Volvo CE Enhances Excavator Manufacturing and Technology in India

Volvo Construction Equipment has established India as a key manufacturing base for excavators, serving both domestic and export markets. The EC210 excavator exemplifies this with 70% local content, engineered for challenging conditions like high dust and heat.

Manufacturing emphasizes robust structures, fuel efficiency, and straightforward serviceability to minimize downtime. Telematics adoption is growing, with organized fleet operators tracking fuel use and maintenance.

However, smaller contractors still use basic tracking methods. Automation is becoming critical, enhancing productivity and safety, particularly in high-cycle applications. The focus remains on delivering value-engineered solutions that align with global standards while addressing local needs.
