Bauma China 2012

Together with sister brand SDLG, Volvo Construction Equipment has extended its lead at the top of the standings in wheel loader and excavators sales in China; a success supported by investments in local products, people and production.

Having invested over one billion Swedish Krona in expanding capacity and product offering in China, Volvo Construction Equipment is set to build on its market leading position by raising the bar even higher, states Pat Olney in his Bauma China address.

The L105 is the latest mid-sized wheel loader from Volvo Construction Equipment, designed specifically to meet the needs of customers in China.

Volvo Construction Equipment is partnering with the Yao Foundation, a charitable fund that promotes the all-around development of Chinese youth through education, sports, health and psychology.

A portfolio of Volvo Construction Equipment’s D-Series crawler excavators will be launched onto the Chinese market in 2013 — bringing a generation of even more powerful, productive and fuel-efficient machines to China.

Built to be larger, taller and heavier than other machines in the same weight class, the EC80D crawler excavator is also faster, delivering excellent productivity. Featuring Volvo Construction Equipment’s latest fuel-efficient engine and enhanced hydraulics, customers in China can take command with the EC80D.

A range of Volvo Construction Equipment pavers and double-drum asphalt compactors come with fuel-saving features for better-than-ever performance.

Volvo Construction Equipment’s relationship with its customers doesn’t end when a machine leaves the dealership. Volvo offers a wide range of aftermarket solutions tailored to a wide variety of customer needs throughout the lifecycle of the machine.
