The two new pavers simplify the toughest of small-to-medium paving applications


The EC300E Hybrid harvests energy from the boom down motion to charge an accumulator


A significant advantage of Volvo’s new hybrid system over similar competitor systems is that it can be retrofitted to older EC300E’s. Therefore, the cost and headache of upgrading the environmental friendliness of your fleet are significantly reduced, as you are not required to dispose of older machines in favour of purchasing expensive newer machines. While currently undergoing in the field testing with several German customers, the new Volvo Hybrid system will be available soon. Further proof of Volvo’s commitment to sustainable innovation is the unveiling of two new fully electric machines. The first of this all-new electric duo to be launched at Bauma was the ECR25 Electric. This all-new compact electric crawler excavator has a runtime of up to 8 hours, is capable of achieving an 80% recharge in 1 hour and produces zero emissions.


Far from being an usable or impractical prototype, this new all- electric machine can generate a breakout force of 20.2 kN, possesses a maximum digging depth of 2.76m and can maximum dump height of 3.07m. Since appearing at Bauma, the ECR25 Electric was transported to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and was used to create the breathtaking Morgan Stanley Garden; the machine’s compact size, zero production of emissions and near- silent operation made it the perfect choice for use in central London. The Volvo L25 Electric wheel loader is equally as capable as


it’s environmentally friendly crawler excavator brother. Also boast an 8-hour runtime, 80% recharge within 1 hour and entirely emission-free operation, the L25 Electric wheel loader generates a breakout force of 49 kN, has a full-turn tipping load of 3.35


tonne and a fork payload of 2 tonnes. The new Volvo L25 Electric and ECR25 Electric are currently undergoing rigorous real-world application testing with several specially selected German customers, and it is anticipated that these will head into production in 2020. Moving outside the main Volvo Exhibition Hall, two EC20E’s were fenced off to create the Operator’s Club Challenge Area. Within this area, Operator’s Club members could demonstrate their control and coordination skill by completing various challenges for prizes.


Within the outside demonstration area, a wide range of machines, supported by a Volvo FH HGV, wowed the crowds daily with a highly choreographed demo show. Several highlights of this show included a demonstration of the hair-raisingly close proximity that groups of these truly remarkable machines can be safely operated, as well as the smoothness of their expertly controlled motions and effortless earthmoving abilities. The articulated hauler’s ability to have its trailer tipped onto two wheels, while the cab remains entirely upright, was undoubtedly a sight to behold, and a fitting testament to the uncompromising safety offered by Volvo’s articulated hauler range.


Another highlight of the show was a suspense-filled scene which involved a steelwrist-equipped EWR150E displaying its dexterity by picking up a colossal red flag. Taking on the role of a Matador to a bullishly-enraged A45G and FH HGV, it is with a great sigh of relief that SMT GB can report that no machines were slain throughout the execution of this gripping spectacle.
