Features & Benefits

Volvo’s unique ECO mode improves fuel efficiency without any loss of performance in most operating conditions.

Elite efficiency

Fuel efficiency is at the center of the EC380E crawler excavator. With advanced technology including Volvo’s unique ECO mode and a new electro-hydraulic control system, this production machine delivers a 9% improvement in fuel efficiency. Experience efficient production at its best with Volvo.

Advanced hydraulics

The new electro-hydraulic system uses intelligent technology to control on-demand flow and reduce internal losses in the hydraulic circuit. This increases controllability, shortens cycle times and improves fuel efficiency – resulting in higher productivity and performance.

Work modes

Volvo’s unique, integrated work mode system now includes the G4 mode for optimum fuel efficiency and machine performance. Operators can choose the best work mode for the task at hand – select from I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power max).

Automatic idling system

Engine speed is reduced to idle when the controls are inactive for a pre-set amount of time (between 3 and 20 seconds). This reduces fuel consumption and noise.

Fuel consumption display

A gauge bar on the monitor measures both instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel consumption. This allows machine owners and operators to monitor fuel usage on different job sites.

All machine interfaces are ergonomically positioned and designed for optimum control and efficiency.

Boost your productivity

It’s a fact that operators work more efficiently when they’re given the best tools for the job. That’s why, on top of being a superior production machine, the EC380E has an ergonomic design with ideally placed controls and switches. With built in comfort and optimized control, operators will work efficiently and productively all day long.

Keypad

The optimally positioned keypad allows the operator to easily navigate through the LCD monitor and activate machine functions in a safe and comfortable way. The functionality of the camera, air conditioning and lights can be customized via the hot key – enabling the operator to select and save desired configurations.

LCD monitor

The new, color, eight inch LCD monitor displays machine status information including fuel consumption data and service interval alerts – enabling increased uptime and high productivity. The user-friendly design is easy to read in any light conditions.

Shortcut switch

The windshield wipers, camera, audio mute or power max function can be assigned to a shortcut switch located on the joystick. This allows the operator to easily control the selected function by simply pressing a switch.

Seatbelt warning alarm

If the seatbelt is not fastened when the ignition key is turned, a sensor triggers an alarm which sounds for three seconds.

Volvo’s D13 Stage V engine boasts more power while reducing both fuel consumption and emissions and delivering superior quality, reliability and durability.

Non-stop productivity

Experienced and skilled Volvo engineers have developed and rigorously tested Stage V engine systems that deliver the ultimate combination of high productivity and low fuel consumption. Benefit from Volvo’s signature high torque at low rpm and experience superior performance and reduced fuel consumption.

Diesel-driven heater

The optional diesel-driven coolant heater helps to start the engine in low temperatures while simultaneously heating the cab. The heater can be set in advance to engage at a specific date and time.

Volvo After Treatment System

During the fully automatic regeneration process, particulate matter in the Diesel Particulate Filter is oxidized at low exhaust temperatures via passive regeneration. Volvo uses Selective Catalytic Reduction technology where AdBlue®/Diesel Exhaust Fluid is heated to produce ammonia. This causes a chemical reaction which converts NOx to nitrogen and CO2 – both of which are naturally found in the air. Neither process interrupts machine operation, performance or productivity. ® = registered trademark of the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA)

Cooling fan

The hydraulically-driven, electronically controlled cooling fan regulates the temperature of the vital components. It automatically activates only when needed – reducing fuel consumption and noise. The optional reversible functionality – which blows air in the opposite direction – enables self-cleaning of the cooling units.

The undercarriage components are reinforced to ensure long life, high uptime and ultimate durability in tough conditions.

Built to last

From quarries to mass excavation, this heavy-duty production machine has been built to work on tough job sites. Featuring a robust, reinforced structure and high quality welding, the EC380E boasts superior strength and durability. Experience reliability you can count on with Volvo.

Superstructure undercover

The heavy-duty superstructure undercover plates increase durability by providing additional protection to the underside of the machine in tough applications – preventing damage from rock and debris.

Doors and hinges

Volvo’s durable design features a rigid side door with a robust handle and hinges for superior durability

Robust design

The reinforced idler frame, track links and bottom rollers are built to withstand tough conditions for improved durability and reliability in demanding applications.

The radiator, charged air cooler and hydraulic oil cooler are situated side-byside on a single layer to maximize efficiency, reduce blockages and aid cleaning.

Up your uptime

At Volvo we believe that maintaining your machine should be as quick and easy as possible. That’s why our designers and engineers have developed innovative methods to make maintenance easy. With large, wide opening compartment doors and grouped service points, checks will be carried out faster and you’ll get the most out of every operating shift.

Service access

Grouped filters are quick and easy to access from ground level. To facilitate fast servicing, grouped greasing points are easily accessed with the machine in one position.

Anti-slip plates

Punched anti-slip plates provide superior grip and increased safety. The design facilitates easy cleaning

Storage space

A large storage compartment provides a safe and convenient location for items including a toolbox and grease can.

Handrails

Handrails and full size guardrails provide safe and easy access to the cab and superstructure.
