With more fuel-efficient engines, improved digging performance and modern styling, Volvo Construction Equipment has fundamentally redesigned its popular wheeled excavators. Introducing the D-Series for North America — the EW180D and EW210D.
Volvo Construction Equipment has significantly updated its wheeled excavators with the launch of its new D-Series. These rugged, quality machines are highly mobile, productive and flexible — both on road and off.
Trench digging, concrete breaking, grading, craning, hole boring — the wheeled excavator is one of the most adaptable tool carriers in construction equipment, with the additional benefit of being able to move independently between jobsites at speeds of up to 22 mph (35 kph). It gets the job done fast with no fuss. Volvo wheeled excavators are renowned for their strength, balance, comfort, and reliability.
The new models available in North America consist of the EW180D and EW210D, with weights of 19.9 and 25.1 tons (18.1 and 22.8 tonnes), respectively. The improvements in these multipurpose, flexible, fuel-efficient and comfortable models can be found in almost every significant element of the machine — new engine, cab, hydraulics, undercarriage, and access to service check points.
A powerful combination
The D-Series offers more powerful Tier 4 interim (Tier 4i) certified Volvo engines, delivering lower emissions and exemplary fuel efficiency. Featuring Volvo V-ACT technology, these six-cylinder units produce high torque at low engine speeds. This combination gives more power and low fuel consumption, meeting the needs of both efficiency and environmental care. These engines work in fuel-efficient harmony with intelligent, advanced hydraulics and well-matched components. Fuel efficiency is further enhanced by the introduction of ECO mode, which has been added to the choice of work modes available. Engines are also fitted with a fuel-saving automatic idling and shutdown system. The idling system reduces the engine speed if the controls are inactive for a preset period between 3 and 20 seconds or shuts the engine off if inactive for a preset period.
The D-Series wheeled excavators are available with a mono boom and a two-piece boom providing flexibility and versatility in a wide range of applications. Increased breakout and digging forces are the result of increased hydraulic pressure, optimized hydraulic cylinders and arm / boom geometry.
