Bigger stand for Volvo at Hillhead 2010

VOLVO CE are taking a larger stand at Hillhead 2010 to showcase their construction equipment and road machinery, some of which will be on display for the first time in the UK.

Taking centre stage on the stand will be the AGB6870 paver, the new MW500 milling machine and the latest SD130 soil compaction roller. Also featured will be the DD24 asphalt roller and Volvo Truck products.

Visitors to the stand will also be able to see equipment designed specifically for use in demolition, waste handling, extraction and general construction. Among the products on show will be the EC460C Ultra High Reach excavator, the L120F waste handler, Volvo’s flagship EC700C excavator and the A40E articulated hauler.

The benefits of the company’s recently launched Eco Operator initiative – a training programme that teaches fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly methods of operating machinery – will feature heavily at this year’s exhibition.

Supported by an articulated hauler simulator, visitors will be invited to take up the ‘Eco Challenge’, with an ultimate prize for the overall winner. Various soft offerings will also be on display including: Volvo Finance; customer support featuring customer-service agreements; and CareTrack telematics. A variety of official Volvo merchandise will also be on sale.
