Nors Donates a Volvo Electric Wheel Loader to Habitat for Humanity GTA to Support Sustainable Homebuilding
As the season of giving approaches, a Toronto-area heavy equipment dealer is embracing the spirit early by donating a battery-powered wheel loader to a nonprofit housing organization. Nors teamed up with Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) to deliver an L25 Electric compact wheel loader to Habitat for Humanity – Greater Toronto Area (Habitat GTA). “Our construction team is busier than we’ve ever been, with 4 projects underway and plans for nearly 200 homes in the coming years,” said Ene Underwood, CEO of Habitat GTA. “Much of our equipment is older than some of our volunteers, so we are grateful for this generous and forward-thinking donation.” The Volvo L25 Electric loader is the first electric construction machine Habitat for Humanity GTA have had, and this is the first time they have received a donation of such a major piece of equipment. It will be put to work right away on a 30-home project in Brampton. The donation marks the first of 3 planned contributions under Nors’ newly launched campaign, “Compact Solutions, Community Impact,” which aims to empower nonprofit organizations with sustainable construction equipment. “We’re proud to partner with Volvo to offer equipment that reduces emissions and noise on jobsites, helping build a better world for future generations,” said Paul George, regional vice president – Ontario at Nors. “Through this initiative, we aim to raise awareness and accelerate the adoption of electric mobility solutions across Canada, promoting both innovation and accessibility in this new era of construction.” “This machine is a great fit for Habitat projects, which often take place in residential areas where noise and air quality are major concerns,” said Agako Nouch, head of Sales Development at Volvo CE. “Volvo aspires to help build the world we want to live in, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this machine will have on the community.” Volvo CE electric machines have nearly identical specs to their diesel equivalents, allowing Habitat GTA crews to maintain productivity and efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint. Since 1988, Habitat GTA has built 26 new communities and housed more than 600 families in Toronto, Brampton, Caledon, York Region and Durham Region. They’re supported by tens of thousands of volunteers who contribute about 100,000 hours each year. Nors has operated in the Canadian construction equipment segment since 2020, employing more than 760 collaborators across 36 branches in 7 provinces.
