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.” Discover more about Volvo’s New Generation Excavator machines. www.volvoce.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
