The EC55 Electric Compact Excavator is a revolutionary product which assures at least 50% reduction in energy costs and over 30% savings in maintenance expenses. It opens up new opportunities for businesses to operate profitably in noise-sensitive areas, low-carbon zones, indoors, and in other places, at all odd hours.

Also on display was the Volvo EC 200D Crawler Excavator with Quick Coupler plus HB22 breaker. Versatility and complete ease in operations are hallmarks of this all-new variant. Featuring a powerful engine, a robust frame, and optimized hydraulics, it is suitable for a wide variety of tasks.

Also on display was the P7320 Track Paver - the most recent paver range to be manufactured and launched in India. The unit offers a winning combination of power, production capacity, and precision for excellent paving quality with smooth mats. Fitted with 9m high-density Variomatic screed, the P7320D Paver offers a marked degree of flexibility when frequently changing paving widths. With a Volvo fixed screed, this paver is proven to be effective when paving up to 700 tons per hour at 9 meters width. This level of throughput makes it versatile for a wide range of applications, including city roads, highways, and waste storage areas.

Dimitrov Krishnan, Managing Director, Volvo CE India, explained, “Our unique service solutions utilize digital and interactive features. The EC55 Electric Compact Excavator is a clean choice and smart investment for India and will reinforce Volvo CE as the technological pacesetter in the construction equipment industry, driven by innovation, quality, and reliability.”
