A decisive answer to industry demands

Overmat, a cutting-edge company in the design of screed machines, is rising to the challenge by launching the first fully electric screed system for zero-emission construction sites. This important milestone was made possible thanks to the trust of the dealer Mix Master International B.V. and the direct involvement of the end customer Vloerenbedrijf Lau Kerkhof B.V..

The goal was clear: to design and build a 4-axle screed truck from the T series, model MSA 15.5 T PTO, in a fully electric version, capable of delivering the same performance as combustion-powered models—but with a significantly lower environmental impact.

 

A successful collaboration: Overmat and Volvo Bas Truck

To bring this ambitious project to life, Overmat partnered with VOLVO Bas Truck (locations in the Netherlands and Italy), creating an automated system for mixing and pumping screed that marks a true revolution in the construction sector.

 

Key features of the Full-Electric system

  • Fully electric drive, powered by an advanced lithium battery pack and the Volvo electric chassis architecture.
  • Optimized autonomy, ensuring uninterrupted operations on the job site.
  • Direct charging: the system can pump screed even while connected to the power grid, reducing energy consumption.
  • Zero emissions, due to the absence of a combustion engine—drastically reducing both noise and air pollution.
  • Efficiency and precision, guaranteed by the automated system that ensures consistent quality, full process control, and minimal waste.
  • High performance, with pumping capacity of up to 6 m³/h, with no compromises.
  • Site-ready compatibility, designed to integrate seamlessly with modern job site charging infrastructure.

 

A paradigm shift for construction sites

This innovative screed truck is more than just a technical evolution—it represents a new operational mindset, as emphasized by Simone Piovesan, Head of the Overmat Business Unit: “This is a true shift in mentality and logistics. It’s essential to consider the vehicle’s range for both transport and on-site work, with careful planning for recharging. But the benefits in terms of sustainability and quality are crystal clear.”

 

Overmat: pushing sustainability even further

The launch of this Full-Electric system is just the latest step in a journey that Overmat began with the plug-in hybrid versions of the T series. The company is already developing new solutions, including a semi-trailer version with independent electric systems for both the vehicle and the screed unit—offering even greater flexibility and efficiency.

 

A symbol of innovation and vision

The MSA 15.5 T PTO Full-Electric is not just a new product—it’s a symbol of Overmat’s vision, as a long-standing benchmark in mobile screed production systems. These systems arrive on-site preloaded with all necessary materials, precisely dosed via an on-board computer, and ensure a consistent, certifiable, and waste-free screed production.

“With this new model,” concludes Piovesan, “Overmat once again proves its ability to align with market trends, proactively addressing customer needs while meeting international regulations.”

Overmat continues to lead the way in the construction industry, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and active listening, to consistently deliver the best to its customers—working in synergy with the leading players on the market.
