Core values
Quality, safety and care for the environment are Volvo’s core values
and they are designed from the beginning into the product’s entire
service life. This includes design and engineering, material selec-
tion, manufacturing processes, use and recycling.

Manufacturing
The assembly of the complete machines takes place at one of Vol-
vo Construction Equipment’s production plants. Our production
facilities are all certified according to ISO 14 001. Many of our
components and parts are purchased from external suppliers. Vol-
vo Construction Equipment works closely with these suppliers in
order to safeguard the environmental requirements for purchased
components and parts.

Declarations
• Upholstery and other materials in the cab do not contain mer-
cury.
• Plastics and other interior materials are fire-classed according
to Volvo standard 104-0001.
• Brake pads do not contain cadmium or asbestos.
• The complete machine does not contain any mercury, cadmium
or asbestos.
• If the machine is equipped with air conditioning (option), refrig-
erant type R134A (~1.2 kg) is used.

Paint and surface treatment

In order to reduce solvent emissions, the machines are painted
using high solid paints. To reduce consumption of water and
chemicals, cleaning and recirculation takes place during the pre-
treatment processes in the factories.

Main components Paint type Specification of paint, Chlorine Pre-treatment

Heavy metals

Cab Two component No No Water and alkaline wash

Axles and Transmission Two component No No Water and alkaline wash

Doors and Covers Powder No No Zink-phosphatizing

Frame and Attachment Two component No No Water and alkaline wash

Tanks Powder No No Zink-phosphatizing

Engine/emissions
• The engine is certified at official testing according to EU Direc-
tive 97/68/EC, Stage IIIA
• The engine is certified at official testing according to US re-
quirements: US EPA Tier 3 and CARB US EPA.
In order to achieve the above legal requirements, no after-treatment
of exhausts is required (catalytic converter, particle filter, etc.).
Exhaust emissions are measured as specific emissions in g/kWh
according to ISO 8178-1 and ISO 8178-4, cycle C1. A family
engine (parent engine) is certified within an engine family. The par-
ent engine is the engine with the highest fuel injection volume at
maximum torque. Engines with the same design or similar technol-
ogy will then belong to this family. Therefore, the values required by
law are only given for the parent engine.

Sound levels
If the machine is specified for sale within the EU, it is certified
according to EU Directive 2000/14/EC (external sound level) with
supplement 2005/88/EC. A decal with external sound level and
inner sound pressure is also provided on the machine.

Operator’s environment
Incoming air for the cab first passes through a pre-filter which sep-
arates coarser particles, and then through the main filter in to the
cab. Up to 90% of all air can be recirculated through the main filter.
This creates an overpressure in the cab, which results in a cleaner
work environment.

Service
To facilitate draining and to reduce the risk of spilling engine oil and
hydraulic oil, there are special hoses supplied with each machine.
For bleeding air from axles, transmission and hydraulic oil tank
there is a breather filter to reduce appearance of any oil mist. The
hydraulic tank as well as front and rear axles have a protective valve
in the breather filter, minimizing leakage in case of machine turn-
over/rollover.

Oils and fluids

Ethylene glycol coolant is filled at the factory. Biologically degrada-
ble oil for the hydraulic system is available as an option. The fuel
tank cap seals tightly to prevent fuel leaks in case of machine turn-
over/rollover. For service intervals and other maintenance, see
applicable operator’s manuals for each respective machine model.
All engines have a system for cleaning the crankcase ventilation’s
emissions of oil particles.

Tires (EW140C, EW160C, EW180C, EW210C)

Tires without high-aromatic oils (HA-oils) are available from our
suppliers.

Recycling
Volvo Excavators are designed to be at least 95% recyclable at the
end of their useful working life. Materials can be reused in new Vol-
vo Construction Equipment products. The majority of our plastic
parts are marked for recycling according to Volvo standard 103-
0002; 5052,41; 5052,411, and 5052,412.
