DEVELON’S appearance at this year’s Intermat exhibition in Paris will feature the first demonstration of the manufacturer’s Concept-X 2.0 remotely controlled construction equipment solution in Europe.
This will involve the DD100-CX autonomous dozer and DX225-CX autonomous crawler excavator.
The Develon stand will show new solutions for carbon reduction, covering both zero emission and reduced emission technologies.
Being premiered at Intermat, the DX20ZE mini-excavator is the first mass-produced electric-powered digger manufactured by Develon. The two-tonne machine combines low-noise and zero emissions with the features found on the next generation DX-7 Series family.
Alongside the DX20ZE will be the 14W-EREV electric concept vehicle. This electric wheeled excavator is designed with a regenerating drive system (eDrive), advanced swing system (eSwing) and eWorking systems.
Completing the Future Energies Area of the display will be the DL250-FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) which has a single platform design that allows it to be equipped with a fuel cell powerpack running on hydrogen, but offers the ability to transition to a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) by installing a battery pack.
Develon added that it will also be showing a number of reduced emission solutions based on fuel saving technologies and the use of bio-fuels such as HVO and GTL. The technologies include the first appearance at Intermat in the demonstration area of the company’s Concept-X 2.0 DD100-CX cabless dozer and DX225-CX cabless crawler excavator. Another fuel saving system on show is the 3D-control being used to operate the Concept-X 2.0 excavator and dozer and for the DD130-7 dozer and DX85R-7 mini-excavator.
Develon said ‘significant’ fuel savings are available via the CVT transmission in the DL420CVT-7 wheel loader, which will be in the demonstration area of the stand, equipped with the Transparent Bucket safety system, which is also being shown at Intermat for the first time. The Transparent Bucket is described as the first safety system of its type to provide a solution to prevent the danger of blind spots in front of the buckets of wheel loaders.
An additional fuel saving feature is the Virtual Bleed Off (VBO) hydraulic system (D-ECOPOWER) being shown on the latest version of the DX530LC-7K 53-tonne crawler excavator. Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) technology will also be highlighted, with the system installed on the Concept-X 2.0 cabless excavator at Intermat.
Under the Going Green banner, the Develon stand will demonstrate the compatibility of the company’s machinery for use with HVO and Gas To Liquid (GTL) diesel.
A large area of the static display section will be dedicated to Develon’s new range of compact equipment including the new DTL35-7 compact track loader. Visitors will also see the DD130-7 dozer for the first time, heralded as offering a wide range of features providing a productive fine-grading solution for residential and light commercial construction projects.
New Develon mini-excavators being shown for the first time at Intermat include the DX10Z-7 1.16-tonne, DX17Z-7 1.85-tonne, DX27Z-7 2.8-tonne and DX85R-7 8-tonne models. Another compact machine on show will be the DX100WR-7 10.7-tonne wheeled mini-excavator, equipped with a tiltrotator.
The compact equipment line-up will include the DL80TL-7 wheel loader.
Develon will also be promoting the latest version of the company’s Develon Fleet Management wireless fleet monitoring system, which provides information about machine performance in a dual mode. This telematics system offers a web-based fleet and asset management solution.
