Forward-Thinking Technology

Wirtgen Group’s telematics solution, WITOS, offers an uncomplicated and efficient telematics solution that provides valuable assistance in the areas of fleet management, process management and documentation. WITOS FleetView supports proactive maintenance planning and a rapid response in the event of faults, guaranteeing maximum machine availability and enhancing the cost-efficiency and value retention of the machinery.

WITOS Fleetview reduces workload by optimizing scheduling and planning processes to avoid unnecessary transport movements. It makes maintenance easier through a detailed analysis of machine operation and utilization patterns. Another key advantage is the short response times in the event of any faults or malfunctions, as well as minimizing machine downtimes through optimized scheduling of service appointments. Asphalt professionals can view information about the operational status of any of the machines at any time and from anywhere. Its intuitive user-interface enables you to quickly and easily obtain a clear and precise machine overview, helping to keep your fleet in perfect condition.

Sustainability with Asphalt To us, sustainability isn’t simply a trend, it’s an integral part of our corporate principles. The WIRTGEN GROUP incorporates sustainability into all our business processes. Environmental considerations are a top priority from the development and design phase of our products and a central element in all stages of the production chain—right through to the use of the machines in projects around the world. We know that the future belongs to climate-friendly products, which we’re already manufacturing today. wirtgen-group.com/en-us/

WIRTGEN GROUP machines feature intelligent control systems and clever automatic functions to achieve maximum productivity with low fuel consumption and minimal emissions. Innovative technologies and machines proactively protect the environment—and our customers’ budgets.

Our high-quality products and technologies support environmentally friendly processes as well, like cold milling, asphalt recycling and surface mining. They’re not only green but create efficiencies for our customers through reduced trucking, recycling of existing materials and cut, crush and load operations, all reducing CO2 emissions and expenses.

WIRTGEN GROUP’s commitment to a better environment also extends to our production facilities. HAMM AG uses near-surface geothermal energy to heat and cool its office building. For this purpose, the company installed 48 geothermal probes under the employee parking lot that together generate a total of 600,000 kWh of heating energy— equivalent to around 15,850 gallons of oil—from renewable sources. And on hot summer days, the heat pump turns into a cooling unit that extracts heat from the building and “pumps” it back into the ground. This allows the company to “generate” another 200,000 kWh of additional cooling energy every year. Compared to conventional compression chillers, this reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 70%.
