    45.0 t
  • Max speed:
    57 km/h
  • Max power:
    516 hp

With a 45-tonne payload, explore the unique features and benefits of the only full suspension articulated hauler in the industry.
 

In a class of its own



The A50 takes the proven Volvo full suspension concept to new heights, adding a completely new class of machine to the Volvo Articulated Hauler range. Featuring a 45-tonne payload, look no further than the A50 for faster cycle times, more productivity and lower costs when working over rough terrain such as quarries, mines and large constructions sites.

More productivity, lower costs


When compared to an equivalent standard suspension machine, the full suspension concept offers a dramatic improvement in cycle times. Faster cycle times result in an increase of hauler production per operating hour, as well as the possibility of a reduction in fleet size and reduction in cost per tonne and cost of ownership. What's more the A50 delivers 10% more productivity when compared to the previous generation A45GFS.

45-tonne payload


With extended axle distance, better dynamics and improved geometry, the A50 can manage a 45-tonne payload, all while maintaining a comfortable ride and putting less stress on the components, for greater durability and longevity. The full hydraulic suspension is the optimum choice when working in applications with varying load weights and under-wheel conditions, providing versatility, performance and comfort across diverse operational scenarios.

New Volvo transmission


Unlock full power in all gears thanks to the new Volvo transmission and axles for more power and productivity in your daily operations. With the new Volvo drivetrain, Volvo DNA runs throughout the entire machine resulting in more fuel efficiency, more productivity and Volvo-renowned quality and reliability.

Improved fuel efficiency


The increased payload contributes to an 8% fuel efficiency improvement compared to the previous generation Volvo A45GFS. The result is a reduction in your operating costs and a boost to your bottom line.

Optimum match with EC950


Boost your productivity by combining the A50 with EC950 Volvo Excavator. This ideal match ensures optimized cycle times, maximum efficiency and lower operational costs in even the toughest operating conditions.
