<span style="font-weight: bold;">A Volvo P4370B paver helped construction contractor Deshmukh &amp; Co finish a 130 km road from Aurangabad to Dhule, in four months.</span> <p></p><p> India is building roads at an unprecedented rate. Since 2014, the country has laid 28,000 km of highways at a cost of nearly Rs 3 trillion. Over the next decade, the country is expected to add 85,000 km more roads under the Bharatmala and Sagarmala infrastructure initiatives. </p><p>One of the latest infrastructure projects is the redevelopment of a 130 km road from Aurangabad to Dhule in Maharashtra. Deshmukh &amp; Co, the Maharashtra-based road construction contractor for the project, says the Volvo P4370B paver is playing a vital role behind the project's quick completion. </p><p> 'Believe it or not, we completed this project in four months. Sounds impossible, doesn't it? But we did it thanks to the Volvo P4370B paver,' said <span style="font-weight: bold;">Balasaheb Deshmukh, Chairman and Managing Director of Deshmukh &amp; Co,</span> which was established in 1986. Manufactured at Volvo's plant in Bengaluru, the P4370B wheeled sensor paver has a basic width of 2.5 m, a rated power of 88 kW and a paving output of 600 t/h. The wheeled sensor paver features intelligent operating technology that helps the machine meet three requirements in line with highway design: mat thickness, mat level and grade requirement. The company says the P4370B's productivity makes it a standout performer. </p><p> 'We average 5 km a day with the Volvo P4370B paver,' Deshmukh said. 'While the P4370B delivers quick work, it doesn't compromise on quality either. Every road is finished smoothly, consistently and flawlessly.' </p><p>The P4370B is one of multiple Volvo machines in the company's fleet, which includes excavators, soil compactors and tandem rollers. Deshmukh &amp; Co purchased the Volvo construction equipment from local Volvo dealer Svenska Technologies. Deshmukh says he appreciates Svenska Technologies' aftermarket services. </p><p>'Volvo machines have high uptime and rarely give us any trouble at all. But when we do need spare parts or service, Svenska Technologies is just a phone call away,' Deshmukh said.</p>
