Volvo CE introduce Tier 4i/Stage IIIB conversion kit

Special engine conversion kit allows Volvo customers to sell machines outside the US and EU

VOLVO CE have announced that customers will now be able to have their Tier 4i/Stage IIIB machines fitted with a special engine conversion kit that allows them to sell their used products on to countries where high sulphur fuels are still actively used. 

The conversion kit works by protecting the Volvo engines against high sulphur levels while meeting the company’s internal design standards. 

Alan Berger, vice-president product platforms for Volvo CE, commented: ‘We know that some of our customers export their used machines to countries outside of the US or EU and must operate on a different type of fuel. We want to assure customers that there will still be a market for Tier 4i/Stage IIIB-compliant machines abroad.’

Volvo Tier 4i/Stage IIIB engines, without the conversion kit, would not be able operate correctly due to the high sulphur fuel used in many non-regulated countries. The conversion kit, however, facilitates the reliability of a machine after export.

‘There is increasing demand outside of the US and EU for high quality machines. With the conversion kit, Volvo machines can be sold in these markets which was not previously possible,’ continued Mr Berger.
