SMARTER, STRONGER, FASTER
The new H-series L180 is more efficient, more productive and more intelligent than the former G-series. Achieve up to 15% greater fuel efficiency, thanks to a powerful engine, second generation OptiShift and new dry P-Brake. To boost productivity by up to 10%, the L180H has also been upgraded with a new transmission, new converter and revised gear ratio.
New generation OptiShift
For improved cycle times and reduced fuel consumption, customize the lock-up engagement of your machine, with new generation OptiShift. The improved technology integrates the Reverse By Braking function and the new torque converter with lock-up, creating a direct drive between the engine and transmission.
Boost your productivity by up to 10%
For ultimate stability and high efficiency, the H-series wheel loaders have been upgraded with a new transmission, which works in harmony with the engine and axels. The new converter delivers increased torque output, resulting in better performance at low speeds. For faster acceleration and smooth operation, the steps between gears have been reduced.

Torque Parallel linkage
For strength in demanding applications, Volvo’s unique Torque Parallel (TP) linkage provides high breakout torque and ultimate parallel movement throughout the entire lifting range. The linkage offers stability during loading and carrying and allows easy filling of the buckets.
