New Volvo EC160C digger - a partner you can trust

With the launch of the Volvo EC160C crawler digger, Volvo demonstrates once again that it builds more care and quality into its machines. Care for the machine owner, care for the operator, care for the service technician and care for the environment around it.

The results include:

New 87 kW (118 hp) Volvo Tier III compliant engine with V-ACT (Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology). Offers high torque at low revs, leading to ultra-efficient fuel consumption

Smooth load sensing hydraulics thanks to higher torque swing motor allows faster cycle times and increased performance

New designed Volvo Care Cab with ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) featuring many advantages for the operator: More safety, more space, better visibility and less noise. The multi-adjustable seat, pedals and joystick allow optimal controls for the operator. The new color LCD display is easy to read and offers real time information of machine functions and important diagnostic informations

Rugged long wear components, ground level access to service points and long service intervals will reduce downtime

With 95% of the machine recyclable and greatly reduced external sound levels (101 LwA dB(A)) Volvo excavators are in the forefront of environmental concern
