Volvo CE will start deliveries of its EWR170E and the larger EW220E compact wheeled excavators - with optional joystick steering – starting in January. The short swing units are the Swedish manufacturer's answer to a growing demand for machinery to operate in increasingly tighter urban spaces and more restricted construction sites - and to do so in an environmentally friendly way.
