Bauma 2016: Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts and Genuine Accessories for construction transport

Daimler Press Release  /  Stuttgart – München  /  April 11, 2016

"Strong. On every terrain." - this is the Daimler motto for its appearance at the Bauma 2016 show from 11 to 17 April 2016 in Munich. As the world's leading show for the construction sector it offers the ideal podium for the Group's diverse construction vehicles. From A for Arocs to Z for Zetros they cover the entire spectrum of construction vehicles. Over a total area of 2100 m², on an area of 1700 m² in Hall B4 and over a space of 400 m² in the open-air grounds right next to it Daimler is exhibiting 22 vehicles in all for virtually every conceivable application. At the site visitors can also find out about and receive advice on the high-quality Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts and the Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories specifically for the construction sector.

Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts: top quality for construction vehicles

Vehicles in the construction industry and ancillary trades have to be top performers: predominantly on the road, but also in off-road operation. In order to do this the vehicles must be kept in a technically reliable condition. This is best achieved with Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts.

Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts have been perfectly aligned to the individual trucks. They are produced in accordance with precisely defined manufacturer specifications, tested on an ongoing basis and continuously updated to the current state of the art with regard to their features. As a result they contribute significantly to the vehicle's favourable total cost of ownership and ensure minimal downtime. The extensive range of parts and efficient logistics with fast availability are additional benefits. And last but not least, it is only the use of high-quality Genuine Parts that ensures that the explicit and implied warranty is maintained. At Bauma 2016 Mercedes-Benz is using three Genuine Parts to demonstrate the product advantages:

In daily use on the construction site permanently optimum braking performance is essential. Mercedes-Benz genuine brake linings ensure even heat distribution thanks to their optimum friction pairing between the brake disc and brake lining and thus reduce the risk of having to exchange brake discs due to tears before the end of their lifetime.

Mercedes-Benz genuine air bellows make an important contribution to safety and comfort. Alongside optimum cushioning they minimise the risk of tipping, in particular also in very inhospitable terrain, ensure maximum stability of the vehicle and enable the cargo to be transported safely.

Mercedes-Benz genuine air filters made of flame-retardant material achieve a separation degree of up to 99.95 percent and thus protect the engine against wear through dirt particles in the air, especially on dusty construction sites. Through the good filter performance the air-mass sensor remains free of dirt and keeps fuel consumption low.

Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories: for the highest standards

The genuine accessories from Mercedes-Benz offer a multitude of individual truck styling and protection options for applications in construction transport. At the Daimler stand in Hall B4 Mercedes-Benz is exhibiting chrome louvres and roof lamp brackets on an Actros 4163 LS as well as a reversing camera system, side window wind deflectors and a shield panel for the exhaust box.

The exhibited Actros 4163 LS as a semi-heavy haulage vehicle is fitted with a roof lamp bracket with four additional headlights and chrome louvres in a special 3D look on the ornamental grille. The four work lights on the roof lamp bracket put every construction site in the right light and thanks to the fact that they are produced from robust, high-gloss polished stainless steel they brave inclement weather conditions. The roof lamp bracket is available in different variants for all Arocs, Actros and Atego cabs.

The reversing camera system, which is available from the Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories range for all models, offers safety when manoeuvring. The system is automatically activated when engaging reverse gear, makes the area behind the vehicle visible and thus facilitates precise reversing and manoeuvring. On request the reversing camera system shows lateral lines so that the distance can be gauged better. The high product quality is based on a water-resistant camera housing and integral heating to prevent the camera lens from icing up.

The side window wind deflector from Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories protects against airflow and against wind noise in the cab thanks to its exact fit. It has a custom-fit aperture for the kerb-sight mirror on the co-driver's side and is available as a set in two variants: tinted or clear.

In harsh construction site applications or on vehicles with clearance for crane support feet, soiling of the electronic components on the exhaust box can occur, restricting the service life. With immediate effect Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories is offering favourably priced retrofitting with a shield panel on the front of the exhaust box for the OM 47x engines, in order to reduce this soiling effectively and thus extend the life of the exhaust box.

Scania at Bauma focuses on best possible total economy

Scania Group Press Release  /  April 11, 2016

Scania is out in force at Bauma in Munich, the world’s leading trade fair for construction trucks, construction equipment and mining machines. Celebrating its 125 year anniversary, Scania has a long-standing record of supplying products that ensure the best possible total economy, regardless of application.

At Bauma, Scania will exhibit five rough and tough vocational trucks, each tailored for demanding construction work. The real showstopper at Bauma is the Scania R 730 heavy-haulage 10×4 with the capacity to handle loads up to 150 tonnes or even 250 tonnes when permitted. Additionally, a 6×6 AWD mining truck will be displayed.

Scania’s combination of robust products and connected services provides intelligent solutions that make all the difference. Its well-known characteristics such as low weight and excellent bodybuilding opportunities are at the fore.

Strong upward trend

Scania is presently enjoying a strong upward trend within construction, especially in the large European markets. “There has been growing recognition over the past few years of the fact that Scania also has the strongest offering in the construction segment,” says Christopher Podgorski, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Scania Trucks. “Scania’s vehicles and services perfectly match the characteristics and solutions being sought by operators today. On top of this, we have the most fuel-efficient powertrains and our quality is regarded as industry leading.”

Scania Engines will exhibit its Stage V-ready engines at Bauma. Although the Stage V emission standards will not be required until 2019 Scania can offer compliant engines well in advance.

Scania’s new range combines outstanding performance and total operating economy, and features engine-management and emission-control systems developed in-house. The new Stage V engine is based on state-of-the-art technology. All three platforms in the Scania line-up – 9-litre, 13-litre and 16-litre featuring output ranges from 202 kW to 566 kW. “Scania’s industrial engines are based on our successful Euro 6 engines for on-road applications,” says Anders Liss, Vice President Sales at Scania Engines. “Our first Euro 6 truck engines were introduced in 2012, and we now have a proven track record in this area.”

Holistic mining approach

At Bauma, Scania Mining’s holistic approach will be manifested. The portfolio contains an unequalled range of products and services. By optimising every stage, Scania can help increase productivity and thereby customer profitability. “We’re showing the full width of Scania’s range, with everything from robust tippers, service vehicles, tractor units, engines for industrial applications or for power generation and finally buses,” explains Björn Winblad, Vice President, Scania Mining. “All this together with a string of different services including pure consulting-services, all show our unrivalled strengths.”

Scania’s focus is on helping mining customers to improve productivity, lower costs, and better manage risks, leading to improved business results. By plugging into each customer’s production processes and improving them by delivering a lower cost per ton, Scania can introduce mining customers into an era of lower expenditure combined with sustainable profits.

Allison unveils latest off-highway fully auto transmission

Transport Engineer  /  April 11, 2016

Allison Transmission is launching a fully automatic transmission for off-highway trucks today (11 April 2016) at the Munich BAUMA exhibition.

Dubbed 6630ORS, Allison’s latest off-highway series transmission is an evolution of its 6000 Series, which it says delivers increased durability and performance.

New engineering aspects include an internal damper and updated torque converter turbine, with what Allison describes as improved vane geometry as well as anodised surface treatment.

Allison says the new transmission is a response to growing demand for articulated haulers carrying larger payloads. It points to Bell’s new 55-ton-capacity articulated dump truck, which now incorporates the Allison 6630ORS – also on display at Bauma.

Additionally, Bell Equipment is showcasing its first B45E truck with an Allison 4700ORS transmission, which (along with its B40E and B50E models) will be moving from a sox-speed to the seven-speed transmission.

This brings improved gradeability due to the deep first range and smaller ratio steps, resulting in better performance and fuel efficiency.
