Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Volvo EC300 Excavator
The Volvo EC300 excavator price in India typically ranges between ₹1.1 – 1.4 crores (ex-showroom). Prices vary by dealer, regional market, configuration and optional attachments. Contact your local Volvo CE dealer for the most current pricing.
The Volvo EC300 L variant has an operating weight of 30,560 kg (67,373 lb) with 600 mm triple grouser shoes, giving a ground pressure of 59.0 kPa. With 800 mm shoes, weight increases to 31,510 kg with ground pressure of 45.6 kPa.
The EC300 is powered by the Volvo D8M — a 6-cylinder, 7.7 L, water-cooled, direct injection engine with turbocharger and V-ACT combustion technology. Net power is 256 HP (188 kW) @ 1,600 RPM with maximum torque of 1,290 N-m @ 1,400 RPM. The engine meets EU Stage V emission regulations.
With the 6.2 m boom and 3.05 m arm, the Volvo EC300 achieves a maximum digging depth of 7,345 mm (24' 1"), maximum ground-level reach of 10,520 mm (34' 6") and a maximum cutting height of 9,990 mm (32' 9").
The Volvo EC300 uses a fully electro-hydraulic (EH) system with a Main Control Valve (MCV) — a new-generation architecture that replaces traditional mechanical pilot circuits with electronic proportional control for all machine functions. This enables precise, responsive implement and travel control, reduces internal oil losses and delivers up to 14% better fuel efficiency compared to conventional hydraulic systems. Two 276 L/min variable displacement piston pumps supply the system. Operators can choose Eco, General or Heavy working modes from the Co-Pilot display.
Volvo Co-Pilot is a 12.8" Full HD touchscreen display fitted as standard in the EC300 cab. It centralises machine settings, working mode selection, fuel consumption data, camera feeds and telematics in one interface. Dig Assist is an optional add-on that provides 2D or 3D machine guidance with bucket-tip positioning, On-Board Weighing for payload management, and is expandable to Volvo Smart View with 360° radar-based obstacle detection for improved jobsite safety.
