Volvo pulls out the stops for ConExpo 2020
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) will offer visitors at this year’s ConExpo-Con/Agg 2020 a unique interactive experience while presenting its range of products and services across 5,574m3 of show space in Las Vegas, from March 10-14. More than 30 machines and related uptime and productivity services will be featured, including a number of global and regional launches, at a new location in the outdoor Festival Grounds, booth F3432. Volvo CE’s other equipment brands Terex Trucks and SDLG will also be present at the show.
Anchoring the booth are machines from both the largest and smallest models in the Volvo range. At the compact end of the spectrum, visitors can get hands-on experience operating Volvo CE’s electric compact machines, the L25H loader and ECR25 excavator. The biggest iron in the booth will be on prominent display with the heavy-duty EC950F crawler excavator, Volvo CE’s largest excavator which is now available globally, and the powerful R100E rigid hauler – both targeting quarrying, mining and mass excavation.
Volvo’s full force of excavators will be front centre in the booth, including the new EC300E hybrid excavator, now available in North America, featuring straightforward and industry-first hydraulic hybrid Volvo technology. In road machinery, Volvo will debut the 8ft class P5110B tracked and P5170B wheeled pavers. ConExpo 2020 is also where Volvo will reveal two new concept models that herald where the company is taking connected, electric, and autonomous machines.
ConExpo attendees can get familiar with Volvo Assist technologies, now standard on many products, with hands-on demonstrations to show how the machine control software gives operators greater accuracy and time savings. An extensive display of over 30 attachments, from buckets to couplers to forks and breakers, will be fitted on equipment across the Volvo booth, showcasing versatility and performance.
In keeping with the company’s theme of Building Tomorrow, visitors can watch for an inspiring project launch that will show how Volvo CE turns words into actions. The project is dedicated to combining the power of Volvo people, products, and partners to help address global challenges and build a brighter tomorrow for people around the globe.
Likewise, construction fans can also give something back in advance of the show by helping Volvo CE pick a worthy cause to benefit from the auction of the limited edition EC200E Volvo excavator. By taking part in an online poll, participants can choose which non-profit will receive proceeds from the machine’s sale at the Ritchie Bros. auction in Orlando, Florida, in February. The excavator, which will make its final public appearance at the Volvo CE ConExpo stand, has been touring North America over the past six months to celebrate the 10th season of Gold Rush, a TV series focusing on the challenges facing teams of miners digging for gold in the US and Canada.
