iVT travelled to Volvo Construction Equipment’s Customer Centre in Eskilstuna, Sweden to get a first look at Volvo’s new hybrid EC560 crawler excavator.
In this video, product manager, Jörg Breuer introduces the 56–58-tonne excavator built on the OEM’s current EC535 platform. Breuer walks through the machine’s key features: a hydraulic hybrid system that recuperates energy from the boom-down function to reduce fuel consumption, a next-generation cab with fully integrated Co-Pilot monitor, people object classification (POC) radar for proximity detection, and a three-point side-access system designed for safe and easy machine entry.
