Came across this interesting video which briefly tells the story of Volvo construction equipment from the days of Bolinder - Munktell up to todays modern concept machinery ideas.

I am told that there is a very good museum to visit in Eskilstuna too, must make a trip to see it one day!

Interesting video,just hope we have a construction industry left for the new gear to be used.

Great find. Don't want to steal your thunder but I found this on Volvo's website, it's the specs for all past Volvo machines. Some real gems here. Here's the link.
