With a range of new products on display, Case explains how its graders and excavators can help operators all over the world across a range of sites and the most difficult terrains – from the start of a job to the finish.
What sort of key trends will be on show, and how will these new technologies shape the sector over the coming years? Alan Dron interviewed Al Cervero, the AEM senior vice-president for construction, utility and mining on how the show will reveal what is coming. The theme for this year’s event is “Imagine what’s next”, a particularly appropriate title in view of the changes in both technology and the environment in which that technology will be used.
CASE is offering advanced driver assistance systems for its wheeled loaders. These are designed to enhance safety, efficiency and productivity on the job site. The new systems include better visibility, obstacle and hazard perception, AI-based driving assistance and semi to fully-autonomous loader operations.
More efficient and productive compaction solutions are coming to market shortly, Mike Woof reports. Several key trends are emerging in the asphalt compaction market with the development of the latest generation machines.
