Introducing the all-new Volvo A50 articulated hauler

Boasting faster cycle times than its rivals, as well as superior efficiency and operator comfort, the all-new A50 articulated hauler by Volvo CE is fulfilling a need in the market with its innovative technology, unmatched power and modern design.

With a 45-ton payload, it delivers 10% more productivity and 8% greater fuel efficiency when compared to the previous generation A45GFS – making it an exceptional solution when working over rough terrain such as in quarries, mines and large construction sites.

Improving on innovation

Since Volvo CE pioneered the full hydraulic suspension concept in 2007, countless fleets have been able to revolutionize the productivity and efficiency of their operation thanks to this game-changing feature.

But now the A50 takes the concept to new heights as the only full suspension machine on the market of its size class. As a result, it offers a dramatic improvement in cycle times, an increase in hauler production per operator hour and lower costs when compared to its standard suspension counterparts.

Per Trozell, Product Manager in Sales Region Europe & International said: “We are proud to be further innovating our range of articulated haulers with this new addition to the family. Filling a significant gap in the market, the A50 is the optimum choice for customers looking to achieve more for less, with the same incredible strength and durability that is recognized throughout our full range of articulated haulers.”

High performing power

As part of the new generation update of Volvo articulated haulers, the A50 enjoys all the same great features and benefits.

Most notably, it delivers unrivalled traction and stability thanks to the Volvo drivetrain with Terrain Memory, while the Volvo Dynamic Drive feature, with its predictive gear selection, offers improved comfort and fuel efficiency. The new Volvo transmission and axles also generate greater power and productivity across daily operations.

It has never been easier for operators to focus on the task in hand thanks to the interactive Volvo Co-Pilot display, while visibility is improved and safety enhanced with upgrades including a wider field of vision that exceeds industry standards.

For the A50, service costs are reduced by up to 6% over 12,000 hours of operation due to simplified servicing, longer change intervals and easy component access.

And as with all Volvo articulated haulers, this 45-ton marvel also benefits from a range of Smart Solutions, such as Haul Assist with On-Board Weighing. A suite of supporting digital tools can further boost uptime, reduce fuel consumption, improve site logistics and maximize productivity across the most challenging of tasks.

The Volvo A50 is launched to Europe and North American markets, along with its upgraded siblings.
