New engine architecture from Perkins will help the firm deliver emissions solutions to meet future regulations. In Europe the Stage V requirements are being finalised but Perkins says that it will be ready with its new technology.
Cummins Turbo Technologies is revealing to Europe for the first time a new addition to its existing range of large turbochargers for engines of 16litres and above.
The Series 900, being unveiled at INTERMAT, has been designed to meet the diverse duty cycles of this engine range.
The technologies that the complete range offers are suitable for applications from 294-4,707kW.
“We tailor our development process to create solutions that complement our customers’ business strategies and give the optimum l
Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
Sumitomo is now offering its new HA60-11 asphalt paver models, available in wheeled and tracked variants. The firm says that the machines are easy and comfortable to operate, while featuring low noise and exhaust emissions, together with easy maintainability. High performance and low running costs are key features and both variants compete in the 16tonne class.
Concrete is the material of the future because it is sustainable – but only if we think about what will happen to it over the long term when we pour it, says Franck Vialet, associate architect with VIB. Concrete buildings can last 60 years or more, therefore they should be designed for 'upgradability' and recycling – allowing for change of use over time to extend their life.
Concrete is an inherently architectural material, says Vialet, because it is robust, has attractive aesthetic qualities, can be used
