VOLVO AT VALLEBERGET

We have recently had a successful collaboration with Volvo CE and Volvo Trucks.

In spring 2023, we built our new summer facility on Valleberget in Lindvallen, Sälen. The result were a set of brand new activities: SummerSki, Mountain Coaster and Mountain Tube. 

partners with the same goal

Before the construction, we asked Volvo if they wanted to collaborate with us on this project. The reason we asked Volvo specifically is because we are both companies that are part of the Science Based Targets initiative. This means that both SkiStar and Volvo are committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, in line with the Paris Agreement.

Volvo said yes to our enquiry and we therefore collaborated with Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and Volvo Trucks by using their electric vehicles to reduce emissions during the construction phase. More specifically, a Volvo L20 Electric wheel loader, a Volvo ECR25 Electric excavator and an electric Volvo FE truck were used in the construction process,

reduced emissions

Thanks to this collaboration, we have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1.7 tonnes and reduced energy costs by 75% over a 3.5-week measurement period. 

The project has been made possible thanks to a close collaboration between SkiStar, Volvo CE, Volvo Trucks and their respective dealers: Swecon Construction Machinery and Rolf Ericson Trucks and Buses.
