NEW EQUIPMENT
The groundbreaking R100E is
engineered to perform and built
on strong Volvo DNA.”
Volvo DNA
Central to its powerful and efficient performance is the
R100E’s new fully electronic 783kW Cummins QST30 engine
for superior power and fuel efficiency, backed by an improved
‘connected’ drivetrain delivering high torque capabilities,
excellent pulling performance, and class-leading rim pull. The
Volvo Adaptive Shift Control provides automated adaptive shift
schedules for excellent performance and fuel efficiencies in all
operating conditions.
Intelligent monitoring systems such as the on-board
weighing (OBW) option ensures the machine moves the
optimum safe payload to further boost production and
minimise operational costs.
Other features that provide durability, cost-efficiency, and
comfort include a speedy body-tipping system ensuring fast
cycle times for an all-round efficient performance; a new
suspension design and wheel track configuration to absorb
high levels of ground impact shocks; an ergonomic cab layout
for improved operator experience; and a 360-degree visual
system for safe and efficient operation.

TECHNICAL DATA
Vaughan says that the R100E has undergone extensive field
testing at mining sites in both Sweden and South Africa,
with the machine tested in both cold and hot climates and in
hard rock and coal environments. As with all Volvo machines,
the R100E is built to the highest safety standards for the
protection of both the operator and site staff.
Babcock expects the new Volvo R100E — with its focus on
low total cost of ownership at the forefront of its design — to
be a hit in the southern African mining and quarrying sectors.
The three D-Series rigid haulers — the R45D, R60D, and
R70D — are all based on the existing and well-proven Terex
Trucks TR-Series, now with Volvo updates and modifications
to meet the brand’s exacting standards. Covering payload
capacities from 41 to 65 tonnes, the D-series rigid haulers
are designed to reduce fuel consumption while promoting
safe operations and ease of use. Also powered by premium
engines, the R45D, R60D, and R70D rigid haulers achieve
high performance, torque, and up to 567kW power, even at
low engine speeds. With impressive tractive effort, generated
by the complete drivetrain design and configuration, the
R45D, R60D, and R70D rigid haulers are the ideal machines
to traverse the steep slopes often found on mining and
quarrying worksites.
The R100E and the D-Series machines will be backed by
the same aftersales support, immediate access to parts and
qualified service technicians, and well laid out service points
for quick maintenance and increased machine uptime that is
standard for all Babcock-distributed machinery. ■
