A new series of inline engines has been introduced from Deutz. Badged TCD9, TCD12, TCD13.5 and TCD18, the power unit nomenclature matches that of engine displacement in litres. For the new flagship 18litre TCD18, it means peak power sits at 620kW and is supported with 3600Nm of torque, and it sits above the firm’s TCD16 V8 engine. The all-new TCD9 however, has thrown out the rule book when it comes to cylinder count. Where previously this size engine would have been a six-cylinder, the new TCD9 is a four

FPT Industrial has returned to the drawing board to create a replacement engine for its 3.4litre F34. The resulting F36 packs a 3.6litre capacity as a result of a longer stroke crankshaft, suiting compact machines that require a greater power output. Power and torque are increased over the previous engine said FPT Industrial, but importantly, the new F36 engine’s external dimensions and physical size remains unchanged. Adopting a new design of piston and a revised turbocharger, the longer stroke engine

A pan-European research project is investigating the use of electro-fragmentation to help recycle fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC). Increasingly used in civil applications such as tunnels and bridge decks, FRC can be challenging to recycle because of the difficulty in separating the tiny fibres from the concrete material. “Most of the research into FRC is about the formulation or the application of the material,” Kathy Bru, a process engineer at research organisation BRGM told a forum at the World of Concre

Voegele’s WITOS Paving allows project managers to view site operation data, which helps avoid costly disruptions, the company says. The driver for WITOS is the growing trend for client and contractor to document, in real time, the progress of paving projects. WITOS does this by bringing together the different players on the project - from construction managers to asphalt plant operators and truck drivers. The system ensures greater transparency across the entire paving process. WITOS Paving, for exam
