The seven new generation models are revamped updates to the already proven A25, A30, A35, A40, A45 and A60 haulers – and include the introduction of an entirely new class machine, the 45-ton A50. Designed to meet the evolving needs of customers, this range makeover marks the next wave in Volvo CE’s largest ever product roll-out.
Per Trozell, Product Manager for Sales Region Europe & International said: “Our haulers have always given our customers an exceptional off-road performance, outstanding operator comfort and maximum uptime. But now that we have updated them with our most exciting features yet for effortless operation, the best just got better. Our ability to maintain a world-leading position in this segment is testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, with quality, safety and environmental care firmly at its heart.”
Unbeatable performance
A host of new features guarantees maximum productivity across the most challenging projects in quarrying, mining, construction and more.
The Volvo drivetrain with Terrain Memory ensures superb fuel efficiency without compromising on power, with its ability to also identify and remember any slippery road segments. Automatic drive combinations with 100% differential locks and all-terrain bogie and hydro-mechanical steering also combine to provide unmatched traction, stability and precision control.
What’s more, Volvo Dynamic Drive – with its predictive gear selection that adapts to operating conditions – a downhill speed control function and industry-leading braking systems further enhance efficiency, safety and comfort.
Intuitive operation
Already regarded as the operator’s machine of choice, Volvo CE’s updated articulated haulers make it even easier to stay in the know, thanks to all essential in-cab information conveniently displayed on just two screens.
The interactive, integrated Volvo Co-Pilot display offers easy control over essential functions such as media, camera settings, climate control, and machine status. This is combined with the dynamic instrument cluster, positioned in front of the steering wheel, which provides essential vehicle data at a glance.
Comfort and visibility
Premium comfort and ease of operation is assured with the addition of adjustable seats, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports and storage solutions, as well as an ergonomic gear lever and a noise-reducing cab design.
Visibility is improved thanks to redesigned cab panels and wider wiper coverage, resulting in a field of vision that exceeds industry standards. Optional front and rear cameras, and a standard entrance camera – all of which are managed via Volvo Co-Pilot – further enhance visibility.
Entering and exiting the cab is made simple and safe due to a repositioned door entrance, railings on both sides and focused lighting on both the stairs and platform.
Working harder and safer for longer
The updated range has been engineered for durability thanks to features such as reinforced axles capable of withstanding heavier loads and higher torque, resulting in superior stability and strength.
Safety is also a priority, with new harness anchor points in the cab which meet WorkSafeBC and OSHA regulations, withstanding up to 22kN of force.
With simplified servicing, longer change intervals and easy component access, servicing is now quicker and easier than ever before, while costs are reduced. Industry-leading greasing intervals of 250 hours also eliminate the need for daily or weekly greasing, boosting productivity and reducing downtime. What is more, Volvo articulated haulers require less fluid volume compared to the competition, benefiting the environment and reducing operating costs.
To further enhance uptime, Volvo also offers flexible service contracts tailored to operator needs.
Smarter solutions
Customers can boost the performance of their articulated haulers even further with the addition of solutions such as Haul Assist with On-Board Weighing. Powered by Volvo Co-Pilot, it provides real-time payload data to prevent overloading and minimize carry back, which not only maximizes productivity but also reduces fuel consumption and machine wear.
Traffic flow, vehicle performance and on-site logistics can also be improved with the support of digital and advisory tools such as Connected Map, Performance Indicator and Site Optimization, while the CareTrack telematics system is designed to help boost machine uptime and reduce repair costs.
Built for the future
Not just a machine for today, the new generation of Volvo articulated haulers are future enabled thanks to a new software architecture which allows customers to adapt to changing needs and seamlessly incorporate future upgrades and new smart solutions, ensuring their equipment stays up to date with cutting-edge technology.
The updated models are planned for stepwise introductions to international markets.
