Features & Benefits

Optimized hydraulics Designed to perfectly match the engine power, reduce power loss, and improve controllability and response time.

Best in class efficiency

The EC220E builds on its efficiency reputation from the D-Series by ensuring all components work together and complement each other. The enhancements deliver the best in class fuel efficiency while not compromising on power – reducing emissions and consumption, while increasing productivity.

Volvo ec220e excavator: optimized hydraulics

Improve controllability with the highly responsive Volvo EC220E Excavator, equipped with a hydraulics system that works in perfect harmony with the Tier 4 final compliant D6 engine, providing a smooth, efficient and effective use of energy for maximum productivity.

Volvo engine

Featuring proven advanced technology, and built on decades of experience, Volvo's robust D6 Tier 4F engine boasts more power - while reducing both fuel consumption and emissions to deliver superior quality, reliability and durability.

Increased power

The increased pump input power creates a highly responsive operation resulting in greater productivity and faster cycle time.

Boom float function

With the boom float function, the pump power for boom lowering can be saved or used for other functions, reducing the cycle time. Also, the grading operation can be made easier.

Main control valve and software

The valve is compatible with software in the machine to aid controllability, by providing smooth and easy operation. In addition to increased swing force, the EC220E also comes with a boom swing priority valve; this enhances controllability of the swing and boom operation – making it ideal for loading trucks.

New human machine interface (hmi) All machine interfaces are ergonomically positioned and designed for optimum control and efficiency.

First choice for comfort

The cab design puts the operator in the drivers' seat to control personal specifications - from climate control, to short-cut functions on the joystick. The spacious cab allows the operator to move comfortably, to create a working environment that naturally promotes increased productivity

Volvo ec220e excavator: technologically powered

Keeping things simple is key, and the Volvo EC220E is no exception. This enhanced Excavator features an ergonomically designed interface for increased control and efficiency. With simplified switches and a climate control system integrated into the keypad, the Human Machine Interface (HMI) brings the operator and technology together, forming one cohesive working environment.

Side view camera

As well as the rear view camera, there is now a side view camera option to cover the visual blind spot. Both views are displayed on the color monitor, creating a safer working environment, protecting the operator and personnel on the ground.

Short-cut key

For added convenience, functions such as windshield wipers, cameras, auto-mute or power max function can all be assigned a short-cut button on the joystick. This allows the operator to select a function during the application without disruption.

Bluetooth®

To aid operator convenience and support better productivity, you can now connect a Bluetooth device to the machine enabling the hands-free function.

Seatbelt warning alarm

If the seatbelt is not buckled when the ignition key is turned, an alarm is triggered in intervals along with a continuous visual alert. This emphasizes our priority for operator safety.

Built to last No detail – no matter how small - is overlooked. Silicone caulking is used to prevent rust, waterproof harnesses and connections have been installed - as well as heavy-duty door hinges and bolted-on protection for the framework lights.

Building on foundations of trust and quality

Quality is one of Volvo’s core values and it goes hand-in-hand with reliability and durability. The EC220E pays particular attention to having all the components working at a high level of capacity but also being built to stand the test of time – providing the customer and operator with peace of mind.

Volvo ec220e excavator: built to last

Endure the toughest working conditions in the Volvo EC220E Excavator. Each component plays an integral part in making this machine strong enough to tackle challenging terrain and adverse weather. Its silicone caulking prevents rust and heavy-duty door hinges protect the frame-work lights, durably designed to withstanding the test of time.

ROPS

The cab features ROPS – this reinforced steel structure ensures the operator is protected in the unlikely event of the machine rolling over, while it also meets the ISO standards for safety.

Boom and Arm

The robust design includes internal plates positioned to support pressure points during the range of applications. This helps disperse the stress from high-pressure areas of the boom and arm, to ensure maximum productivity time after time, during the most demanding applications.

Lower frame

The intelligently designed X-shape lower frame enables even weight distribution increasing stability and durability - preventing damage from rock and debris.

Narrow and Heavy-duty (NH) Undercarriage

The EC220E NH’s oversized and heavy-duty undercarriage creates excellent tractive force for improved durability and reliability in demanding terrain. A robust undercarriage increases the service life of the machine.

Ultimate tool carrier Designed to not only be compatible with a range of attachments, but also to enhance their performance by easily and quickly switching to accommodate any needs.

Customer choice
