New
Generation Excavator EC 210 (T3)
Volvo Construction
Equipment (Volvo CE) celebrated its biggest launch ever since Volvo Days 2024
with the unveiling of New Generation Excavators, articulated haulers, wheel
loaders, and more. The roll-out of the New Generation Excavators is coming to
Southeast Asian markets now.
The first five models in
the New Generation range are: EC210, EC220, EC230, EC300, and EC360, and these
are offered for sale across the region from January 2025. Singapore hosted the
first launch, with a customer event attended by over 100 individuals on January
17th, where the flagship 20-tonne New Generation EC210 model was displayed
alongside the L120 electric wheel loader. Further launch events are planned
across the region, where customers will be able to see the new range upclose
and in-person.
Our
EDGE to Success
The launch of the New
Generation Excavator series aligns with Volvo CE’s "Our EDGE to
Success" framework in Region Asia, emphasising the company's commitment to
delivering customer success through competitive products, excellent services,
and a dependable distribution network. The EDGE concept was first introduced
during the Region Asia dealer conference in September 2024 to underscore the
importance of collaboration between Volvo, its dealers, and customers,
fostering a competitive advantage for all parties. The EDGE concept also
summarises the key enablers for customer outcomes.
Enhanced
Efficiency
The Volvo engine provides
higher power and torque to maximise performance. There are 10 work modes for
effective use of engine power across all segments and applications. The
powerful engine and matched hydraulics with faster cycle times boost customers’
productivity as never before on a New Generation EC210.
Durability
and Safety
No matter the application,
the New Generation EC210 will excel across all segments thanks to the robust
machine design and heavy-duty configuration. The New Generation machines also
increased the onsite safety for operators with 3-point side access, emergency
shutdown, rearview camera, and anti-slip plates. Operator comfort is ensured
with more precise controls, ROPS cab, an ergonomically designed human-machine
interface, and an improved operator environment.
Greater
Fuel Savings
In the New Generation of
Volvo Excavators, our new improved hydraulics reduces fuel consumption
dramatically. It is done by regulating engine speed and hydraulic flow rate
based on the task at hand, leading to up to 15% fuel economy improvement and
lower operating costs.
Easy
to own and maintain
Minimising downtime is key
to protecting customers’ Return on Investment. The New Generation Excavators
are designed for easy service access and longer service intervals to drive down
maintenance costs and increase machine availability. A fuel shut-off valve also
facilitates fuel filter changes, avoiding fuel spillage and further reducing
costs.
Tomas
Kuta, President of Region Asia, Volvo CE, said: “This
New Generation Excavator series represents years of collaboration and
innovation. We are excited to introduce these machines to customers in Region
Asia, addressing the specific demands of the regional construction sector. Our
customers are facing unique challenges, and these machines are designed to help
them stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.”
