This year, under the theme “Power Your Ambition,” Volvo Penta aims to show that wherever and whatever you are building, it can support with a growing portfolio of advanced, fit-for-purpose products and services developed in close collaboration with customers in mining, construction and power generation.

From fuel-efficient internal combustion engines and battery-electric drivelines to battery systems for energy storage and engines running on alternative fuels such as natural gas and renewable diesel, the company continues to address the industry’s evolving needs with versatile solutions designed to maximize uptime, performance, productivity and long-term value.

Visitors to booth #S80215 in South Hall 2nd Level, at the Las Vegas Convention Center between March 3-7, will learn how Volvo Penta, backed by proven Volvo Group technology, supports construction sites worldwide as a trusted power partner for equipment operating in the most demanding conditions.

Powering the digital future

On display will be the recently introduced G17 natural gas engine, operating on both pipeline-quality, conventional natural gas and renewable natural gas, and designed to deliver dependable performance that scales with the demands of high-growth sectors such as data centers.

With global data center construction projected to increase sixfold by 2027, demand is rising both for robust construction-site power and for dependable backup power once facilities are operational. Volvo Penta plays a key role across this lifecycle, supporting the data center construction boom by powering equipment such as excavators and mobile power units used in rental fleets, while also strengthening its position as a trusted provider of data center backup power. Leveraging a broad portfolio that includes Tier 4 Final/Stage V-certified engines, natural gas solutions, renewable fuel compatibility and battery-based energy storage systems, Volvo Penta helps enable the rapid expansion of mission-critical digital infrastructure.

“Reliable power is critical in every aspect for a data center, from building the facility to keeping it online,” says Anna Müller, President of Volvo Penta and member of Volvo Group management. “Volvo Penta systems deliver the heavy‑duty performance, fuel efficiency and reliability required for high‑demand construction environments, while also reinforcing our role as a trusted provider of data center backup power.”

Your partner for today and tomorrow

CONEXPO 2026 will also be an opportunity for Volvo Penta to highlight its customer-focused approach to the energy transition, meeting customized needs for today and tomorrow. A new, interactive digital table will provide an expanded view into the Volvo Penta power ecosystem, illustrating how its technologies are integrated to support a wide range of customer applications.

An example of this approach, says Anna, is Volvo Penta’s success in the underground mining industry.

“By working closely with OEMs, we deliver power‑dense, low‑emissions, fully certified solutions that maximize uptime and productivity. In just 15 years, this focus has earned us approximately 30% of the available global market share.”

A full lifecycle of performance

Being driven by uptime means that Volvo Penta’s commitment extends beyond being an engine supplier. CONEXPO attendees can learn about the company’s commitment to industrial services and solutions, working closely with OEMs and operators from engineering and integration through aftermarket support and a global service network, for a full lifecycle of end-to-end support.

A connectivity display will demonstrate how Volvo Penta Connect gives customers and fleet owners data-driven performance monitoring and maintenance planning access, guiding users to smarter decisions for optimal performance and care.

At CONEXPO, Volvo Penta will reinforce its role as a driving force behind construction productivity across the globe, wherever the work takes place, from quarries and aggregates operations to underground mining and large-scale infrastructure projects. The company will participate along with Volvo Group sister companies Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Financial Services, reinforcing the Group’s collective drive to partner with businesses on their journey and find customized solutions that power their ambitions.
