255 JCB will be showing its LiveLink telematics system, which is now fitted as standard on 80% of its products sold across Europe.

The company has been steadily increasing both the number of machines and the number of countries covered by telematics systems. From the start of 2012, JCB’s 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders, side-engined telescopic handlers and tracked and wheeled excavators have been fitted with the JCB LiveLink system. JCB LiveLink is also standard across Europe on all wheeled loading shovels above 8tonnes operating weight.

JCB chief innovation and growth officer Tim Burnhope said: “The benefits of JCB LiveLink are many-fold: not only does it offers customers improved visibility of their fleet, it also provides detailed performance and operational information which allows business owners to run their operation even more efficiently and cost-effectively.

“Importantly, it also protects machines from theft and this enhanced level of security can result in reduced insurance premiums as well as greater peace of mind.”

JCB LiveLink provides a telematic link to JCB’s machines which gives customers real-time location information, with curfew and ‘geo fence’ alerts as defence in the fight against thieves. If a machine is removed, the customer immediately receives a series of email alerts. Out-of-hours alerts can also be sent by SMS. In addition JCB LiveLink monitors the health of the machine as well as machine hours and performance.

    JCB says its Ecomax Stage 4/Tier 4 Final engine can be engineered into many existing machines without needing additional space by using a ‘one can’ selective catalytic reduction (SCR). According to the company’s chief technology officer, Tim Burnhope, in many cases the mini SCR on the Stage 4/Tier 4 Final Ecomax engine can be positioned in the same space occupied by the exhaust silencer on previous generations. He said, “Our engine is already so clean that we only need 2% to 3% of urea, which allows us to u

    JCB will launch 427 and 437 wheeled loaders at Bauma, powered by Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Cummins engines. First seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, the two loaders are powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 engine, which offers a 9.4% increase in torque over the previous model. This drives through a lock-up converter and customers can choose a standard four-speed or optional five-speed transmission, which delivers a 16% drop in fuel consumption. In-cab noise levels have been reduced to just 68dB(A
