5895 New Holland has launched the first two models in its new C Series range of crawler excavators.

With operating weights ranging from 27 to 31tonnes, the new E265C and E305C models introduce new features that offer new Tier 4 interim engines that are said to deliver more power and up to 10% improvement in fuel efficiency; new high efficiency hydraulic systems that increase productivity by up to 10%; new EVO cab with ROPS/FOPS protection and new joystick controls and new heavy-duty design with reinforced undercarriage.

Seen at the recent 332 Smopyc show in Zaragoza, Spain, the E265C and E305C feature New Holland's Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to meet Tier 4 interim emissions requirements, a solution developed by FPT Industrial that relies on an after-treatment system that breaks down the NOx into nitrogen and water through a chemical reaction with a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

The combustion process is optimised to reduce particulate matter (PM), so that no particulate filter is required, and the SCR system is fully integrated into the design of the excavator with the catalyst in the counterweight and the DEF tank in the new toolbox.

According to New Holland, the completely redesigned hydraulic system offers high hydraulic efficiency, and together with the new engines, results in up to 10% higher productivity in terms of cubic metres per hour.

"The introduction of a new ECO operating mode further enhances the engines' fuel economy, reducing fuel consumption by 10% compared to the B Series," says the company.

The E265C has a bucket capacity of 0.58-1.4m3.while the E305C is.0.6-1.65m3.

The company has also introduced its all-new C Series wheeled loaders (W170C, W190C and W230C), which also rely on New Holland's SCR technology to meet Tier 4 interim emissions requirements.

In addition to the high performance engines, the new models feature four upgraded power modes that allow the operator to match available engine power to the job at hand, maximising engine efficiency and productivity, says the company.

"Additionally, the new optional five-speed transmission with lock-up torque converter provides faster acceleration, quicker cycle times and higher travel speeds.

"The PowerInch progressive transmission declutch allows the operator to easily approach targets atop steep slopes and with high precision, regardless of engine speed, a valuable option for short-cycle loading of trucks or hoppers." New Holland expands its wheel loader offering, introducing a new model in the 20tonne class, the W230C.
