The X15 engine from Cummins delivers more than just power and drivability for offroad machines, it offers reliability and operating-cost reductions through a proprietary, prognostic-based, maintenance-monitoring system says the manufacturer.
Millions of miles of testing data has been analysed by Cummins engineering experts to allow the new engine to deliver life-remaining forecasts on engine consumables including oil, oil filter, stage 2 fuel filter, DPF, and urea filter.
The machine control sector has been lively in recent months with a major acquisition, the unveiling of new software innovation and landmark testing of new technology to monitor paving temperature. Guy Woodford reports The state road construction authority in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt (LSBB Saxony-Anhalt) has become the first nationally to test MOBA’s new PAVE-IR Scan temperature measurement system at a works site.
Construction firms are now delivering roads that are more durable and feature better surface quality due to the use of digital measurement solutions. These technologies help to transfer target values into precise actual values on the ground
