"The support Volvo CE and its Swedish dealer provides us with is invaluable," Fredrikson said. "Swecon specialists attend the site to demonstrate to our operators how to reduce both fuel consumption and machine wear." Swecon's technicians have the tools and training to service and maintain Volvo CE machinery at peak performance. Using diagnostic technology, these specialists know how to help customers maximize machine uptime, productivity and residual value through routine wear inspections, comprehensive maintenance and repair agreements. Where it's available, the G-Series wheel loader comes fitted with CareTrack, Volvo's telematics system. It provides information for better planning and smarter working— including fuel consumption reports, location reports, fault alerts and service reminders. "CareTrack is very helpful for us to measure the machine's performance," Fredrikson said. "It's helpful to see which machines suit which jobs best, and our operators can also monitor their own performance. Our main goal is to deliver on the promises we make to LKAB—and to do this we need excellent support for our machines to ensure they're in operation as much as possible. Volvo CE offers us this support when we need it." www.e-mj.com
