Features & Benefits

The new generation EC380 takes fuel efficiency to the next level. With advanced technology including new generation electro-hydraulic system (positive), selectable work modes and automatic engine shutdown/idle, the crawler excavator delivers a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency and productivity.

Unrivalled efficiency

A range of features combine in the new generation EC380 to deliver up to a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency and productivity. The intelligent new generation electro-hydraulic system (positive) provides on-demand flow and reduces internal losses in the hydraulic circuit, while ECO mode further contributes to outstanding fuel efficiency.

The best mode for the job

Unique Volvo technology incorporates work modes within the throttle control, for optimum performance. When the operator selects a work mode – I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power) – the rpm is already set for maximum efficiency.

Make it count

Make every drop of fuel count with intelligent engine features which eliminate unnecessary fuel consumption, lowering operating costs and reducing environmental impact. Automatic engine idle reduces engine speed to idle when the controls are inactive for a pre-set amount of time. Auto engine shut down automatically switches off the engine when the machine is inactive for a pre-set amount of time.

Stay in the know

Machine features combine with Volvo Services to help monitor fuel usage and keep operating costs to a minimum. Stay in the know with the fuel gauge display, which provides visual information on both real-time and average fuel consumption. Opt for the Fuel Efficiency Report to get clear insights into the fuel performance of a fleet, site or individual machine, helping to identify areas for fuel efficiency improvements.

The EC380 is designed to help operators perform at their best. Boasting the most comfortable cab in the industry, along with a range of features for an enhanced operator experience, the excavator delivers all the comfort and safety you would expect from a Volvo machine.

Industry leading cab
