Volvo Construction Equipment continues to position the A25G as the anchor of its articulated hauler lineup - a 25,000-kg (55,000-lb) payload machine with a 15.3 m³ SAE 2:1 heap body volume, gross weight of 47,350 kg, and an 11-liter Volvo D11M six-cylinder straight VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharged) diesel engine delivering maximum gross power of 235 kW and maximum SAE J1349 gross torque of 2,040 Nm. The A25G is designed for mining, quarry, and construction hauling where payload-per-cycle on rough, narrow, and often unpaved haul roads determines fleet productivity - and where the machine must handle rock impact, steep grades, and uneven ground without sustaining structural damage.
The machine's defining engineering feature is the "100 percent maintenance-free rear suspension" - a straddle-mounted bogie beam with independent wheel movement via a 3-point mounting system that isolates the hauler's rear frame from ground-induced shock loads without requiring periodic suspension lubrication or spring replacement. Combined with "front suspension: gas-hydraulic struts" delivering soft, progressive response, the A25G maintains predictable wheel contact across uneven haul roads, reducing body impact loads, improving operator comfort, and extending structural fatigue life across the hauler's frame. The "automatic traction control with 100 percent differential locks" and "all-terrain bogie" provide predictable traction on soft, muddy, and steep haul roads, while "hydro-mechanical steering" delivers consistent steering response independent of load conditions.
The A25G incorporates a comprehensive operator-assistance and safety suite including cruise control, hill assist, dump support system, load and dump brake, and a downhill speed control function that automatically maintains a constant speed when operating on downward gradients - reducing brake wear and improving haul-road safety on long descents. A "built-in brake test" function allows operators to schedule and perform a stationary brake test guided by the machine's display, supporting fleet-level brake-performance documentation without external test equipment. Combined with Volvo CareTrack and ActiveCare Direct telematics for remote fleet monitoring, a lifetime frame and structure warranty, 24-hour parts delivery guarantee, and Volvo Site Simulation service for optimizing fleet configuration, the A25G positions itself as a direct competitor to the Caterpillar 730, Komatsu HM300, and Bell B25E in the global 25-ton articulated hauler segment.
