Volvo Ce Delivers Over 90% Uptime In Indian Mines

Service support package making the difference

- 

Indian mining customer Hilltop Hirise was targeting 5,000 hours of operation per year with the Volvo EC480DL, but the machine delivered around 7,000 hours per year. For four years, the excavator worked up to 22 hours a day in the toughest of environments, averaging an uptime of more than 90%, thanks to Volvo’s superior design and an industry-leading service package.

Dhanbad is the ‘Coal Capital’ of India, and some of the largest coal mines in the country can be found in the city. With production levels on the rise, local mine operators need heavy-duty machines that are durable enough to withstand the punishing conditions and productive enough to meet rising targets.
