Controllability

Take on any application with the improved load-sensing hydraulic system that allows maximum utilization of available engine power, increasing controllability and responsiveness.

Volvo has involved the customer at every stage of the machine’s design, through on-site visits and test drives.

Designed by you, built by Volvo

At Volvo, we go the extra mile to make sure our customers are included throughout the entire engineering journey of our machines. Offering on-site demonstrations and test drives, we give customers the opportunity to tailor their machine to the demands of their jobsites. Rigorously tested, the EWR170E is designed to achieve optimum real-world performance - experience continuous improvement with Volvo.

Safer, from the inside and out

Find your way easily when entering and exiting the machine, thanks to bright steps and handrails. As an option, the welcome light can now be controlled remotely, to guide you in the darkness.

Longer hose life

To increase component life, the hose routing between the boom and arm has been redesigned. The new shorter hoses enhances durability, and reduces the chance of damage.

Clean and productive

Reduce the risk of damage to your machine, with new axle mounted mudguards. Designed with a large surface area following the wheel arch, the mudguards will help to keep your machine cleaner for longer.

The combination of the space on the front right of the machine and the positioning of the engine, allow for a clear and unobstructed view.

Comfortable and convenient

Conveniently designed to make life easier on the jobsite, the EWR170E is equipped with the latest features to increase productivity. Take on the most demanding working environments from the comfort of the spacious Volvo Care Cab, boasting all-around visibility and ergonomically-positioned controls.

Operator convenience

Operate in comfort every day, with a number of features that contribute to a more productive environment. These include the drawer type tool box, trailer hitch, refuelling pump, in-cab fluid check, and Bluetooth. Customize the controls on the joystick, and create a short cut for easy operation of the wipers or mute function.

Comfort Drive Control

New for the Volvo wheeled excavator range, Comfort Drive Control gives the operator the opportunity to control the machine using the roller on the joystick, up to 20km/h. Enjoy easy operation with an array of functions at your fingertips. You can opt to integrate blade/outrigger controls in the left-hand joystick.

Volvo Smart View

Increase visibility using the rear view and side view cameras – which come as standard. Or select Volvo Smart View. This smart option offers a bird’s-eye-view of the machine in real-time, as well as enhanced visibility of all angles, to help you navigate through tough situations.

Experience smoother and faster travel when driving over rough terrain, thanks to the optional Boom Suspension System.

Boost productivity

Swing into action with superior performance and efficiency. The versatile EWR170E combines power, fuel efficiency, easy service and smart features for an all-round machine that’s in tune with your needs.

Power up, fuel down

Move more with less thanks to the powerful Volvo engine. To reduce fuel consumption, the machines are also equipped with auto idle and auto engine shut down functions. ECO mode turns on automatically to maintain productivity and increase fuel efficiency and the passive regeneration process automatically cleans the DPF filters without any impact on performance.

Boom float function

Operation is made easier with the optional boom float function. The boom automatically follows the attachment – bucket, hammer or vibration plate. No excessive force on the attachment possible resulting in longer life for the attachment and the machine.

Boost productivity and reduce fuel consumption with the factory-fitted Steelwrist® tiltrotator, which works collectively with the two joysticks and machine display for ultimate control.
