bauma brought together machinery makers and component experts to show modern, efficient mobile design options. Bauma 2025, held recently in Munich, confirmed its reputation as the world’s premier construction-equipment exhibition. More than 600,000 visitors from 200 countries showed up to see the latest offerings from 3,601 exhibitors. The emphasis was on new machines, with a […]
A Segway-like concept for material haulage
In addition to the thousands of new and proven machines on display at this year’s bauma 2025 exhibition in Munich, models and prototypes for next-generation equipment were also a point of focus. For example, on display this year at Liebherr’s InnovationLab was a new concept for hauling material, the S1 Vision. The novel hauler mimics […]
Wheel-loader prototype eliminates the cab
Among the key drivers advancing next-generation construction machinery developments, operator safety remains at the forefront. In one such example at this year’s bauma exhibition in Munich, CASE Construction Equipment presented Impact, a new machine concept that is said to represent a significant step forward in construction technology of the future. Impact is based on an […]
LANDCROS One excavator concept “gamifies” operations
Hitachi Construction Machinery unveiled its vision for the future of construction equipment at bauma with what’s described as a pioneering excavator concept, LANDCROS One. This machine development represents a fundamental shift in how machinery interacts with operators, job sites, and the broader construction ecosystem, said company officials. In collaboration with Granstudio, an automotive and mobility […]
Autonomous driving system wins innovation award
The International bauma Innovation Award honors cutting-edge technology developments related to construction and mining machinery and processes. The show organizers award the prize to research and development teams from companies and universities around the world that are bringing practical leading technology to market readiness while focusing on resources, the environment and people. Winner of the […]
Innovation awards highlight mobile hydraulics
Intermat 2024, the major construction-equipment exhibition taking place this week in France, is hosting around 1,000 manufacturers of mobile machines, tools, accessories, controls and software. One highlight of the show is the Intermat Innovation Awards, which shines the spotlight on exhibitors’ equipment, products and services that contribute to progress in the construction and materials industries. […]
Intermat looks to the future
Intermat, the largest construction equipment show in the western hemisphere this year, opened today at Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center. Held every three years, the event is being billed as the Sustainable Construction Solutions and Technology exhibition. “Focusing on the unavoidable issue of low carbon for the construction industry, the 2024 edition aims to constitute […]
Fossil-free worksite significantly cuts emissions
At the halfway point of Sweden’s largest fossil-free job site, productivity and emissions-reduction goals have exceeded expectations. The 100-year-old “Slakthusområdet” area of Stockholm city center, also known as the meat-packing district, is being transformed to provide 3,000 new homes as well as retail and office spaces. As a testbed for innovation and emission-free construction equipment, […]
Will AI soon predict internal cylinder leakage?
Electrohydraulic actuators are standalone, self-contained systems that perform powerful tasks without external piping. They typically include an electric servomotor driving a hydraulic pump — often an axial-piston unit. Other components include a hydraulic cylinder, tank, valving and charging circuits. Because they are fitted with their own closed fluid circuit, they require only a small amount […]
Differential lock valves improve fuel efficiency and control
For decades, spool-type flow dividers have proven themselves well in the differential locks of hydraulic traction drives. In recent years, however, the demands of mobile machine operators have risen to a new level. For example, market requirements now include: • More intuitive operation. • Better vehicle control, particularly when driving under difficult conditions. • Optimization […]
