European Market Premiere for Dutch Infrastructure Sector
Europe’s first fully electric highway asphalt pavers Dynapac SD25 80C e have been delivered directly from the factory. Last May, Dutch infrastructure companies infrastructure companies Mourik, Van Gelder and Heijmans put Europe’s first fully electric large asphalt pavers into operation. Never before have electric asphalt pavers of this size been delivered directly from the factory. The machines were supplied by Dynapac in cooperation with the importer Van der Spek Vianen B.V. The delivery of 3 machines, one for each construction company, marks an important step in making the Dutch infrastructure sector more sustainable. These machines are the largest possible variant of highway pavers with a laying capacity of 800 t/h and can be used for resurfacing highways. Smaller electric models, such as the electric City Paver SD1800W e designed for urban road applications, had already been available as factory-built solutions. This machine can be deployed in the major replacement and renovation projects within Dutch infrastructure, whose maintenance backlog was recently estimated at a total of €34.5 billion ($55.3 billion). Unlike previous solutions, where diesel-powered machines were retrofitted into electric versions by 3rd parties, this highway paver is the first to be purpose-built and engineered from scratch as a fully electric machine itself. This makes scaling up zero-emission equipment significantly easier. By the end of 2026, the machine will also become available to other contractors. A machine can operate on battery power for 8 to 10 hours, effectively a full working day with one charge of the 294 kWh battery. Recharging takes 40 min charging time via DC. The SD25 80C e can be charged by AC and DC standard chargers. Asphalt plays an important role in Dutch infrastructure. It forms the foundation for roads, airport runways and taxiways, and contributes to strengthening dikes. The use of electric asphalt pavers directly contributes to reducing emissions such as nitrogen oxides and CO2. In addition, this development reduces dependence on expensive fossil fuels such as diesel. This aligns with the broader ambition of all participating companies to provide environmentally friendly solutions. The development of the electric asphalt paver is the result of intensive cooperation between clients, supplier and manufacturer. In January 2024, the companies decided to collaborate. In March of that year, Heijmans, Mourik and Van Gelder jointly commissioned the factory development of the machine. In April 2025, the prototype was presented at BAUMA in Munich, after which extensive field tests and evaluations followed during the second half of 2025. Founded in 1932, Van der Spek Vianen B.V. is a leading partner in the sales, rental, and servicing of machinery for earthmoving, road construction, high-rise construction, recycling, material handling, and concrete applications. Part of the FAYAT Group, Dynapac is a leading supplier of high-tech soil and asphalt rollers, light equipment, and pavers committed to strengthening customer performance by being a partner on the road ahead. Dynapac is represented worldwide via its regional sales- and service offices and cooperates with an extensive and professional distribution network. Headquartered in Wardenburg, Germany, Dynapac has production facilities in Europe, South America and Asia.
