Following the first of a planned 1000 customer events and seminars in China this year, Volvo Construction Equipment landed orders for 102 crawler excavators.
The event was held at the company's Test and Technology Support Center in Shanghai, and was hosted by Shanxi Woyuan Construction Equipment (SXWY), Volvo's dealer for Shanxi Province in Northern China.
According to Volvo, the orders resulting from the open day were for models ranging from its 21 tonne class EC210 to the 70 tonne EC700, with one customer ordering 10 machines.
Models from the EC210 to the EC360 are produced at Volvo's plant in Shanghai, while larger machines are imported from its main excavator factory in Changwon, Korea.
As urban construction becomes more restricted and operator expectations rise, compact excavators are taking on a more strategic role across contractor fleets
