INDUSTRY-LEADING
PAYLOAD
PRINOTH T7R
Crawler carrier productivity was a key factor
for Prinoth when it developed the Panther
T7R tracked dumper that launched at Bauma
and accordingly the machine boasts the
largest payload capacity in the industry. The
7,000kg maximum payload, combined with
a top speed of 13km/h makes the vehicle
very competitive.
“We have achieved a 31% higher
productivity compared to similar products in
the market, and the whole idea was to have
a compact vehicle that was much lighter than
all the competitors but could get the job done
much faster,” explained Alessandro Ferrari,
member of the board at Prinoth.
Powered by a 4.4-liter, turbo diesel Stage
V/Tier 4 Final, four cylinder engine, new
optimizations in fuel consumption across
the powertrain mean that the T7R can
work through a whole day without the
need for refueling.
Measuring at less than 2.5m, the
10,550kg vehicle complies with standard
transportation regulations so avoids
additional costs, while pavement-friendly
rubber tracks make the logistics of travel
easier for the customer and his operators.
AUTONOMOUS CONCEPT
YANMAR EFUZION
Yanmar provided a glimpse of the future when it
unveiled its fully electric, autonomous concept
vehicle at Bauma, with a demonstration of it
working in a controlled environment.
The eFuzion cabless excavator is an effort on
the Japanese firm’s part to combine the various
projects that its research and development
centers around the world have been
working on.
Yanmar Construction Equipment CEO
Giuliano Parodi; the company’s global
marketing director, Jemylia Raimbault; and
Yanmar’s head of European research, Alessandro
Bellissima, presented the vehicle to an audience
of invited guests.
Parodi said, “We are very proud to announce the
world premiere of what is a concentration of Yanmar’s
capabilities and an intimation about what might appear
in our future machines. It is a concept vehicle that
represents some of our latest technologies in terms
of robotics, in terms of vision and in terms of
autonomous ways of moving.”
In the demonstration that followed the networked,
intelligent vehicle carried out all-electric, autonomous
operations in a specially designed 6m x 6m cube. It
succeeded in its programmed task of building the
Yanmar chevron logo out of small, white polystyrene
balls and larger red plastic balls.
