Volvo A45G Performance Sharjah | Specs & Fuel Efficiency Guide UAE
Explore Volvo A45G dump truck performance in Sharjah UAE. Compare payload, torque & fuel use vs CAT 745 and Bell B45E for quarry and port projects.
Sharjahβs manufacturing and logistics boom β from cement production to coastal land-reclamation β requires heavy-duty haulers that deliver consistent efficiency in hot, humid Gulf conditions.
The Volvo A45G, with its 45-ton payload and world-class drivetrain, offers exceptional traction, fuel economy, and operator comfort, outperforming many rivals such as CAT 745 and Bell B45E across Sharjahβs industrial zones and port complexes.
This analysis compares the A45Gβs specifications, fuel consumption, productivity, and serviceability under real-world UAE conditions.

Result: A45G equals CATβs torque but consumes β 10 % less fuel and doubles service-interval efficiency vs Bell B45E β ideal for Sharjahβs continuous-shift quarry and port operations.
Real-world telematics from Sharjah quarries show:
At diesel β AED 3.14/L, fuel cost β 72 AED/h, delivering the lowest cost per ton in its class (β 0.08 USD/t).
Dynamic Drive & Eco Mode reduce engine RPM on downhill runs, saving β 2 L/h or USD 900/year.
Sharjahβs mixture of hard aggregate and soft coastal fill demands maximum traction.
The A45Gβs automatic traction control engages on slip only, reducing tire wear and fuel loss.
Field Result (Khor Fakkan Yard Route):
Metric | A45G | CAT 745 |
---|---|---|
Avg Speed Loaded | 38 km/h | 34 km/h |
Fuel per Cycle | 3.4 L | 3.9 L |
Material Moved per Hour | β 280 t | β 245 t |
β‘ Outcome: A45G moves β 14 % more material per hour than CAT 745 on identical haul profiles.
Sharjah temps often exceed 48 Β°C. The A45Gβs dual-fan cooling and variable-flow radiator maintain engine stability without power derating.
No overheating was observed in 10-hour continuous tests at Hamriyah Free Zone.
Result = longer safe shifts and higher throughput for Sharjah contractors.
