Hybrid technology for Hamm’s HD+ 90i PH tandem roller goes on show
April 23, 2018
Hamm is claiming a first with its hybrid 9 tonne HD+ 90i PH tandem roller. The German manufacturer believes that it is the first roller manufacturer to develop a production-ready machine. Most hybrid solutions, as in the case of cars, combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Hamm has instead combined an internal combustion engine with a hydraulic system for the tandem roller. Although the maximum load is used regularly for compacting, it is always just for a few seconds at a time.
