Volvo Construction Equipment has introduced a Tier 4i/Stage IIIB engine conversion kit that enables Volvo customers to resell their used Tier 4i/Stage IIIB machines for use in less-regulated countries where high-sulfur fuels are used. The conversion kit adjusts the engine system so it can handle high-sulfur fuels up to 10,000 ppm. The first kits are now available for Volvo’s A25-A40 articulated haulers (fitted with D11, D13 and D16 engines) and the L150-L250 wheel loaders (D13 engine). The kits will also be available for the EC340-EC480 excavators (D13 engine) early next year and will become available for Volvo machines equipped with medium-duty engines (D4-D8) throughout 2015.
