Chennai: Volvo Construction Equipment (CE) India reinforced its leadership in infrastructure innovation with a strong presence at EXCON 2025, South Asia’s largest construction equipment exhibition. Guided by the theme “Bharosa Har Mod Par – Trust At Every Turn,” the company showcased future-ready, India-centric engineering and sustainability-driven solutions designed to power the country’s next wave of construction, mining, and material-handling growth.

• SD110 Compactor – delivering long-term reliability and high ROI for road building and compaction.
• L120 Electric Wheel Loader – India’s most advanced electric wheel loader now commercially available, underscoring Volvo’s shift toward zero-emission, cost-efficient solutions.
• EC650 Heavy Excavator (pre-launch) – making its first appearance in India, set to redefine standards in large-scale construction and mining operations.

Holistic Service Ecosystem

Beyond equipment, Volvo CE demonstrated its integrated service offerings, including Equipment-as-a-Service, digital machine monitoring, operator skill development tools, productivity management solutions, and live support services. These solutions aim to maximize fleet utilization, minimize downtime, and ensure sustained machine performance.

Commitment to India
