Replacing the outgoing E model, the new EC950F is equipped with a 603 hp (450kW) Volvo D16 Tier 4 Final engine that delivers high torque at low rpm. According to Volvo this machine is designed for fast and efficient on-site production. Pairing the EC950F with the Volvo A60H articulated hauler is where customers can realize extreme productivity potential. The EC950F fills the 60-ton, 33.6 m³ (43.9 yd³) haul truck in just four bucket passes, with an impressive average cycle time of 20-25 seconds.

The other big machine on show will be the manufacturers largest dumptruck, the R100E which is built in the UK at the factory in Scotland.

The new R100E rigid hauler was a dominating figure on the Volvo stand at the Bauma Trade Fair last year and we expect it to have the same presence here in Las Vegas.

The R100E is powered by a premium 783 kW (1050 hp) Tier 4 Final engine, with a combined drivetrain to provide high torque capabilities, and according to Volvo, unparalleled pulling performance and class-leading rimpull for optimum travel times.

Add into the mix the Gold Rush special edition excavator that was recently auctioned off by Ritchie Bros, its going to be a stand not to miss!!
