Volvo’s biggest excavator ever
At Bauma we witnessed the launch of Volvo’s largest excavator the new EC950E. I was really hoping it would be making it to Hillhead this year, but my contact says it’s been in action wowing the crowds of invited guests during the week long programme of activities to celebrate 50 years of ADT production in Sweden.
In all fairness the machine in its current guise can only be sold into less regulated markets where it doesn’t have to meet such strict emissions regulations, but no doubt that will change in the coming years. It certainly looked an impressive machine during the demonstration periods at the 7 day Bauma event where the big machine dominated the demonstration arena.
Check out this promotional video from Volvo featuring the EC950E in action.
