[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Volvo Group Korea announced on the 22nd that it has launched a technical council following a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with DL E&C (formerly Daelim Industrial's construction division) to apply smart construction equipment technology to civil engineering construction sites.

Earlier, on the 19th, a launch ceremony for the technical council was held at the Glad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. Accordingly, Volvo Construction Equipment plans to provide excavators equipped with smart solutions such as machine guidance (Dig Assist), machine control (Volvo Active Control), and telematics systems (Volvo CareTrack), all based on Volvo's 'Co-pilot' developed through digital innovation technology, to the testbed sites provided by DL E&C.

Volvo Group Korea intends to deploy intelligent construction equipment, which applies advanced automation and digital connectivity technologies already developed, to DL E&C's construction sites to contribute to improved work productivity. Additionally, they plan to identify technical demands and improvement points from on-site stakeholders, who are the actual buyers of construction equipment, and acquire new technology ideas to lead the infrastructure solutions sector actively utilizing advanced digital technologies.

Lim Jae-tak, Vice President and Head of Domestic Sales and Service at Volvo Construction Equipment, said, "The partnership with DL E&C, a major domestic construction company, marks a transition from traditional equipment-centered sales to becoming a total solution provider that meets the needs of construction companies and customers." He added, "Based on Volvo's brand values such as quality, safety, and environment, we will actively introduce smart construction technologies in Korea to lead safe and highly efficient civil engineering construction sites."
