concrete work in recent months. The dam controls water on the Secord Lake and is about 41 mi. upstream of the city of Midland.

“The cofferdams up there are pretty significant from a height perspective,” McIntyre said. “You’re holding back much more water there, at least from a depth perspective.”

Like Secord, the $50.2 million Smallwood Dam project requires significantly high cofferdams. The dam is located on the Tittabawassee River, about 18 mi. northwest of Midland. Crews recently installed the upstream cofferdam and have begun the dewatering process. They are pouring the primary spillway steps and the training wall in bay 2. Other concrete work includes installing soil anchors for the baffle blocks and lower slab of the spillway.

Completion dates on the four dams vary. In addition to Sanford’s December completion, Smallwood is scheduled to be finished in June 2026; Secord, September 2026 and Edenville, September 2027.  CEG

BOMAG’s BP Series Compactors Have Range of Applications

BOMAG’s new BP Series of single direction vibratory plate compactors are built to deliver durability and compaction results across a range of applications from soil and paver block to asphalt construction and paving, according to BOMAG.

The new line consists of six gas engine models — BP 10/30, BP 12/35, BP 12/50, BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50 — offering compaction widths from 12.6 in. to 19.7 in. An additional cyclone filter on BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50 models precleans intake air to reduce the amount of dust reaching the main filter to increase the engine’s service life.

At the heart of their design, the exciter housing is cast into the base plate to minimize vibration-induced wear and eliminate the risk of screws loosening.

BOMAG exciters are maintenance free to increase compactor uptime. Bar guards safeguard compactor components from damage at the job site or during transport and incorporate a lifting handle for easier loading.

The vibration system’s V-belt guard features an all-round enclosed design to minimize repairs and protect the operator from injury. The plates’ ergonomic design

incorporates directly accessible service points to minimize downtime.

While delivering high compaction forces on sand, gravel and mixed, non-cohesive soils, these single direction plates are easy on the operator. The guide handle offers maneuverability right up to walls and directly on foundations.

Large rubber vibration isolator blocks deliver low hand/arm vibration feedback — below 16.4 sq. ft. — to the operator to ensure fatigue-free operation. When it’s time to leave the job site, the handle quickly folds without tools to take up less room for transport.

Versatility

The new BOMAG BP Series is flexibly designed to compact a wide range of materials. For asphalt applications, contractors can equip the machine with a BOMAG’s spray bar kit, featuring a large capacity tank with wide opening for easy filling. The kit sprays water directly across the entire plate width, preventing asphalt material from sticking to the plate and damaging the surface. For landscaping applications, all models can be equipped with BOMAG’s wear-resistant polyurethane mats. Easy to install, the mats prevent marks on paving stones and reduce the risk of breakage. They deliver particularly gentle compaction of concrete paving stones, especially those with a coated surface.

In addition to transport handles, compact dimensions and a foldable guide handle, the new BP series can be customized with BOMAG transport wheels to help move about the site or from site to site. The wheels fold up and out of the way when the compactor is in use. For more information, visit bomag.com/us-en.

Vögele Pavers Can Handle Extreme Requirements On Asphalt, Paving Jobs

Whenever the town of Brno is mentioned, motor racing fans get excited.

Races have been held here since 1930. After a few rather subdued years, the course is now back to its former glory. Both the infrastructure and the carriageway have been renovated. Riders are enthused about the special asphalt, made in a Benninghoven plant and paved by three Vögele pavers and material feeders.

International race tracks have particularly stringent requirements for evenness, grip and a homogeneous texture, amongst other factors. Maximum grip and consistent evenness are key — as is the safety of riders travelling at speeds of around 200 mph. All 3.35 mi. of the Masaryk Circuit were resurfaced: three Vögele pavers and material feeders paved a 1-in. thick level-regulating course and a 1.6-in. thick surface course across an average width of 49 ft. — on the Start/Finish straights, this width increased to as much as 56 ft.

Stringent Requirements, Little Time

Apart from the precise specifications for both asphalt material and paving process, the paving team managed by David Tejkal, construction manager of general contractor Strabag a.s., faced another challenge.

“We had a strict deadline,” he said. “The track had to be handed over two months before the Grand Prix.” This meant a very short preparation period of just four weeks. The team could only work during the day, So 50 workers and 5 engineers were on site each day. “The tight schedule demanded precise coordination between all those involved — as well as utterly reliable, high-performance machinery,” said Tejkal.

Special Asphalt Material

The first task was to find the perfect asphalt material to deliver the ideal carriageway surface: better grip, faster, safer. Consulting engineers Hart Consult drafted a resurfacing concept for the track.

“Among other things, we drafted project-specific specifications for all raw materials, asphalt composition, processes and quality assurance which were also agreed with FIM, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (International Motorcycling Federation) and we monitored the implementation of those specifications on site,” said Mario Peiker, managing director and technical director of Hart Consult International GmbH. Any deviation from these specifications would potentially impact performance and safety. The special asphalt was produced in a Benninghoven BA 4000 asphalt mixing plant from Brnenska Obalovna/Strabag.

Smart Weighing System for Consistent Asphalt Quality

The smart weighing system from Benninghoven proved ideal for this project. It has no sensors and teaches itself to dose at maximum efficiency and to minimum tolerances — even under varying conditions such as fluctuating temperatures or differing proportions of white mineral. The system reacts to the flow of material in real time, creating the conditions for managing the formula precisely — something which would be almost impossible using conventional methods. This renders the smart weighing system valuable wher-

ever extremely low formula tolerances are required — such as in this project, where any deviation from the specifications would have an impact on performance and safety.

In order to be able to use the smart weighing system, however, the first step was to integrate the latest version of the mixing plant control system, BLS 4 from Benninghoven in the existing BA 4000 from Brnenska Obalovna. This control unit conversion also was completed in double-quick time as a result of close collaboration between Benninghoven, Hart Consult and Strabag.

“It was really impressive to see how the new control software benefitted production precision. As we reduced production tolerances by almost 50 percent compared to national standards, these specifications could only be maintained using a perfectly calibrated mixing plant,” said Peiker.

Even Flow of Material, Seamless Paving

The special asphalt had to be paved without interruptions and without any loss of temperature in order to satisfy the stringent quality requirements. This was taken care of by precisely harmonied logistics: thermally-insulated trucks delivered the material straight to three Vögele MT 3000-2i standard type material feeders. They took on the load in the shortest possible time and continuously conveyed material to the Vögele pavers. In the process, the sensor-controlled conveyor belt heating of the material feeders ensured that the asphalt arrived at the pavers without any heat loss.

Paving itself was implemented by the hot-to-hot method to achieve a seamless surface, otherwise the high shear forces on the race track would very soon force open any joints. Three pavers of the Super 1800-3i type worked on parallel carriageways with a slight offset — across the full carriageway width of 49 ft. to 56 ft. Hot-to-hot paving ensured optimum bonding and a water-impermeable, stable and durable carriageway surface.

System of Sensors Ensures Maximum Evenness

To ensure precision maintenance of longitudinal evenness, the team used the Niveltronic Plus system for automated grade and slope control in combination with the Big MultiPlex Ski. Three multi-cell sonic sensors were fitted to the brackets to scan the roadbase of the level-regulating course and the surface course at several points simultaneously. The system for automated grade and slope control used these measurements to calculate an average value over the entire measuring range, compensating even extended irregularities. The AB 500 TV extending screed (with tamper and vibrators as compacting systems) secured a high degree of precompaction, leading to a high-quality surface. The result was a homogeneous, even asphalt surface course with the optimum texture — ideal for a race track.

On Time Completion

Despite the challenging schedule, this project was completed on time. In just four weeks, a total of around 14,000 tons of asphalt material were paved at Brno Circuit. The whole track was inspected and approved by the authorities, So motor racing fans can once again look forward to lots of great racing in Brno.

Build America Updates Complex Product Requirements

Lane Kimble, director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, said FHWA had used its waiver authority since 1983. The waiver exempted a wide range of materials used on federal aid highway projects, including electronics, ITS hardware and electrical equipment. It also exempted other items, including signal boxes and pumps, from provisions mandating they be produced domestically.

“Manufactured construction products will need to be built in the United States and be made of at least 55 percent U.S.-made components,” said Kimble. “President Trump and the USDOT initially put the rule change on hold last year for review.”

ARTBA noted that removing the waiver, though well-intentioned, could cost the transportation construction industry $8.5 billion over the next decade.

Sean McMaster, FHWA administrator, told ARTBA members he wants to ensure Buy America requirements do not delay projects. But, McMaster told the association’s executive committee, waivers must be “limited, strategic and temporary.”

ARTBA announced the waiver phases out with federal aid projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2025, for which final product assembly must take place in the United States.

“The Q&A document does not detail new policies,” the association said in its announcement to members. It said the document “simply clarifies how FHWA intends to interpret and implement the revised Buy America standards in this area.”

Those revisions now include product classification and transition timelines, said the group, adding it is in regular contact with FHWA on the issue.

Longstanding Manufactured Product Exemption

In early 2024, FHWA released a proposal to roll back the waiver exempting manufactured products from Buy-America rules on federal aid highway projects.

ARTBA reported then that FHWA called it a step toward boosting domestic manufacturing, bolstering critical supply chains and supporting creation of union jobs.

The agency solicited comments on the implications of its proposal for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

“FHWA proposes requiring that domestic content of manufactured products exceeds 55 percent, as measured by the cost of their components,” said ARTBA. “In justifying the proposed change, the agency repeatedly cites domestic manufacturing as a policy priority for the White House and Congress.”

The agency’s plan was to pursue targeted waivers for specific manufactured products to minimize costs and delays.

ARTBA said the industry supported the waiver because it would be costly, and perhaps impossible, to ensure many materials were Buy America-compliant.

In a 2023 survey co-sponsored by ARTBA, two-thirds of contractors believed a change in the waiver would cause a major effect on their operations. These effects would require “significant additional time and costs to document and certify countless components within these items,” said the group.

ARTBA noted then that the IIJA maintained Buy America coverage for iron, steel and manufactured products while expanding it to construction materials.

“The law also requires periodic reviews of waivers like this one,” the association said in explaining the rollback to members.

In its Q&A section explaining the changes to the Manufactured Products Final Rule, FHWA outlines updates to several material-specific requirements.

It said the final rule clarifies what kinds of products are subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for steel and iron versus manufactured products.

For projects obligated on or after March 20, 2025, recipients of funds must classify products based on the definitions in the code. These definitions stand “regardless of any previous methods used to differentiate these two categories,” said the agency.

tured products or construction materials.”

The agency also said the cost of the foreign iron or steel product is only the cost of the foreign iron or steel in the product.

If an iron or steel product contains noniron/steel components, recipients should use just the cost of the individual foreign iron or steel components.

For projects obligated between March 20, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2025, the waiver applies to manufactured products permanently incorporated in such projects.

“For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2025, all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.”

For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2026, all manufactured products in the project must meet the final assembly requirement.

The rule states kits should be distinguished from systems consisting of interconnected individual components that together achieve a broad function.

“If a kit meets the definition of manufactured product … it should be classified as a single manufactured product,” according to the update. “Individual components of the kit should not be classified as separate manufactured products, even though they may be brought to the work site separately.”

FHWA said kits classified as manufactured products must meet Buy America requirements that apply to manufactured products.

“The manufacturer … should be considered the entity that performs the final manufacturing process that produces the kit”

An FHWA document consisting of questions and answers about the new rule clarifies how the agency intends to interpret and implement the revised Buy America standards related to product classification and transition timelines.

FHWA said the new manufactured products rules are “generally” the same as those under the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act.

“However, the application of FHWA’s Buy America requirements may differ from the application of BABA’s requirements,” it added.

For example, BABA applies only to infrastructure projects, said the transportation agency. That’s any work related to the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of infrastructure regardless of whether it also is the primary purpose of the project.

“FHWA’s Buy America requirements apply to all projects funded with Title 23 funds, even those not generally considered to be infrastructure projects,” it said. “FHWA’s Buy America requirements also provide distinctions for certain manufactured products not included in the BABA requirements.”

The agency said Buy America rules do not apply to the non-iron or non-steel components of an iron or steel product.

Under the rule, a product can be classified as an iron or steel product even if it contains non-iron or non-steel components.

Plus, the cost of components that are mined, produced or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components.

Under the rule, specific requirements apply to precast concrete products, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and other electronic hardware systems products installed in the highway right-of-way

“For such precast concrete products, components that consist ‘predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both’ must meet FHWA’s requirements for iron and steel.”

ITS cabinets or other enclosures that consist “predominantly of iron or steel or a combination” must meet requirements for steel and iron.

“These iron or steel component requirements apply to all projects, regardless of when they are obligated,” said the agency.

These specified manufactured products also must meet the applicable requirements for manufactured products.

On or after Oct. 1, 2026, the cost of predominantly iron or steel components will count toward the 55 percent requirement, according to FHWA.

The rule stipulates that this manufacturer is not the contractor that manufactures or assembles the on the work site.

“To comply with the final assembly requirement, the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components must be in the United States.”

However, a kit may be classified as a manufactured product even if its components are brought to the site separately or at different times. In applying the 55 percent requirement, the rule refers to “transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the manufactured product.’”

However, the place of incorporation for kits should be considered the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components.

The rule states, “it should not be read to refer to the transportation cost of the kit’s components to the work site.”

Excluded materials are cement and cementitious materials, aggregates or aggregate binding agents or additives, according to the update.

“Excluded materials are not subject to any applicable Buy America standard … if delivered to the project site on their own or in combination with other excluded materials.”

Excluded material mixtures delivered to the work site without final for incorporation must not be classified as manufactured products.

Also, these mixtures are not subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for manufactured products, according to the agency.

“In such a case, the Buy America requirements for steel and iron … apply to such products, not the requirements for manufac-

Kits must be acquired from one manufacturer or supplier as separate components from those assembled or installed to form a single product at the work site.

For mixtures combined with a nonexcluded material and processed into a specific shape or form, the result is to be classified the same as any other material.

This stands “regardless of the fact that one of its components is an excluded material,” according to FHWA.  CEG BUILD from page 1

Volvo CE Touts High Earnings to End Fiscal Year 2025

Volvo CE closed 2025 with strong momentum, delivering growth across both machines and services with order intake rising by 18 percent in Q4. The results further demonstrate the company’s continued transformation toward becoming a total solutions provider.

During the last quarter, the total machine market grew compared to the prior year. Europe, South America, Africa and Oceania, China and North America grew while Asia contracted.

In Q4 2025, net sales decreased by 16 percent to $2.11 billion, of which net sales of machines increased by 13 percent and service sales by 8 percent. Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to $293.45 million, corresponding to an operating margin of 13.9 percent.

Compared with Q4 2024, a positive product and market mix and an improved service business were partly offset by lower volumes and increased United States tariff costs. Currency movements had a negative impact of $73.73 million. For the full year 2025, net sales amounted to $9.22 billion. Adjusted operating income amounted to $1.22 billion, corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 13.3 percent.

momentum and a clear focus on driving the industry’s transformation forward.”

Volvo photo Volvo CE confirmed Eskilstuna as the location for its new crawler excavator assembly plant.

In the quarter, Volvo CE maintained strong performance and stability despite uncertain market conditions.

“This has been a positive quarter, driven by increased sales of recently launched products and higher revenue from our services business,” said Melker Jernberg, head of Volvo CE. “Customer response to our new equipment has been strong across key markets, while our solutions offerings continue to gain traction. We enter the new year with solid

In Q4, Volvo CE confirmed Eskilstuna, Sweden, as the location for its new crawler excavator assembly plant serving European markets. The 98,4000-sq.-ft. facility will strengthen Volvo CE’s position in the key excavator segment by increasing capacity and flexibility to meet growing regional demand.

Volvo CE continued the rollout of its new range of electric models, with the first L120 electric wheel loaders delivered to customers in selected European and Asian markets.

In December, Volvo CE participated in the ExCon 2025 construction equipment show in India, where the company showcased a portfolio of products and services aimed at sup-

VMAC announced that Tommy Rorex has joined the VMAC sales team as a national sales representative serving Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

Rorex has more than 25 years of sales and management experience across the transportation, heavy equipment and waste industries, further strengthening VMAC’s commitment to supporting mobile air compressor and multi-power system customers.

In his new role, Rorex will help fleet managers, upfitters, dealers and service professionals identify the right VMAC systems for their operations. His deep industry experience, com-

bined with VMAC’s reputation, positions Rorex to drive sales growth and deepen customer relationships.

“Having a seasoned sales professional like Tommy on our team reflects VMAC’s forward momentum and dedication to the markets that matter most to our customers,” said Jim Raymond, VMAC sales manager.

porting the next phase of growth in construction, mining and material handling.

Following the European Commission’s approval of Volvo CE’s planned acquisition of Swecon, the transaction is now in its final stages. Closing of the previously announced acquisition is expected on January 31, 2026.

Market Development

The total market in Europe continued to grow in Q4, with support from major markets like Germany, United Kingdom and France, on the back of a more positive business outlook in general.

The North American market grew slightly in Q4 as the United States economy had a development that was better than expectations in the second half of 2025.

Market growth in South America was driven by a rebound in Chile, Argentina and Colombia. The Chinese market continued to grow, though at a slower pace, supported by governmental policies to stimulate the real estate sector and investments in farmland transformation. These mainly drive demand for smaller machines.

Asia, excluding China, registered a modest growth, despite a decline in Japan. There was continued growth in Indonesia, driven by investments in infrastructure and food estate projects and a stable mining industry, as well as growth in Southeast Asia. The markets in Middle East, Australia and Turkey grew, while India was down, mainly for large machines.
