LOAD & HAUL


XE has new generator, motor and inverter components, which according to offi cial fi gures decreases fuel consumption by up to 28% overall and by up to 49% in face-loading applications. In-house production studies


report that the loader delivers faster acceleration than the conventional 988K variant and can therefore increase productivity by up to 10% in load-and-carry applications. Engine life is increased by 3,500 hours, while oil change intervals double to 2,000 hours. Some 40% less powertrain oil is used.


Volvo’s latest venture Volvo is set to launch a new range of rigid haulers. T e models in the range will be the 45 tonne R45D, 60 ton R60D, 72 tonne R70D and the fl agship 100 tonne R100E. T e models lean heavily on Terex’s experience, as T omas Bitter at Volvo explains: “Our purchase of Terex Trucks in 2014 was a decision that allowed us to off er customers a rigid hauler option. Since then, we’ve been working to design a new rigid hauler that builds on Terex Trucks’ 84 year heritage, while also incorporating Volvo’s technology and core values of


quality, safety and environmental care. T e new Volvo machines, especially the E-Series R100E, are the outcome of this work. We’re confi dent that they will impress mining customers.” Poduction of Terex Trucks rigid haulers will eventually cease, although as well as making these rigid haulers in Scotland the Terex-branded articulated hauler range will continue as normal and the existing dealer network will remain. ●
