LEGO Technic 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader – Small but dense [Review]

Volvo has been on the forefront of creating hybrid and electric vehicles lately, and their construction equipment is no exception. In 2024, the company brought its new electric wheel loader to market, boasting a massive 20-metric-ton weight and a 6-metric-ton lift capacity, with two motors for propulsion and one for the hydraulics. As a company known for its own innovation, it’s only natural that LEGO would be interested in recreating the vehicle. And with that, LEGO Technic 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader was born, albeit a tiny fraction of the size. This 973-piece model will be available starting June 1st, retailing for US $119.99 | CAN $139.99 | UK £89.99. Join us as we build and test out the play features!

A mini Hitachi wheel loader

There are a handful of builders out there that are experts at recreating vehicles in LEGO form. We’re talking highly detailed, true-to-life replicas. One of those experts is Damian Z. and his most recent build is this Hitachi ZW180PL. I have to be honest, I recognize Hitachi, but that nomenclature doesn’t ring a single bell. But what I do know is that I’m positive I’ve seen this exact piece of machinery before. And when you look at the real thing, this little guy is spot on.
