Volvo CE debuts new range of rigid haulers

The new rigid haulers from Volvo feature the latest technology to optimise fuel efficiency and uptime.

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has added to its industry-leading hauler portfolio for Asia-Pacific with the introduction of four new models: the R45D, R60D, R70D and R100E. Covering payloads from 45 to 100 tonnes (40 t–95 t), the haulers help customers cut their prime operating cost — fuel — while delivering safer operations and easier driving.

The haulers will allow owners to optimise productivity, uptime and operator comfort. They will be sold across the region, and are designed to work in harmony with wheel loaders and excavators from Volvo CE’s other product lines.

AM Muralidharan, VP Sales Support and Dealer Development for Volvo CE in APAC, said the haulers give mine operators more options to optimise productivity.

“Mine sites in Asia-Pacific continue to evolve. Companies are constantly searching for better productivity. That’s why the addition of these rigid haulers is welcome news. Of course they feature the industry-leading fuel efficiency and productivity which our customers expect. But just as importantly they work alongside our family of mining machines, including excavators, wheel loaders and more. This delivers a total equipment solution to Volvo customers,” he said.
