Volvo CE unveil new-generation wheel loaders
Revamped wheel loaders designed for enhanced productivity and operator comfort and safety
BUILDING on an already successful year of innovations, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) are now introducing the first wave of a new generation of wheel loaders, starting with five models ranging in size from the L150 to the L260, all designed for improved productivity, operator comfort, and safety.
For 70 years, Volvo CE have been at the forefront of wheel loader technology. These innovative new-generation wheel loaders are engineered to enhance productivity and efficiency across a wide array of applications, including quarrying, material handling, re-handling, waste and recycling, and earthmoving.
The five revamped models are the L150, L180, L200 High Lift, L220, and L260. Aside from a fresh design, these versatile machines are now said to offer even faster cycle times, superior performance, and unmatched operator comfort, as well as being packed with intelligent solutions to help customers maximize productivity and profitability.
Alexis Delatolas, global product manager, at Volvo CE, said: ‘Our new-generation wheel loaders represent a significant leap forward in technology and design. With these models, we’re not just enhancing productivity and comfort but also setting new standards for innovation and efficiency in the industry.
‘This latest launch is part of our most ambitious year yet, as we continue to introduce a range of groundbreaking products and services across multiple technologies to meet our customers’ demands, wherever they are in their transformation journey.’
The new wheel loaders benefit from:
Optimal productivity and fuel efficiency thanks to a host of new features such as new-generation load-sensing hydraulics, automatic bucket levelling, intelligent Auto Bucket Fill feature and updated Smart Control.
Exceptional operator comfort with a revamped cab and the introduction of the acclaimed Volvo Co-Pilot, setting new benchmarks for comfort and functionality.
Ease of service to ensure maximum uptime with a tilting cab, brake wear indicators located on the wheels, new service platform and harness anchor points outside the cab.
Exceptional safety inside and out with new optional safety features such as Volvo Smart View and the updated Collision Mitigation System, new handrails and steps, automatic door opening, and enhanced lighting.
Volvo CE say customers can get even more out of their machines by pairing them with digital solutions such as Load Assist with On-Board weighing for real-time load data, Operator Coaching, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Likewise, the new Load Ticket solution is available to streamline invoicing for wheel loader operators by digitalizing the flow from machine to the office, while Site Operations helps manage mixed-fleet job sites. Moreover, Volvo’s CareTrack telematics system offers 24/7 monitoring to reduce repair costs and maximize uptime.
The new-generation wheel loaders will be gradually introduced across select markets globally during 2025.
