With world class fuel efficiency and productivity, the powerful 30 T-rated Volvo EC300DL will be the natural earthmoving choice for customers in Thailand. The new Volvo EC300DL is designed for heavy-duty applications such as road building, truck loading, quarrying and trenching. With the Thai government moving ahead with plans for a multi-billion dollar infrastructure program, which includes major upgrades to the country's rail and road network, as well as the expansion of ports and airports, anticipated demand for Volvo?s new powerful excavator is high.

Driving performance on the heavy duty EC300DL is a Volvo D7E engine that has a 169 kW power rating and also delivers excellent fuel efficiency. There's a strong focus on productivity, with power from the unit improved by up to 11% and torque improved up to 12% compared with its Volvo predecessor.

Similarly, breakout force and arm tear-out force is also increased by between 3% and 6%, offering higher digging power when compared to its predecessor. Further enhancing productivity is the Volvo Care Cab, which provides a safe and comfortable working environment that allows the operator to focus purely on the job in hand.

The unit is well-suited to high volume earthmoving and can offer a maximum digging outreach of 11.32 m and a maximum digging depth of 8.00 m. And for greater flexibility, operators can choose from one of five working modes, each offering varying levels of fuel efficiency and productivity, allowing users to select the right mode for the right job.

The EC300DL was officially launched into the Thai market at Italthai Expo in Bangkok at the end of April, an event to celebrate Italthai Group's 60th anniversary. The first deliveries to customers will begin shortly.
