CE Dealer Team ready for new challenge as World RX arrives in Finland
The FIA World Rallycross Championship makes its debut at Finland’s KymiRing this weekend – and for CE Dealer Team by Volvo Construction Equipment (CE Dealer Team), it marks another opportunity to combine high-performance competition with a clear purpose: to push motorsport and industry toward a more sustainable future.
The brand-new KymiRing track has been built with Volvo Construction Equipment’s (Volvo CE) latest generation of machines, including the debut of the L120 Electric wheel loader in Finland and the EC230 Electric excavator with engcon tiltrotator. As Official Track Building Partner, Volvo CE has shaped a track designed for both speed and spectacle – with flowing corners, banked turns, and jumps to test drivers and thrill fans.
More than 250 guests and media will join Volvo CE at KymiRing to witness the racing spectacle and a live showcase of how new technologies are transforming both motorsport and construction.

Drivers anticipating a true rallycross challenge
For Niclas Grönholm, Finland brings added energy: “A new track is always exciting because you start from zero. The KymiRing track looks technical but also flowing, with big features that will be a real test. Racing in Finland always gives me something extra, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Klara Andersson is equally motivated: “From what we’ve seen, this is a proper rallycross track – elevation, jumps, and wide corners that invite side-by-side racing. It’s the kind of track where you can really showcase the performance of these electric cars and give the fans a show.”
Precision preparation from the team
Behind the wheel, every detail matters. Team Engineer, Andreas Fröderberg, highlights the preparation: “With a new circuit, you’re working with a lot of unknowns. The jumps demand stability, but you also need agility through the tighter sections. It’s a balancing act in setup, and those details can be decisive in such a close season.”

More than just racing
For CE Dealer Team and its partners, the weekend is about far more than chasing race wins. From pioneering their safety programme, to showcasing high-performance electric race cars, to creating platforms where innovation can be experienced first-hand, the team is built to deliver value well beyond the track.
Bill Law, Head of Brand, Marketing and Communications at Volvo CE, explains: “We don’t invest in motorsport just to see cars go fast. World RX is a platform where we can demonstrate what’s possible with new technologies, profile electrification both on and off track, and create real value for our partners. That means showcasing our latest generation equipment in action, providing testing and demo opportunities, hosting seminars, and creating space for valuable networking. It’s about driving change – for motorsport, for construction, and for the wider industry – toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and innovative future.”
The Finland round marks the fourth stop of the 2025 season, with the championship fight still wide open. As the series breaks new ground at KymiRing, CE Dealer Team arrives focused, prepared, and ready to embrace the challenge – on track and beyond.
