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.

  • Ammann launches ARX series at INTERMAT
    April 17, 2012
    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

  • JCB adds to Stage IIIB wheeled loader line
    January 6, 2017
    JCB has introduced two additional Stage IIIB-powered wheeled loaders, the 427 and the 437. Replacing the 426 and 436, the loaders use a Cummins QSB engine, which meets the requirements of Stage IIIB without the need for a diesel particulate filter or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). A variable geometry turbocharger improves response, while an optional five-speed powershift transmission with intelligent clutch cut-off system helps to reduce fuel consumption.
