Of the many new machines seen at the recent BICES 2015 construction equipment exhibition in Beijing, a number of firms were notable for their innovations. LiuGong, Shantui, Sunward and XCMG all offered particular developments in earthmoving technology that stood out from the array of more conventional equipment. All of these firms also showed more standard machines, as did other rivals
The latest developments in machine control technology will deliver major gains in quality and productivity. Machine control technology plays an increasingly important role in construction. The pace of development has been fast, with new systems offering major gains in both productivity and quality across a range of applications. At the recent CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 exhibition in Las Vegas, key advances were unveiled in machine control technologies suited to markets such as earthmoving, concrete paving and pil
A combination of engine and driveline technologies will reduce fuel consumption and increase performance in new generation, low emission machines
A wide array of new engine and driveline technologies being developed will help reduce emissions and fuel consumption, while increasing performance in the
latest machines coming to market. With engine manufacturers focussing on the Tier 4 Interim/ Stage IIIB and following Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions requirements for North America and Europe, sophisticated
