This design also improves safety by providing significantly more ground contact. Vibration levels are considerably lower than in conventional machines, and because of the smoother ride, operators experience less fatigue, and efficiency and productivity increase exponentially.

The operator environment

Volvo E-Series articulated haulers are built with a world-class operator environment. Simplified retarder controls and exhaust brakes require less operator input; combined with easier-to-read Contronics information, this allows the operator more time to concentrate on what is going on outside the cab. Automatic traction control is standard on the Volvo A25E and the Volvo A30E for even more simplified operation. Longitudinal differential locks are applied automatically depending on conditions at hand; this allows the operator to focus even more on material delivery.
