Volvo Group Japan's New Hydraulic Dump Trucks

Volvo Group Japan has announced the upcoming release of six innovative models in its hydraulic dump truck lineup, the "Articulate Hauler" series, slated for launch starting in May 2025. This exciting upgrade follows a full model change that hasn't been seen in over a decade and promises to revolutionize the way these trucks operate, particularly in challenging off-road conditions.

The first three models, A35, A40, and A45, will be available for advance sale in May 2025, with the remaining models A25, A30, and A60 hitting the market by July. Designed specifically to improve steering control and straight-line stability on rugged terrains, these new trucks deliver exceptional off-road performance. The introduction of electronic control for dumping operations further enhances efficiency and safety when unloading materials such as dirt and crushed stone.

Enhancements in Comfort and Safety

In terms of cabin design, major improvements have been made to ensure operator comfort and safety. The entry and exit to the cabin have been redesigned for greater accessibility, featuring larger glass windows and a high-performance camera system to enhance visibility. Standard features such as automatic switching between six-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, as well as downhill speed control, are now included, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the terrain.

Maintenance is also a priority, with the new models incorporating a centralized maintenance point under the hood, which reduces operational and servicing costs. An advanced engine oil and high-performance filters will allow for servicing intervals of up to 1,000 hours, maximizing the operational time for users. Moreover, the installation of the "Volvo Co-pilot display" will enable operators to track payload information in real-time, helping to prevent overloading and improving overall efficiency and fuel consumption.

Key Features of the New Dump Trucks

The latest models are equipped with several standout features that are designed with user experience in mind:

Intuitive Cabin Interface

• - Dual Display Setup: All necessary information for operation is displayed on two screens, promoting seamless operation.
• - Enhanced Control with Volvo Co-pilot: The cockpit features an easy-to-use display with a dynamic instrument cluster positioned in front of the steering wheel, promoting a better driving experience.

Designed for Comfort

• - Easy Entry/Exit: New structural designs enhance ease of use while maintaining safety and work efficiency.
• - Enhanced Visibility: A broader field of view, coupled with high-performance cameras and lighting, ensures operational safety in varying conditions.

Maintenance and Operating Cost Efficiency

The new models prioritize convenience and affordability in maintenance. With a grease interval of 250 hours, these trucks significantly lower maintenance frequency, promising easier servicing routines. Enhanced remote monitoring features and maintenance alerts will support proactive servicing, preventing downtime.

The Future of Dump Trucks

Equipped with on-board weighing systems, the new models provide real-time productivity data through technologies like CareTrack telematics, which help operators maximize their efficiency. A flexible software architecture enables timely updates as technology advances, ensuring long-term relevance in the field. Additionally, tailored operator training programs and support for maintenance agreements will further enhance user experience.
