Nuremburg Toy Fair Volvo EW160E Update

Today a video surfaced of the Volvo EW160E loader today, uploaded by Zusammengebaut.com which is a wonderful blog. The Eurobricks Forum has a topic dedicated to the loader. To start off, the loader features V2 pneumatics, which entails longer cylinders, redesigned hoses and ports. It is unclear at this moment in time if the hand pump included with this set is of the V2 variety, or a older style. Three valves control the raising of the boom, the knuckle in the arm, and the opening of the bucket. Outriggers are manually controlled, by flipping a piece down, then another piece flips down and the two lock together, this is clearly shown in the video. Steering is controlled by a wheel in the back, the model only features front wheel steering, nothing fancy like the Claas. The front blade's elevation is manually controlled. Same for the cabin, it’s lifted by use of a linkage that’s connected to what appears to be a 24 tooth driven by a worm gear. The loader contains 2 2x11 cylinders and 1 1x5 cylinder. Lego officials at the toy have confirmed that this set is power functions upgradeable, although at this current point in time we are unsure of what specifics can be powered by a motor. This set will cost roughly $100, That’s all the information I have for now, remember if you can dream it, you can build it.
