Engineered for efficiency. Fuel efficiency is at the heart of Volvo’s ECR145D and ECR235D. Featuring the Tier 4 Interim engine, ECO mode and improved hydraulics, these machines deliver reduced fuel consumption and cycle times, as well as increased digging performance. Save time and money with Volvo. Regeneration Soot collected by the Diesel Particulate Filter is oxidized every eight hours, depending on application. Volvo’s unique, operator controlled, 25 minute system does not interrupt operation, performance or productivity. For increased safety, regeneration can be postponed. Auto idling system Reduces rpm to idle when the controls are inactive for a specified time – between 3-20 seconds. The length of time is set up via the I-ECU monitor. This system delivers reduced fuel consumption and running costs. Efficient engine Volvo’s fuel efficient Tier 4 Interim diesel engine gives you more power, while consuming less fuel. Benefit from reduced operating costs as well as low emission levels for ultimate efficiency and environmental care. Work modes For added versatility operators can select the best work mode for the task at hand to ensure optimum performance and fuel efficiency.

With strong digging power and various work modes the ECR145D and ECR235D are ideally suited to extracting hard and compact materials. Additional pump flow provides faster cycle times. Trust Volvo to increase your productivity. Idle (I) Mode For reduced fuel consumption and more environmental care, the higher I-stage of the Idle Mode is used for auto idling – which is highly recommended when truck loading. The second stage (lower I-stage) is typically used for warm up and cool down. Fine (F) Mode The Fine control mode provides high hydraulic pressure setting same as power boost function for maximum lifting capability. It is also used for precise grading operation. General (G) Mode The General Mode features three different stages of speed. The highest G setting is recommended for maximum fuel saving and good productivity in digging and truck loading. The middle and low G settings can be used for ditching, levelling, slope finishing and spreading where moderate speed is needed. Heavy (H) Mode H Mode is used for high productivity in intensive and bulk earthmoving applications. It is used for hard digging, trenching and truck loading from deep trenches. 6
