Emissions legislation is one factor driving the introduction of new compaction machines for Europe and North America, while customers in other markets are also benefiting from new technology - Mike Woof writes. The phased introduction of new exhaust emissions requirements for construction equipment being used in Europe and North America have had a major impact on new model development. In the asphalt compactor segment, manufacturers have had to redesign machines to pack in the latest emissions control techn
High productivity and value for money are two benefits claimed by the new generation of soil compactors - Mike Woof reports. The market for soil compaction machines looks to be growing more competitive as new manufacturers enter the sector. This is particularly noticeable now that Chinese firm LiuGong has moved into the sector. Meanwhile new design concepts are also allowing firms to develop much larger and more powerful machines than ever before. The choice for contractors is a wide one and manufacturers a
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
