Volvo Concept Wheel Loader ZEUX
Autonomous construction machine
Dynamic, functional and the result of a unique collaboration process, the Volvo Concept Wheel Loader Zeux represents the future of autonomous construction machines. Showcasing usable aesthetics and problem-solving innovations, such as a roaming eye camera boom and drone, this ergonomic machine demonstrates how driverless vehicles can be made safe for the next generation. Multi-disciplinary teams from Volvo Construction Equipment and LEGO Technic joined forces with a focus group of children in a comprehensive design process. The result is not only an inspiring LEGO Technic play set, but a revolutionary concept for the sustainable construction machines of tomorrow.

This is more than a toy construction play set with a drone for young talents who want to improve their technical skills. Volvo and Lego have combined their professional experience to create a constructive concept for future engineers. What a great way to get the next generation interested in complex thinking while playing!
