The LEGO Technic Volvo L350F Wheel Loader is the latest collaboration piece from LEGO and the automobile brand. This unique partnership has been documented in a brand new behind-the-scenes video.
The video shows the lengths the world’s largest toy maker’s design team were prepared to go to in order to perfect the EGO Technic Volvo L350F Wheel Loader.
"We tried to make it as realistic as possible, so it drives, steers and lifts the load just like the real thing," says Jensen. "You can also remove the oil filters, the radiator-door swings out, pistons move and the engine is painted green, just like in the real thing."
The meticulously detailed and fully remote control Volvo model LEGO 42030 is available from LEGO Shop and all participating retailers.
