From Secmair comes an innovative solution to road repairs in the shape of its new GreenSwift machine. This versatile unit is designed to carry out spray emulsion duties or chipsealing but is also equipped with an arm that allows it to be used for filling in potholes.
This novel design increases versatility for road repair work as a single machine can be used for emulsion spraying, chipsealing and pothole patching. Using conventional equipment, contractors would require two separate machines to handle th

Following a successful trial at eight locations across London in June 2010, pedestrian countdown technology will be rolled out at pedestrian crossings throughout the UK capital, giving pedestrians a clearer idea of how long they have left to cross the road. The digital displays count down the time between the green man symbol going out and the red man appearing. This helps make it clear to pedestrians how much time they have left to cross the road safely. The roll-out will see the technology installed at ar
Cummins is developing an all-electric powertrain for use in off-highway applications. This move follows the firm’s acquisition of the electric drive specialist Brammo. The system is designed to suit applications such as urban or underground duties, where it is necessary to minimise engine emissions. The package combines battery power with a compact diesel engine, linked directly to a generator. This offers a range-extended vehicle driveline (REEV). The prototype being unveiled utilises a 4litre F3.8 diesel
