Volvo CE has marked a milestone in Thailand with the delivery of its first New Generation SD120 soil compactor.
The delivery was completed in partnership with Volvo CE’s authorised dealer in Thailand, Chairatchakarn Bangkok (CHAB), and supplied to local contractor Gabion (Thailand), a returning customer with an expanding Volvo fleet.
The SD120 was delivered as part of a fleet package alongside a New Generation EC210 excavator, reflecting Gabion (Thailand)’s continued confidence in Volvo CE machines and aftersales support.
The customer had previously purchased two EC210 units in 2025 and reported satisfaction with machine performance and service support, factors that influenced the decision to invest in the new compactor model.
This latest order follows the official launch of the New Generation SD120 range at CHAB’s customer expo in February 2026, where the machine was introduced to the Thai market.
Growing demand for compaction solutions
The delivery comes amid increasing demand for compaction equipment in Thailand across road construction and maintenance projects. Since Q4 2025, CHAB has seen strong momentum in this segment, reflecting increased activity in infrastructure development.
To support this demand, CHAB has ordered a total of eight SD120 units from the factory, with four units already delivered and the remaining four scheduled for delivery this month.
Designed for productivity and reliability, the SD120 soil compactor delivers efficient performance across a range of compaction applications.
Key features include improved fuel efficiency and Volvo CE’s CareTrack telematics system, enabling real-time machine monitoring and proactive maintenance support.
Volvo CE Head of Market Thailand, Dwi Prihartono, said Thailand was an important market for Volvo CE, with strong demand for efficient and reliable compaction solutions.
“The delivery of our first SD120 soil compactor reflects the growing opportunities in infrastructure development and the confidence customers place in Volvo machines and services,” he said.
