Features & Benefits

With a reinforced heavy-duty boom and arm built from high strength tensile steel, count on maximum machine uptime and performance whatever the application.

Boom and arm

Maximize machine uptime and performance for any job application with the reinforced heavy-duty boom and arm built from high strength tensile steel. Designed for maximum reliability in even the most severe conditions, steel strips are welded under the arm for added protection and various boom and arm configurations are available to suit any bucket size or application.

The operator’s choice

Take on the most demanding working environments from the comfort of Volvo’s industry-leading cab. The low noise cab provides ample storage and leg room, 12 air-conditioner vents and adjustable seat, keeping the operator fresh, alert and focused – longer. Ergonomically positioned interfaces – including the joysticks, keypad and LCD monitor – clear all-around visibility and rear-view camera helps you share the strong, work-all-day feeling your machine has.

Easy service access

Maximize uptime with quick and safe servicing. Essential maintenance points are easily accessed via the wide-opening and conveniently located compartment doors using central and surrounding walkways.

Keep on digging

Built with protected components, including a strong frame structure and full track guard as standard, the machine can be relied on for longevity and sustained uptime in demanding applications. The optional FOG (Falling Object Guard) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) certified cabs provide added safety and durability.

Work anywhere

The machine’s high travel motor output and durable track ensure impressive tractive force when climbing gradients and travelling over unstable ground. Operators can work on adverse terrains with ease in the well-balanced and solid machine, which features a wide track gauge, long track length, a retractable undercarriage, and an optimized counterweight.

Benefit from a 2.5% improvement in fuel efficiency thanks to a host of efficiency boosting technology.

More fuel efficiency

Benefit from a 2.5% improvement in fuel efficiency thanks to a range of efficiency-enhancing technologies. New generation electro-hydraulic system, selectable work modes and automatic engine idle/shutdown combine to take fuel efficiency to the next level.

Total control

For a more productive and fuel-efficient operation, the new generation electro-hydraulic system (positive) puts superior control in the operator’s hands. Utilizing intelligent technology, the easy-to-use systems controls on-demand flow and reduces internal losses in the hydraulic circuit. What’s more, the EC950 comes with a boom-swing priority valve

ECO Mode

Achieve outstanding fuel efficiency with Volvo’s unique ECO Mode. ECO Mode optimizes the hydraulic system to reduce loss of flow and pressure – resulting in improved fuel efficiency without any loss of performance in most operating conditions.

Make it count

Make every drop of fuel count with intelligent engine features, such as automatic engine idle and auto engine shutdown, which eliminate unnecessary fuel consumption, wear, lowering operating costs and reducing environmental impact. Engine durability and reliability is further enhanced by the intelligent delayed engine shutdown function, which turns the machine off when the turbo charger has cooled down to the appropriate temperature.

The right mode for the job

Achieve optimum fuel efficiency and machine performance with Volvo’s unique, integrated work mode system. Maximizing efficiency, the system allows operators to choose the best work mode for the task at hand - select from I (Idle), F (Fine), G (General), H (Heavy) and P (Power max).

Providing outstanding levels of productivity and efficiency, the China IV compliant Volvo D16 engine has been proven through the world for almost 10 years.

Powered by Volvo

The China IV compliant Volvo D16 engine has been proven throughout the world since 2014. With technology that has been tested and enhanced for almost 10 years, this is an engine which customers can rest assured will deliver outstanding levels of productivity and efficiency.

More productivity

Powered by Volvo’s advanced electro-hydraulic technology, the EC950 delivers up to 7% more productivity compared to the previous generation. More digging force, more tractive force and a 7% increase in bucket capacity all combine to ensure maximum productivity whatever the task at hand.

Get more done in less time

Cut cycle times to a minimum with the fully electro-hydraulic system. The optimized hydraulics system increases pump power for a fast and smooth operation.

Your partner in the cab

Unlock the full potential of your machine’s productivity with Dig Assist, powered by the 10” Volvo Co-Pilot display. Gain access to a set of smart apps designed to optimize the digging process, including 2D, 3D, In Field Design and On-Board Weighing

Machine monitoring made easy

Maximize machine uptime and reduce repair costs with the new Pulse telematics system. Choose to keep track of your machine yourself – including location, condition, reports and more – or let us take care of it with Volvo Active Care. Our Volvo Uptime Center will provide 24/7 machine monitoring, supplying weekly reports and notifying you should preventive maintenance action be required.
