First introduced on its larger, L150H to L260H wheel loaders, Volvo Construction Equipment has expanded what it calls its H-Series 2.0 upgrades to its midsize L60H, L70H and L90H loaders.

The primary benefit to these midsize loaders with Volvo‘s “2.0” updates is up to 25 percent greater fuel efficiency than their predecessor models. Here are the new features Volvo says allows for that reduced fuel use:

 

But these 2.0 updates are not just about fuel savings. Volvo has also increased capability and performance on these machines with changes in the design of key components.

For starters, tipping load has increased by 1.7 percent on the L60H, 1.6 percent on the L70H and by 3.4 percent on the L90H.

Volvo has also increased these machines’ payload capacity through a new loader arm design. Plus, dump height, on the L90H has been increased by 3 inches.
