Turbocharger package cuts emissions and boosts fuel efficiency
Cummins’ latest turbocharger innovation has been extended to the 500-series, with an electronically wastegated turbocharger that delivers efficiency gains of up to 8% as a result of changes to the exhaust turbine. By more closely matching turbine wheels to the compressor, greater fuel efficiency is achieveable, said the firm. The 500-series turbocharger is also said to offer improved resistance to oil leakage by 200% over the current industry standard.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe (HHIE) is unveiling the company’s new crawler excavator range.
For the HX220 L, HX260 L, HX300 L, HX330 andHX380 L models, the engineers at Hyundai have utilised the Tier4/ Stage IV emission requirement to re-develop the machines from scratch.
Castrol claims that its latest semi-synthetic engine oil, Hypuron AF, can extend oil drain intervals significantly with the introduction of a new additive pack.
The firm said its 10W30 oil has the ability to double oil drain intervals from the near industry standard 500hours to 1000hours with the use of frequent oil analysis.
It has been drawing on the experience of several US mine and quarry operators who are already achieving 1250hour oil change intervals, who are chasing a target of 1400hour for their
