The winner roster will also be displayed online. “Conexpo Con/Agg brings together the industry’s newest technologies and product innovations, and we want to showcase the ‘best of the best’ from the customers’ point of view,” stated Megan Tanel, show director.

The Conexpo Con/Agg Innovation Awards are sponsored by Diesel Progress magazine and global powertrain specialist ZF Friedrichshafen. Each product category includes four machines that a panel of Diesel Progress editors selected as,  “…some of the most interesting examples of machine engineering.”

“The awards are an excellent fit with the show; our exhibitors unveil their product breakthroughs at Conexpo-Con/Agg, and attendees know the show is where they’ll find what they need to work smarter,” Tanel added.

    Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.
