Volvo debuts ec210d IN NEPAL
Fuel efficient and productive Volvo EC210D launched in Nepal.

Building on a strong tradition of fuel efficiency and productivity, the Volvo EC210D crawler excavator is now available in Nepal. This machine is equipped with a range of features to ensure a superior performance, shift after shift. Volvo's new EC210D excavator is not only more powerful than its predecessor EC210B, but also has up to 10 per cent improved fuel economy.

This increased power and efficiency is likely to prove popular with construction companies in Nepal, where the machine has recently launched. According to the Federation of Contractors' Association of Nepal (FCAN), the construction industry is responsible for up to 10 per cent of the country's GDP and accounts for 35 per cent of government spending.

'Nepal government is planning a series of road building and infrastructure developments, while the hydro power industry is a strong and fast-developing business sector. Contractors are looking for good quality and reliable equipment to help them meet increasingly tight construction schedules. With its 20-ton rating, the Volvo EC210D is a versatile machine that is perfect for a range of applications, from construction and quarry work, through to hydro power projects and irrigation jobs,? said Peh Jing Peng, Business Director for Nepal, Volvo CE.

Built with high quality components, the EC210D is a durable and efficient partner in a wide range of applications. Volvo CE's Nepalese dealer, Explore Earth Moving P. Ltd, has market-leading aftermarket coverage across the whole of the Himalayan state. Having a skilled and reliable service partner is essential in Nepal, given the land-locked country is 75 per cent mountainous with many of its job sites in hard-to-reach locations.

The Tier-III Volvo engine of the EC210D works together with the proven hydraulics to provide high torque at low rpm for the ultimate combination of performance and improved fuel efficiency. For fast cycle times and optimum fuel consumption, the unit is equipped with intelligent work modes, including the new G4 work mode. Operators can choose the best mode to suit the task at hand, selecting from I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power max) mode. Choosing the correct mode according to working conditions ensures added versatility and increased productivity.

The EC210D features increased hydraulic flow for responsive, accurate control in grading and combined operations. Operators benefit from smoother, easier movement when travelling and lifting simultaneously as well as better grading quality from the harmonised boom and arm movement.

For a productive work shift, this excavator is equipped with a spacious and safe operator environment, offering enhanced all-around visibility, an adjustable seat and ergonomic controls. The improved cab interior features a new I-ECU monitor that displays a range of information for efficient operation.
