VOLVO CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT HAS UNVEILED THE LATEST GENERATION OF ITS ECR355 SHORT SWING EXCAVATOR, DELIVERING A STEP CHANGE IN PRECISION AND EFFICIENCY.

- 

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has launched the latest evolution in its short swing radius excavator range.

Addressing key productivity challenges such as tight-space operation and demanding lifting needs, the new ECR355 delivers greater fuel efficiency, increased lifting performance and enhanced operator comfort. Purpose-built for tough environments, it helps customers achieve more with less.

Volvo CE said the upgraded ECR355 delivers up to seven per cent greater fuel efficiency than the previous generation, thanks to a new electro-hydraulic control system and redesigned main control valve.

The system uses electronic sensors and the machine's onboard computer to optimise flow and pressure, designed to ensure smooth and precise control of the boom, arm and bucket movements.

Electric cooling fans operate only when needed, minimising engine load, noise and fuel consumption.

Operators also benefit from a host of additional efficiency-enhancing technologies, including new engine work modes with hydraulic priority setting and optional Comfort Driving Control and automatic engine shutdown, which contribute to lower running costs and higher uptime.
