Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has witnessed a remarkable shift over the past few years in the approach to connectivity and digitalisation within the construction and quarrying industries in the Middle East.
To cater to this growing demand and support customers in the Middle East, Volvo CE has taken the significant step of including the hardware for Volvo Co-Pilot with Haul Assist as standard on new articulated haulers, initially in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
This means that every new articulated hauler in these markets will come equipped with the 10-inch Android colour Volvo Co-Pilot touchscreen, along with all the necessary pressure and position sensors to provide real-time operational data to the cab display and the cloud. These components will be installed in the factory, ensuring seamless integration and functionality.
With this inclusion of hardware, customers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE who wish to leverage the benefits of Haul Assist need only to request the local authorised Volvo CE dealer, Al-Futtaim Auto & Machinery Company LLC (FAMCO), to activate the software subscription. This activation can be carried out at any point, allowing customers the flexibility to adopt Haul Assist when they are ready.
