Work modes
The E-Series Wheeled Excavators feature four work modes combined with three travel speeds. In total 12 different combinations to be chosen to provide optimum performance and improved fuel efficiency. Breaker/shear (X1) and tilt/rotate (X3) management Increase your wheeled excavator versatility with optional hydraulics functions X1 breaker/shear and X3 tilt/rotate. X1 function utilizes the main system hydraulic flow to operate attachments requiring one or two way flow whereas X3 function provides an appropriate two way flow for tilting or rotating attachments.
Drawer type tool box
This newly developed and unique concept has been tested to carry up to 120kg. Due to the smooth sliding action it’s much easier for the operator to pull out chains using the machine or other equipment manually without having to bend over or strain their body. Because it acts as a slide-out drawer items are more visible so you can check and adjust your toolbox content much easier. A mechanical stopper has been added to prevent it from sliding out of the machine and the box dividers can be adjusted into five different positions.
Comfort Drive Control
New for the Volvo wheeled excavator range, Comfort Drive Control gives the operator the opportunity to control the machine using the roller on the joystick, up to 20km/h. Enjoy easy operation with an array of functions at your fingertips. You can opt to integrate blade/outrigger controls in the left-hand joystick.
Trailer hitch
For maximum versatility and productivity take all your tools to the jobsite in one trip. The trailer hitch is attached to your wheeled excavator approved for road homologation so that you can transport tools and attachments to and from your jobsite with ease.
Cab
Volvo’s industry-leading cab provides excellent visibility that is crucial for operator comfort control and safety on your jobsite. The spacious cab with ample storage leg room easy to access controls and an optional luxury seat increases operator productivity and reduces fatigue.

New hydraulic system
The improved hydraulic system allows maximum utilization of available engine power regardless of the application increasing controllability and responsiveness of operations. This results in higher operator efficiency and safer controlled movement.
Volvo Smart View
Three optional cameras attached to three different corners of the machine – front side and back – combine to create a bird’s eye view of the machine operating from above. The cameras also provide individual views of the machine so you can see all angles and ensure safe rotation. This intelligent and industry leading technology offers a 360o view of real footage happening in real time. The view can be seen through main LCD display. And if you have Volvo Co-Pilot (together with Dig Assist) you can have this view as well.
