Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has launched its newest 9-m paver in India, the P6820C ABG. The unit offers a winning combination of power, production capacity, and precision for excellent paving quality, with perfectly smooth mats, according to the company. This new tracked paver is powered by Volvo?s D6E COM IIIA/EPA Tier 3 engine. The paver is considerably more powerful than its predecessor, while providing lower fuel consumption and less noise.

Dimitrov Krishnan, Vice President and Head of Volvo CE India, said, ?We are seeing more interest in equipment at the lower end of the scale as construction of smaller roads in more rural areas gathers pace. This reflects a maturing of the road network in India with many major routes now well into development, requiring work on the byways which will feed the arterial roads. The new mid-sized P6820C perfectly addresses this issue, offering an ideal combination of productivity and flexibility.?

On the special feature of the new paver, he added, ?This series comes with a lot of Volvo features. The P6820C is a powerful machine, which gives a very good control on laying the mat and is productive which can do 700 tonne per hour. So, power, precision and productivity are the main capabilities of this machine.?

The P6820C is fitted with an emission-compliant engine. Fuel consumption is further reduced when the operator uses smart power mode, which lowers engine RPM to match power and demand, resulting in fuel savings of up to 30 per cent. Reduced noise levels can also be attributed to sound lowering components and a robust frame.
