Sustainability Front and Center at bauma 2022

SUSTAINABILITY Front & Center at bauma

This trend will likely continue into exhibits, presentations and conversations during CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE in 2023.

Many conversations among exhibitors and attendees during bauma 2022 centered on sustainability. From connectivity to alternative fuels and electrification, sustainable operation has become a prerequisite in the off-highway industry to ensure decreased emissions, improved fuel efficiency and long equipment life. Several exhibitors at bauma in Munich, Germany, featured sustainable equipment.

Caterpillar

This was especially true during our many conversations with the thought leaders from Caterpillar, many of whom participated in our October webinar, Sustainable Solutions. The full array of products were shared with us in a quick snapshot on Day 1 of bauma. Dustin Childers, global marketing manager for Caterpillar, gave us a tour in this video. The company had three main focuses during the event: • Powering today • Extending lifecycles • Driving Tomorrow

In each focus area, sustainability was a priority.

RISE Robotics

To remove the hydraulic fluids in hydraulic systems, RISE Robotics has developed fluid-free, “not” hydraulic cylinders. The technology helps support the battery-electrification of industrial equipment by delivering hydraulic-system-or-better performance at levels of efficiency previously available via some linear actuators. During the event, RISE Robotics and Danfoss Power Solutions took to social media to confirm their partnership, announced in May 2022. Lowering carbon emissions was one reason for this partnership.

CONEXPO

Perkins Engines

During the event, the Perkins team discussed their full line of Stage 4 Final engines, which are dual certified to use diesel and biofuels. In addition, they launched their modular batteries during the event, another way the company is decreasing the carbon footprint of its components.

Bosch Rexroth

Sustainability was also the focus of the technology exhibited at the Bosch Rexroth booth. From the bauma page on the company’s website: “Now is the time to take action if we are to leave future generations with a planet that is worth living on. Here at Bosch Rexroth, we are doing our bit to ensure that you are able to rise to this challenge.”

bauma, a Preview for CONEXPO-CON/AGG

With much of the technology featured during bauma focused on energy efficiency, low emissions and sustainable operations, the European show may prove to be a preview of CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE. Previews of technology to be exhibited in Las Vegas in March 2023 lean into similar sustainable equipment and components.
