Wirtgen Group’s smart synergies at bauma 2019

The Wirtgen Group is the global trendsetter when it comes to innovative road construction machinery – a fact which will be highlighted by the company’s approximately 120 exhibits and 13 000 m² of exhibition space at bauma 2019. This year, the group’s slogan for the trade show is “Smart Synergies and Innovations,” and in this vein, Wirtgen’s booth will show- case its compatible product solutions and application processes that enable customers to meet the challenges of road construction in a cost-effective manner while producing high-quality results. In this context, bauma will be the first time that the Wirtgen Group will be exhibiting at a joint booth together with John Deere (booth number FS.1011). Wirtgen will be presenting world pre- mieres and innovations from every product segment – showcasing cost-effective premium solutions for cold milling, cold recycling, soil stabilisation, concrete paving, and surface mining. Vögele will be unveiling its new flagship – the SUPER 3000-3i that, thanks to its SB 350 fixed-width screed, is capable of paving at a width of up to 18 m – as well Terex Trucks’ recently updated TA300 articulated hauler will soon be making its first international tradeshow appearance at bauma Munich 2019. The Terex Trucks team will be at the event, which runs from April 8-14, to show visitors how the company’s two ar- ticulated haulers – the TA300 and TA400 – deliver low total cost of ownership and high productivity at jobs including large- scale construction projects, infrastructure developments and quarries. “bauma is the world’s leading construc- tion machinery trade fair, and as such, it’s a showcase of virtually every machine in the industry – but for Terex Trucks, it’s all about the articulated hauler,” says Paul Douglas, MD of Terex Trucks. “The articulated hauler is the only product Terex Trucks manufactures – so therefore we are able to focus all our at- tention on the machine. We are the experts in all things articulated hauler. That’s one of the key messages we want to get across at bauma 2019: we specialise in robust, re- liable articulated haulers. We will also be discussing the investments and improve- ments we have made in our product line and our growing dealer network. All of this, which is underpinned by our long-standing expertise in the field, has helped us to

make sure our articulated haulers are even more productive and reliable. Terex Trucks is the strongest it’s ever been.” Since August, the TA300 has incorpo- rated the new EP320 transmission, which comes with two additional forward gears – eight in total – as well as four reverse gears. This helps to ensure smoother gear shifting and thereby superior operator comfort. In addition to this, the TA300

now delivers a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency, as well as enhanced perfor- mance, productivity and operator comfort. It also now comes with long life transmission fluid, which has helped to increase the length of time between oil maintenance intervals from 1 000 to 4 000 hours. The hauler’s maximum speed has also increased to 55 km/h (34 mph), up from 50 km/h (31 mph). b
