1240 Bell Equipment is showcasing its new generation Bell B30E ADT with Stage IV / Tier 4f compliant engine.

Combining latest engine and drivetrain technology with specific Bell innovations, the 28-tonne B30E and 24-tonne B25E ADTs are said to redefine the standards in productivity, safety and drivers’ comfort for earthmoving and smaller quarrying applications.
“When introducing our new E- Series into the international markets two years ago, we opted for our proven ‘Blu@dvantage’ emission control technology, using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet the transitional Stage IIIB/Tier 4i standards. This approach, with our vehicle’s performance and fuel consumption as the main motivation, was certainly the right decision seeing the successful acceptance of our small trucks in all respective European and American markets,” said Tristan du Pisanie, Bell Equipment's ADT product marketing manager.

The new generations of Bell B25E and B30E are now both powered by the 7.7litre engine, OM936LA, from Mercedes-Benz. The inline-6-cylinder is an EGR engine with minimal re-circulation of cooled exhaust gas into the combustion process. This, in combination with the urea-based SCR after treatment system (Adblue/DEF), is said to ensure efficient emission control without the need for diesel particulate filters (DPF).

The new engine is also claimed to improve the performance of the trucks, with both B25E and B30E featuring Allison transmissions and lockable inter-axle differentials/limited slip axle differentials - the identical drivetrain components of their Stage IIIB / Tier4i predecessors.

Production of the Stage IV / Tier4f compliant models of B25E and B30E started in January 2015 at Bell Equipment’s European ADT plant in Eisenach, Germany. Following the company's commitment to continuous development of its products, the new generation also incorporates improvements in thermal/noise insulation of the cab and new ergonomic features and other small improvements thanks to feedback from customers and dealers.

    January 6, 2017
    Bell Equipment is introducing a 60tonne articulated dump truck, designed to compete with rigid haulers in quarry applications. Currently in prototype form, the B60E uses much of the front chassis and cab from the company’s B50E 50tonner. However behind the articulation joint, the truck has a shortened chassis with a single Kessler rear axle and twin rear wheels. This shorter rear chassis carries a shorter, squarer 35m2 dump body, that offers a similar loading target for excavators and shovels used to rigid

    Stricter emissions legislation mean that new engine technology and integrated drivetrain systems are being developed. With the Tier 3/Stage IIIA emissions legislation now in place in North America and Europe, the major engine manufacturers already have an array of solutions on the market. The coming Tier 4 interim/Stage IIIB legislation will be tougher still and most firms are well in hand with their plans to use both in-cylinder and exhaust after-treatment technology. While engines themselves are staying b

    New engine emission regulations pose major challenges for engine manufacturers - Geoff Ashcroft reports. The arrival of emissions regulations in January for engines over 130kW has meant that engine makers have adopted varied technologies to meet and exceed those goals. For the end user though, buying new kit that complies with Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations is likely to carry additional costs.
