Dana shows HVT R3 at INTERMAT

Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems’ HVT R3 is the first of a series of hydro-mechanical variable transmissions resulting from the 50-50 joint venture between Dana and Bosch Rexroth AG. The R3 is for wheeled loaders with engine outputs of up to 265kW and uses a combination of hydrostatic and mechanical drives to offer fuel savings of up to 20%. Cleverly, the HVT R3 will allow the operator to preset a maximum travel speed, or preselect a fixed engine rpm and use the transmission’s characteristics to keep the

RSS2254 Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems’ HVT R3 is the first of a series of hydro-mechanical variable transmissions resulting from the 50-50 joint venture between Dana and 2253 Bosch Rexroth AG.

The R3 is for wheeled loaders with engine outputs of up to 265kW and uses a combination of hydrostatic and mechanical drives to offer fuel savings of up to 20%.

Cleverly, the HVT R3 will allow the operator to preset a maximum travel speed, or preselect a fixed engine rpm and use the transmission’s characteristics to keep the engine working at its most fuel-efficient point.

  • Allison transmission is now offering fully automatic options for off-highway machines
    January 6, 2017
    Allison Transmission is offering a wide range of fully-automatic transmissions aimed at the construction market. The company claims that fully-automatic transmissions deliver driving precision and reduce driver distraction in heavy-duty construction vehicles, when operating on difficult terrain and on steep slopes. The Allison 3000 and 6000 series units suit duties in a wide range of construction applications. The smallest Allison 1000 Series is used in heavy-duty pickup trucks, while the largest 9000 Ser

    Advances in transmission technology will help to optimise machine performance – writes Mike Woof. As construction machines have become more sophisticated, so have the transmission systems used in items of equipment. Advances in electronics and software in particular have allowed the development of integrated transmissions. These operate more efficiently and help optimise power delivery from an engine, boosting torque response and cutting fuel consumption and emissions at the same time. The smart electronics

  • Ammann launches ARX series at INTERMAT
    January 6, 2017
    Ammann’s new range of lightweight tandem rollers includes 13 models with operating weights from 1.2-4.5tonnes. A dedicated 4.5tonne model at the top of the range avoids the need to add ballast to smaller models to increase their operating weights. With better integration between Yanmar engine and Rexroth hydraulic system components, Ammann said the new models can operate at lower engine rpm without compromising on compaction performance. The result is improved fuel efficiency and lower working noise level
