The value of efficiency

When working in dig and dump applications, the EC250E Hybrid is a straightforward solution with big payback. Save fuel, lower emissions and boost the profitability of your operation.

With a host of new and proven features including enhanced machine access, superior visibility, bouncing reduction technology and customizable settings, the upgraded EC250E Hybrid delivers all the safety and comfort you would expect from your Volvo machine.

Safety, inside and out

Operators can access the upper structure with safety and confidence thanks to the new 3-point right-hand side access. Industry renowned features such as bolted anti-slip steps, high visibility handrails and spacious, ergonomic and low-noise Volvo Care Cab ensure the highest levels of operator comfort and safety.

Know your limits

With Volvo Active Control, operators can easily set swing fence, height limit and depth limit from the Volvo Co-Pilot. This helps to avoid contact with side obstacles, overhead obstacles such as power lines and underground hazards such as pipes and cables.

See it all

Operators benefit from outstanding visibility thanks to rear and side-view cameras. Furthermore, the optional Volvo Smart View uses front, rear and side cameras to provide a real-time, overhead view of the machine, resulting in safer machine rotation while working, especially in confined spaces.

A smoother shift

New boom and arm bouncing reduction technology reduces machine shock, resulting in a more comfortable and productive operator performance. Comfort Drive Control further helps to reduce fatigue by enabling operators to steer the machine using the joystick rollers instead of the pedals.

How you like it

Get ready for the working day in no time with customizable settings, including preferred control patterns easily selected from the monitor. New ‘long push’ functionality on the joystick allows another shortcut to be set, and with the L8 joystick operators can create a shortcut to hydraulic priority functions.

Get the most out of your excavator with our range of purpose-built attachments, designed to work in perfect harmony with your machine. Customize your EC250E Hybrid with quality Volvo attachments, matched to your needs, to form one solid and reliable unit that delivers improved cycle times and increased fuel efficiency.

Easily attach

Discover our range of Volvo quick couplers, including the new Steelwrist® Auto Connect Quick Coupler – enabling the quick and easy connection of hydraulic attachments from the comfort and safety of the cab. The quick coupler delivers 300 liters per minute of hydraulic flow directly to the attachment.

Buckets of productivity

Volvo buckets are the perfect tool to achieve maximum productivity when digging and re-handling in all conditions. Whether you are working with soft, medium or hard materials, our buckets deliver long life and feature original Volvo wear parts. Heavy-Duty variants provide optimum performance when digging in compact materials.

Take a break

Available with a full range of tools, the HB-Series of hydraulic breakers are designed to be a perfect match for your Volvo. Powered by the machine’s constant auxiliary hydraulic flow, the breakers are configured to the specific weights of Volvo machines and are fully compatible with Volvo quick couplers for swift, safe and simple attachment changes.

Dig at any angle

Boost productivity and dig at any angle. Compatibility with Steelwrist®, Engcon® and Rototilt® tiltrotators provides the flexibility needed for precise construction jobs. The factory-fitted preparation system gives you the power to control both the excavator and tiltrotator using the original joysticks, with the information presented on the main display.

Durable by design, the new EC250E Hybrid is ready to take on the toughest applications. The machine delivers outstanding levels of reliability and with features including engine auto-regeneration, reinforced components and reduced maintenance requirements, you can count on the EC250E Hybrid to maximize uptime while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.

Powered by excellence

With impressively high torque at low rpm, the new D8M Volvo engine builds on generations of proven Volvo engine technology to deliver superior reliability and performance. The engine features auto-regeneration technology, while auto-engine idle and auto-engine shutdown reduce unnecessary fuel consumption and wear.

Less service requirements

The new electro-hydraulic system requires less hoses, therefore reducing the need for couplings, minimizing maintenance requirements and increasing reliability. Engine oil and engine oil filter change intervals have been doubled to 1000 hours, further ensuring the time and cost spent on maintenance is kept to a minimum.

Easier UREA filling

The new splash guard on the UREA tank makes filling quicker and easier, while also reducing the risk of spillage and subsequent corrosion.

Up to the challenge

Built to deliver outstanding strength and durability, this heavy-duty production machine features a robust undercarriage with reinforced idle frame, track links and bottom rollers. Reinforced bucket linkage with steel strip, optional heavy-duty superstructure undercover and easily replaced bolt-on wear plates at the arm end ensure the excavator succeeds even on the toughest of jobsites.
