Why to choose Volvo

Designed for the operator

The biggest change can be seen in the cabin design and styling, with new layout and features including high-definition co-pilot screen, keyless engine start, wired and wireless smart phone charging and new work mode switch.

A valuable new addition, Volvo Smart View with Obstacle Detection delivers significant safety benefits. Operators enjoy a 360° view thanks to an improved camera system and new radar detection system which provides automatic alerts when the excavator approaches any obstacle, identifying and classifying them as an object or human, and allowing the operator to take remedial action. Three-point access guard rails and a foldable top handrail for transportation are important new safety features.

Faster cycle times and improved fuel efficiency

New electric joysticks give the operator even more control over the hydraulic system. The hydraulic pumps can be operated together as well as virtually disconnected, allowing the operator to control the boom without affecting track speed, delivering safety benefits and a smoother ride for the operator. This also increases controllability, shortens cycle times and improves fuel efficiency – delivering higher productivity and performance.

Comfort Driver Control allows the operator to move forwards, backwards and steer with the joysticks. What’s more, each operator can set up their own hydraulic settings based upon their preferences and the application they are working on and save them in Co-Pilot so they can be quickly and easily accessed for future sessions.

Increased uptime and reduced maintenance costs

Increased cooling capacity means the Volvo EC series excavator can handle the most extreme weather conditions and the excavator also benefits from longer service intervals – from 2,000 to 3,000 hours - for the hydraulic oil and filter, bringing both cost savings from reduced maintenance requirements and increased uptime. This means the customers’ machines stay out on the job site and work their best for longer and has a positive environmental impact without compromising on performance.

Manufactured at Volvo CE’s crawler excavator plant in Changwon, Korea, production of the new generalization of the excavator will begin soon and the machine will be available in select markets. Further models of this next generation excavator will follow.
