Ammann’s electric asphalt paving innovations offer upgraded performance levels

Ammann is offering a new range of asphalt pavers, with its electric machine being the star performer

Ammann is offering a full range of pavers, with its new all-electric eABG 4820 model taking centre stage. Also new is the ABG 5420 paver, which benefits from a series of performance upgrades while retaining the firm’s highly effective screed design.

The electric paver has many similarities with its diesel sister, the ABG 4820, a 2.5m-wide paver that can accommodate a screed length of up to 6.5m. It looks the same, has the same screed, the same user interface – Electric Pavement Management 3 (EPM3) - and the same street-level control panels at either side. However, it weighs in at around one tonne heavier.

Internally, there are huge differences: “We took out the diesel engine and whole drive system and added two electric motors to give good and efficient power balancing,” explains Hans-Juergen Vogel, product manager at Ammann. “Also, we have made tweaks to the hydraulic system so that it will work well with the two motors. The machine software, everything that relates to the control of the machine, is also new.”

The eABG 4820 also benefits from tried and tested electronic components developed by Volvo Penta for its electric construction plant, with the firm supplying these components to Ammann in a partnership deal.

    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and
