A fluid sample is collected from the machine for analysis
As construction operations become more complex and uptime expectations rise, maintenance strategies must evolve. Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has launched a new Fluid Analysis video as part of its three-part Condition Monitoring Series, highlighting how data-driven services help customers shift from reactive problem-solving to a proactive, insight-led approach to machine care.
The video positions Volvo CE’s Fluid Analysis service as a practical tool that enables customers to better understand their machines’ health, plan maintenance more effectively, and protect productivity over the long term.
What is Fluid Analysis, and why is it important
Fluid Analysis is a simple, mobile-friendly service that tests lubricants and fluids to assess the internal condition of machines. By analysing these fluids, customers gain early visibility into wear, contamination, and abnormal trends that may signal potential machine issues.
Instead of responding to failures after they occur, fleet managers and operators can use Fluid Analysis to reduce unplanned downtime, extend machine life, and make overhauls more predictable.
Getting started is easy
The video provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough to help customers apply Fluid Analysis in real operations:
The video also explains how to interpret the insights, giving customers confidence in turning data into maintenance actions
Turning insights into action
A key focus of the video is understanding Fluid Analysis reports. Results are presented in a clear, accessible format, highlighting abnormal conditions, potential risks, and recommended actions.
These actionable insights support informed decision-making, whether adjusting service intervals, scheduling inspections, or preventing potential failures, helping customers maintain uptime and operational efficiency.
Services in action
While the video brings Fluid Analysis to life on screen, Volvo CE also reinforces its service commitment through direct customer engagement. As part of the “Services Make It Better” campaign, Volvo CE recently hosted an Aftermarket Café in Singapore, welcoming approximately 50 customers to explore its service offerings in a hands-on environment.

A dedicated Fluid Analysis station was a highlight of the event, where customers learned how fluid testing can proactively reveal internal machine conditions. Through direct interaction with Volvo experts, participants gained practical insights into how Fluid Analysis helps identify potential issues early, improve productivity, and reduce machine downtime, reinforcing the proactive maintenance message featured in the video.
Jerome Ho, Manager Uptime Services, Volvo CE, Region Asia, comments:
“Fluid Analysis is not just about identifying problems, it’s about preventing them. Volvo CE’s Volvo Fluid Analysis service helps customers gain early visibility into machine health so maintenance can be planned before issues impact operations. This approach reflects Volvo CE’s broader service philosophy of combining expert knowledge, digital tools, and customer engagement to support more reliable and efficient operations.”
Customers are strongly encouraged to use Volvo CE’s Volvo Fluid Analysis directly in the app. Registration, sampling, and reporting are all managed digitally, offering fast access to results and expert recommendations wherever work takes place.
By bringing together the Condition Monitoring Series and the Aftermarket Café, Volvo CE demonstrates how proactive services, supported by both digital solutions and customer engagement, help make operations more predictable, productive, and resilient.
