Volvo Construction Equipment’s heavy-duty EC380E crawler excavator is an exceptionally productive machine that lowers operating costs through reduced fuel consumption and simple maintenance requirements. Powered by a proven Tier 4 Final/Stage IV-compliant Volvo D13 engine, the EC380E delivers high digging and breakout forces alongside reduced emissions and a 9% improvement in fuel efficiency.
The EC380E’s hydraulics are perfectly matched to the engine and are controlled by an advanced system that provides on-demand flow and reduces power losses within the circuit. Volvo’s unique ECO mode contributes up to 9% of the machine’s total improved efficiency – without any loss of performance in most operating conditions. As well as improving fuel efficiency, this increases controllability for more precise performance. Otherwise, Volvo’s integrated work mode system offers the operator a choice of five work modes according to the task in hand – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) or P (Power max) – for optimum efficiency and machine performance. When the controls have been inactive for a pre-set amount of time, the excavator can be programmed to automatically reduce engine speed or even shut down, further reducing fuel consumption and noise. Operators can keep track of both current and average fuel consumption via a simple gauge in the cab.

Maximum uptime
The Volvo EC380E crawler excavator has been designed not only for ease of operation but also for simple maintenance. This ensures maximum uptime and minimum expenditure on parts and servicing. The EC380E’s strong three-piece undercarriage and high tensile steel X-shaped frame have been reinforced to ensure a long service life, while additional superstructure cover plates prevent damage to the underside of the machine from rock and debris. The machine vitals are protected from damage by overheating thanks to a hydraulically-driven, electrically-controlled cooling fan that activates only when needed, further minimizing fuel consumption and noise. The fan’s optional reverse functionality, which blows air in the opposite direction, enables self-cleaning for ease of maintenance. Daily service checks are quickly and easily carried out thanks to grouped service points and large opening doors, helping to get the most out of every operating shift.
Uptime is also increased by the sheer versatility of the EC380E, which can be adapted through a wide range of attachments. These durable attachments have been purpose-built to work in harmony with Volvo excavators for unrivalled performance, whatever the application. Volvo’s general purpose buckets are the perfect tools for digging and re-handling in soft to medium conditions, while the heavy-duty buckets are intended for productive digging in compact materials. A selection of economic, replaceable wear parts including high-quality teeth, segments, side cutters, adapters and shrouds are also available to protect the bucket and ensure long life.
