The company’s highly-anticipated new EC200D excavator will join a host of other machinery on the Volvo CE booth at this year’s EXCON 2017 in Bangalore.

Volvo CE will feature a wide spectrum of products at EXCON 2017, the largest construction equipment exhibition in South Asia this year. The move is aimed at highlighting the company’s strength in depth as well as the superior productivity of its machines. EXCON 2017 will take place between December 12 and 16 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.

Dimitrov Krishnan, Vice President and Head of Volvo CE India, said, “EXCON 2017 is a perfect platform to highlight the company’s unique position in supporting India’s ongoing infrastructure build out.”

He adds, “We remain the only major manufacturer present in all equipment sectors: mining, road building and general construction. So EXCON 2017 is a great opportunity for us to meet with customers and colleagues from a wide range of businesses and update them on our latest products, which this year include the exciting new EC200D excavator.”

EC200D takes a bow
The new EC200D excavator from Volvo CE will be the star of the company’s line up. It will be launched at this year’s EXCON 2017.
Volvo is expecting strong interest in the EC200D, which has been specifically designed for general construction work. The new machine also has a bucket breakout force of 123 kN and an arm tear out force of 96 kN, which help it deliver high job site productivity and fast cycle times.

Volvo will also be displaying EC210D, a 20-tonne rated machine that has been tailored for more heavy duty applications, such as mining and quarry work, as well as general construction.

The third excavator on the Volvo booth is sure to draw the crowds at EXCON 2017: the huge EC950E. This 90-tonne rated heavyweight is the largest excavator in the Volvo line and will also be one of the largest on show in Bangalore. Its maximum bucket capacity is 6 cu.m. while its breakout force of 424 kN and arm tear out force of 408 kN help deliver the machine’s unparalleled digging performance.

Ready for road building
With road building still in the spotlight in India, Volvo will be showcasing a range of products to help contractors beat deadlines and boost profitability on the job. Pressure is on for contractors, not only to pick up the pace of road building but to improve the finished quality of roads, and taking advantage of the latest technology can help on both these counts.

From the company’s wide range of road building machines the P6820C ABG tracked paver; the DD90B asphalt compactor; and the SD110BA soil compactor will be on show. The P6820C ABG offers paving widths of up to 10 m and comes equipped with a 142 kW-rated Volvo engine. Its paving output can reach up to 700 tonnes per hour.

The DD90B and SD110BA are two relative newcomers to the Volvo family, having both launched last year. The DD90B is a 9-tonne double drum asphalt compactor which delivers a smooth finish in fewer passes for greater efficiency. The SD110BA is an 11-tonne class single drum compactor for earthwork compaction. Both are manufactured at the Volvo plant in Bangalore.

Rounding out the Volvo product display at EXCON 2017 is the L150H from the line of wheel loaders. This popular model has a bucket capacity of up to 9.5 cu.m. and a static tipping load of 15,900 kg.

Volvo Trucks will be exhibiting alongside Volvo CE and in total the companies will occupy some 2,698 sq. m of exhibition space, making it one of the largest displays at EXCON 2017. The company can be found at OD22-26 in the outdoor.

With 250,000 sq.m. of exhibition display area and more than 1,000 exhibitors hailing from 12 countries, organisers expect over 40,000 visitors at this year’s Excon 2017.
