Hyundai Construction Equipment India has launched a new excavator in India. Called the R210-7v, the excavator comes equipped with mechatronics for optimized fuel consumption and productivity apart from offering lowest operating cost for 20-22 tone class excavators. The seamless matching of workloads with power requirement saves up to 7 to 10% fuel per hour and ensures enhanced earnings per dig. The machine is attractively priced in the Indian CE market and is expected to generate an enthusiastic response from the end users. In addition to the R210-7v, the company also showcased the technologically advanced R210-9 excavator, which conforms to the strategy of migration to 9 Series products. Like the R210-7v, the R210-9 also offers 7 to 10% fuel savings, and 8 to 14% improved productivity, resulting in higher earnings per dig. Other than providing stability, greater digging and crowd force along with advanced hydraulics for improved controllability and smoother operation in arduous conditions like quarries and mines, one of the unique features of these excavator series is the data download. Data download enables customers to monitor progress of the excavator at site.
