Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, and road construction specialist Roos Groep recently announced a major milestone in their collaboration – the development of the world’s first all-electric fixed-platform concrete paver controlled by Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control solution.
The Roos Groep company, in cooperation with well-known partners, has created an environmentally friendly concrete paver that combines the most modern technologies. This machine allows you to work without fuel, paying special attention to safety and ergonomics.


Roos Groep decided to increase the productivity of its electric concrete paver by integrating the MC1 3D solution from Leica Geosystems to control the machine. The system’s features, which include dual GNSS for heading and a total station for precise altitude control, ensure millimeter accuracy and simplify installation.
Using a machine control system on a zero-emission concrete paver reduces downtime and optimizes energy efficiency, thereby maximizing environmental and productivity benefits.

In addition to Leica Geosystems, which provided the 3D machine control system, key partners were Statec,
which was engaged in design and development, Staad-Fusion – batteries, Hightide – hydraulic components, Hydrocan Engineering – automation and Degra – electro-hydraulic components. Structural elements were provided by TJP Bladel and Van de Brand Metaal,
and Ingenieursbureau Van Asseldonk provided consulting services and provided CE certification.

“Roos Groep sees a future where almost all concrete paving work will be done electrically, which will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the construction sector,” says Tom Roos, CEO of Roos Groep.
