Core values
Along with quality and safety, caring for the environment is one of
Volvo’s core values. This means that Volvo Construction Equip-
ment works with an overall perspective of the products that
extends throughout their entire life cycle. This includes engineering
and design, material selection, manufacturing processes, use, and
recycling.

Manufacturers
Manufacturing of the main components transmissions, drive axles,
and cabs as well as assembly of complete loader takes place at
Volvo Construction Equipment’s production facilities. All of these
are certified according to ISO 14001. A lot of our components
and parts are purchased from suppliers. We work in close coop-
eration with our suppliers to ensure that purchased components
and parts meet our environmental requirements.

Declarations
• Upholstery or other interior in the cab does not contain mercury.
• Plastics and other interior materials are fire-classed according
to Volvo standard 104-0001.
• Brake pads do not contain mercury, cadmium, or asbestos.
• Tires do not contain highly aromatic oils (HA-oils) in the tread.
• The whole machine does not contain any cadmium or asbestos.
• Refrigerant of the type R134A (1,8-2,1 kg/4.0 - 4.6 lbs) is used
if the machine is equipped with air conditioning (option).

Paint and surface treatment

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

L60F–L220F Paint type Chlorine Pre-treatment

Cab Powder No Zinc-phosphatizing

Axles and Transmission Water-based No Iron-phosphatizing

Frame Solvent Yes Iron-phosphatizing

L350F Paint type Chlorine Pre-treatment

Cab Powder No Zinc-phosphatizing

Axles Primer: Top coat: No Blasting

Phenol-alkyd paint (solvent-based) Polyurethane paint (solvent-based)

Transmission Solvent No Degrease

Frame Solvent Yes Blasting

Use phase
Engine/emissions
• The engine is certified through official testing according to EU
Directive 97/68/EC, stage 3A.
• The engine is certified according to US requirements: US EPA
Tier 3 and California Tier 3.
No aftertreatment of exhausts (catalytic converter, particle filter,
etc.) is needed in order to fulfill legal requirements. Exhaust emis-
sions are measured as specific emissions in g/kWh according to
ISO 8178-1 and ISO 8178-4, run cycle C1. All engines fulfill the
legal requirements as outlined below.

Legal requirements for exhaust emissions

Emission levels NO x + HC (g/kWh) PM (g/kWh) CO (g/kWh) Power range (kW)

EU Directive 97/68/EC, Stage 3A 4.0 0.3 5.0 75-130

The load-sensing working hydraulics contribute to lower fuel con-

sumption by demand controlled hydraulic oil flow.

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 environment
Incoming air from the cab first passes a pre-filter which separates
larger particles and then passes via the main filter in to the cab. 60-
90% of all air recirculates and is filtered again. Approx. 10% is
always fresh air, this gives an overpressure in the cab, making sure
that no air enters the cab except through the filter system. This pro-
vides a cleaner working environment. All air, both recirculated and
fresh air, is always filtered in the main filter.

Service
Service
• Special hoses are supplied with the machines to facilitate
draining and to reduce the risk of spilling engine oil and hydrau-
lic oil.
• There is a breather filter to reduce oil mist for venting axles,
transmission, and hydraulic oil tank.
• Front and rear axles as well as hydraulic tank have a protective
valve in the breather filter to minimize leakage in case of a roll-
over or turn-over.
• The tank cap closed tight to prevent fuel leaks in case of a roll-
over/turn-over.
• All engines have a system for cleaning the crankcase ventila-
tion’s emissions of oil particles.
• For service intervals and other maintenance, see the Operator’s
Manual for each machine model.

Oils and fluid

Ethylene glycol coolant is filled at the factory. Biologically degrada-
ble oil for the hydraulic system is available as an option. Volvo Con-
struction Equipment recommends the following:
• Volvo Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
If the Volvo oil is not available, please contact your Volvo dealer.

Recycling
Recycling
Thoroughly planned recycling of the machine is the foundation for
ending the life cycle and for being able to recycle materials for use
in new Volvo wheel loaders or other products. According to our cal-
culations, the machine is recyclable to 95% by weight. The majority
of our plastic parts are marked for recycling according to Volvo
standard 103 0002; 5052,41; 5052,411, and 5052,412.
The materials included in machines are divided into the following
approximate weights:
