Welcome to our sustainability series featuring leaders from Cummins, Volvo Construction Equipment, and Topcon Positioning Systems. In this episode, we tackle the crucial questions surrounding the costs and essentials of sustainability in construction and quarrying.

We explore what sustainability truly costs, the essential infrastructure needed, and how support capabilities will be developed and financed. Join the conversation on how the implementation of new technologies affects the overall cost of ownership.

A customer in Guatemala has bought a second Lintec & Linnhoff continuous asphalt mixing plant from equipment dealer Guasueca. The new Lintec CDP14001M plant joins the customer’s existing Lintec CDP5001M, the smallest in this range. As soon as the new plant had been delivered to the customer, it was sent to support road improvement projects in Cobán, central Guatemala, over 200km from Guasueca’s HQ in Guatemala City.

Starting in the first quarter of 2024, Caterpillar will develop a transient-capable system for off-highway applications. The project will demonstrate how state-of-the-art control systems and electric-hybrid components can help hydrogen-fueled engines meet or exceed traditional diesel engines' power density and transient performance.

The first of the new generation Liebherr concrete batching plants is going into operation at a+b Asphalt- und Betonmischwerke in Germany. The novel Betomix and Mobilmix batching plants from Liebherr benefit from a modular design. Plug-in modules are said to allow greater mobility when relocating the plant. The modular design means that customers benefit from are range of configuration options, short lead times, fast assembly and high parts availability.

Equipment from Dynapac is allowing contractor Skanska to carry out compaction without emissions. The contractor has been trialling Z.ERA CC900 e tandem vibratory rollers from Dynapac.

The performance of the electric machines was put to the test during its deployment with Skanska ine. Charging was said to be easy and quick in public and easy-to-reach locations such as filling stations and local charging ports. 
Skanska personnel also said that the electric compactors matched the performance of conventional diesel units, with no differences in compaction results.
