Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has introduced a new lineup of excavators tailored for Africa and the Middle East
The six advanced models—EC210, EC220, EC230, EC260, EC300, and EC360—offer a combination of state-of-the-art technology, durability, and efficiency, catering to diverse industrial applications.
These excavators integrate engine-pump optimisation technology, improving fuel efficiency by up to 15% over previous models. Designed for higher productivity and lower emissions, they provide significant cost savings while maintaining superior performance. A redesigned cab enhances operator comfort and usability.
“These new generation excavators can deliver premium quality and heavy-duty performance,” commented Olle Watz, excavator product manager at Volvo CE Region International. “They mark another way Volvo CE is continuing to understand and adapt to the unique needs of customers and end-users by providing superior, highly productive options.”
How do they excel?
Suitable for sectors such as agriculture, roadwork, construction, trenching, and quarrying, the six excavator models offer reliability and efficiency. Built on decades of engineering expertise, they incorporate intelligent machine control and a strong legacy in the region.
“These machines have been developed with a focus on reliability and adaptability, ensuring they excel in varying conditions, offer best-in-class fuel efficiency, and deliver value to operators worldwide,” added Olle.
The EC210, EC220, and EC230 models handle heavy loads and rough terrain with ease, while the EC260, EC300, and EC360 provide higher capacity for demanding tasks.
A newly designed, ROPS-certified cab enhances ergonomics, streamlines controls, and features an advanced human-machine interface (HMI). Operators benefit from improved visibility, noise reduction, and an efficient HVAC system.
“With the cab, it’s a totally new design with a more intuitive layout,” explained Olle. “Whilst we’ve prioritised productivity and power, it’s not to the expense of operator comfort.”
All models support Volvo Dig Assist, an optional intelligent machine control system that enhances excavation accuracy and efficiency. Features such as real-time weighing, automated digging, and 360° machine visibility through Volvo Smart View improve on-site safety and performance. Operators can also set depth, height, and swing limits for added control.
Powered by Volvo’s trusted engines and advanced hydraulics, these machines ensure smooth, precise movements and reduced cycle times. Lower engine RPM decreases fuel consumption and carbon emissions, delivering sustainability without compromising power.
“The new generation of Volvo excavators are built to meet the evolving demands of the industrial landscape,” concluded Olle. “Volvo CE is once again helping customers have the right tools for their specific needs.”
