Volvo Construction Equipment launches EC550E excavator

The EC550E is a machine suited for mass excavation and heavy-duty digging – boosting productivity by up to 35%.

Dimitrov Krishnan, Head of Region India at Volvo CE, explained: “Delivering the type of durability and performance more commonly expected from a 60-tonne excavator. Customers can get ready for up to 35% more productivity and 22% more fuel efficiency,”

Up to 35% higher productivity: EC550E is available with a range of optimum-sized buckets, it is also the perfect partner to wide-body 38-40t hauling equipment, reducing the number of required passes and improving cycle times.
Features an ultra-durable undercarriage with a long lower frame, a strong upper frame, and reinforced digging equipment with a large pin size. The optional wider retractable lower frame provides further stability and higher ground clearance.

Up to 22% more fuel efficiency with Independent Metering Valve Technology: Electro-hydraulic system with Independent Metering Valve Technology (IMVT) and engine/pump optimisation increase fuel efficiency, which lowers engine rpm while optimising power.

Comfort and safety: 14-air vent climate control system and ergonomic seat with 9 adjustment settings. Boom and arm bouncing reduction technology also dramatically reduces machine shock, resulting in more comfortable and productive operator performance.

Maximum machine availability: For example, the oil bath pre-cleaner, which keeps the engine clean and performing at its best, especially when working in dusty conditions.
