Features & Benefits

Benefit from up to an 7% increase in fuel efficiency with the advanced hydraulics system, China IV compliant engine and advanced ECO mode.

Hydraulics in harmony

Benefit from up to an 7% increase in fuel efficiency with the advanced hydraulics system. Combined with the fully electronic control system and advanced ECO mode, the hydraulic system has been optimized to work in harmony with the China IV compliant Volvo D6 engine, to match the engine power, reduce power loss and improve controllability and response time.

Get set and go

Keep performance high and costs low with the integrated machine control system. Choose the best work setup for the task at hand by selecting the most accurate engine RPM within a range of nine speeds. The new ECO mode, which uses the latest electronic engine-pump control technology, further boosts fuel efficiency without any loss in performance.

Power up, fuel down

Get the bigger jobs done better, stronger and faster. Equipped with the powerful D6 Volvo engine, delivering high torque at low rpm, the EW205 offers continuous productivity. Cut fuel consumption with the auto idle system, which reduces the engine speed when controls are inactive for a pre-set amount of time. Meanwhile, the optional auto engine shut down helps you save time and money by switching off your machine after a pre-set period of inactivity.

One trip is all it takes

Carry all your tools with you in the large toolbox, conveniently placed between the steps on the side of the machine. With your tools by your side, you can rest assured you have everything you need to adapt to any jobsite. For greater operator convenience, the grease can can be positioned on the other side of the machine, helping you get back to work quickly.

Operate comfortably in the Volvo ROPS cab with seatbelt, packed with an array of features designed to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue.

Comfort counts

Operate comfortably in the Volvo ROPS cab with seatbelt, packed with an array of features designed to maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue. From the adjustable seat, experience all-around visibility and ease of operation thanks to the advanced climate control system and ergonomic controls. Stay informed of your productivity with the user-friendly monitor, which displays all necessary data for a profitable performance.

All angles in view

Ensure ease of travel and mobility – particularly when driving on the road – with the rear and side view cameras. The cameras are fitted to the machine, enabling you to see different angles around the machine. Both views are displayed on the color monitor, creating a more comfortable working environment. Ease of transportation is further enhanced by the cruise control function, helping you stay focused on the road ahead.

Operator convenience and control

Control the machine with just one touch thanks to the ergonomically-designed joysticks. The right control lever controls forward and reverse movements, while the left control lever controls the axle lock. Smooth and responsive movements provide outstanding performance in both single and combined operations. The electro-hydraulic system and main control valve increase control and fuel efficiency, ensuring the right amount of flow is delivered to each operation.

Work with ease

For easy operation and reduced operator fatigue, Comfort Drive Control gives operators the opportunity to steer the machine without needing to take their hands off the joystick, at speeds up to 20km/h (12 mph). A Volvo first, the automatic digging brake lets you get straight to work once you stop. The service brake and oscillation lock automatically engage when the machine speed is at zero.

Built to perform in even the toughest conditions. Engine durability and reliability is further enhanced by the intelligent delayed engine shutdown function

Built to last

Built to perform in even the toughest conditions, the EW205 is packed with durable components, including the rust-resistant silicone caulking, waterproof harnesses and connections and heavy-duty hinges. 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.

Take on the tough stuff

The durable Volvo design and ideally-matched Volvo drivetrain deliver excellent control for smooth travel and superior performance, resulting in high productivity. The strong structure easily absorbs the impacts transferred from the digging equipment, while the reinforced welding between the center and side frames, and the boom and boom cylinder mounts, further enhance durability.

Lifting, loading and grading

Experience best-in-class performance with the reinforced boom and arm, designed to stretch further, dig deeper and reach higher, offering a total reach of 9.7 meters and long-lasting performance. A rigid dozer blade and outriggers optimize machine stability and increase versatility, enabling the excavator to carry out a variety of tasks.

Access more uptime

Servicing is quick and straightforward thanks to anti-slip plates, wide steps and plentiful handrails, plus well positioned guardrails. From ground-level, easily access grouped filters and centralized lubrication points for improved inspection and maintenance. The new splash guard on the UREA tank makes filling quicker and easier, while also reducing the risk of spillage and subsequent corrosion.

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.
