With a history that can be traced all the way back to 1832, Volvo CE is one of the true pioneers of the construction equipment industry. Through its introduction of world famous innovations such as wheel loaders and articulated haulers, Volvo CE has revolutionized the construction equipment industry.
Volvo CE also utilized technology and know-how from its other product lines, like wheel loaders and articulated haulers –both world leaders and with state-of-the art product features. Volvo’s unique expertise in these areas contributed to the outstanding fuel efficiency, productivity and cost of operation of the new excavator range. Over the years, Volvo’s excavator range has been continually growing in size to match the growth of its hauler equipment –machines are available from 1.5 to 90 tons. The most recent addition is the 90 ton Volvo EC950E excavator launched in 2016
Volvo is world-renowned for its commitment to safety. Within the context of excavators, that means protecting both operators and those around them. Volvo also works closely with its customers to constantly develop new features to bring down their total cost of ownership. The innovations introduced by Volvo to its excavators include: automatic engine shutdown and auto idle functions for fuel efficiency; load-sensing hydraulics for reduced power consumption; ergonomic and intuitive controls for better operator productivity; and wide-opening hoods for safe and easy access to components during servicing.
With over 180 years of construction and innovation expertise, Volvo CE is at the forefront of technological development. For us, the latest technology is not just nice to have, it’s essential to stay competitive and secure long-term profitable growth. Intense research and development work are carried out at Volvo CE’s R&D centres and manufacturing facilities worldwide.
