Based on the conventional diesel-powered EC220E, this new medium-sized electric excavator will deliver the same performance, if not better, with the added benefits of zero emissions, low noise and low total cost of ownership. It’s expected to achieve a 60-70% reduction in energy running costs compared to the diesel-powered EC220E.

This heavy-duty upgrade features a more responsive hydraulics system, with new lift and tilt cylinders and an increased hydraulic working pressure that allows for 10% faster work cycles and higher productivity. The upgraded driveline features new Volvo axles and an all-new Volvo transmission which enables the third generation OptiShift to be equipped as standard.

Featuring a 27% increase in lifting capacity and a 13% larger grapple than the L180H model it replaces, this machine can handle more timber per hour, upping productivity and driving down operating costs.
