Hyundai Heavy Industries unveils eight Tier 4 / EU Stage IV Compliant Models at INTERMAT 2015
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a leading construction equipment manufacturer, today announced that it showcased 29 construction equipment including the eight brand new Tier 4 / EU Stage IV compliant construction equipment models at INTERMAT 2015, the company said in its press release.
The all-new six HX (Hyundai excavator) excavators, ranging from 22-ton HX220L to 52-ton HX520L, are powered by eco-friendly and fuel efficient engines meeting the Tier 4 / EU Stage IV emission regulations and reducing NOx emission to one-tenth from compatible models.
With 8 to 12 percent improved fuel efficiency in comparison with its previous Robex 9 series, the new excavators feature Eco-Gauge Guidance on the control panel that shows the status of engine torque and fuel efficiency information using colors and gauge level. The HX excavators also have a new boom control function “floating mode” that automatically optimizes boom operations according to the shape of the terrain the excavators operate on.
The HL (Hyundai wheel loader) 955 and HL960 wheel loaders also improved fuel economy by 7 to 10 percent from its previous models with Tier 4 / EU Stage IV compliant engines. The HL’s completely re-designed cabin boasts improved noise and vibration reduction and a more spacious operating room. The new and bigger seven-inch monitor screen enables operators to check easily fuel consumption, weigh measurement and hydraulic control along with the improved connectivity with mobile devices thanks to the mobile device mirroring feature.
INTERMAT is one of the three largest construction equipment events in the world. This year, the triennial exhibition is being held from April 20 to April 25 in Paris, France with the participation of 1,345 companies.
