A triumphant dispatch along Avenue de Champs-Élysées

Holcim mixer circles the Arc de Triomphe, a top Paris destination behind the Eiffel Tower and Louvre.

A Putzmeister SY408C-8FRBEV model from the Holcim Ltd. mixer fleet became a SANY Group torch bearer as the equipment manufacturer rolled into Paris for the Intermat 2024 trade fair earlier this spring. Underscoring a commitment to environmental responsibility and reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry, the mixer was one of six battery electric machines the manufacturer dispatched to the event. Intermat is staged every three years in sequence with global sister shows bauma (2025, Munich) and ConExpo-Con/Agg (2026, Las Vegas).

“With the focus on ‘Globalization, Digitalization and Decarbonization,’ our mission has always been clear: To provide products and services of high quality and high reliability to our customers around the world,” says SANY Group Chairman Xiang Wenbo. “We are promoting a sustainable development front in all aspects by building a green production chain based on carbon reduction in source, process, and terminal. Currently, SANY has electric products in almost all product portfolios, and we are looking forward to bringing more to market.”
