Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has achieved another milestone in Thailand with the delivery of the first two New Generation EC360 excavators, further strengthening its presence in the market through authorised dealer Chairatchakarn Bangkok (CHAB).

This delivery follows a series of successful New Generation excavator launches and customer engagement events held throughout the year, underscoring strong market interest in the New Generation machines. It also represents another important step forward for CHAB, which has already built strong momentum in Thailand with the introduction of the New Generation EC210 and EC220 excavators.

The New Generation EC360s were handed over to Southern Group, making it the first customer in Thailand to operate the 36-t excavator. The company operates extensively within Thailand’s mining and quarry sectors, managing multiple projects across several regions, with a strong footprint in the southern part of the country.

“This first delivery of the New Generation EC360s is an important milestone for Volvo CE in Thailand,” said Dwi Prihartono, head of market Thailand at Volvo CE. “It reflects the growing confidence customers have in our New Generation excavators and highlights the strong collaboration with our authorised dealer, CHAB, as we continue to expand our footprint and support customers with machines designed for productivity, efficiency and reliability.”

The EC360 is part of Volvo CE’s New Generation excavator lineup, offering enhanced fuel efficiency, improved operator comfort and robust performance in tough working conditions. The machine is well-suited for mining, quarrying and heavy-duty earthmoving operations.

“The delivery of the first two New Generation EC360 in Thailand is a proud moment for CHAB,” said Nunnapin Petcharapirat, CEO of CHAB. “Southern Group shared positive feedback on the machine’s performance, particularly its strong productivity and lower fuel consumption, which are critical for demanding mining and quarry applications.”

“This reinforces our confidence in the New Generation lineup,” added Ms Petcharapirat, “and our commitment to delivering solutions that create real value for our customers.” Besides the two EC360s, CHAB also provided a full fleet package to Southern Group, comprising two EC210 excavators and one EC220 excavator.
