Heavy Machinery Increasing productivity to meet rising cost pressures from best-cost countries

The heavy machinery segment extends from construction and earth-moving equipment through quarrying machines to fork-lift trucks and agricultural vehicles. All of these machines have highly specialised engineering requirements.

In addition, as competition from countries such as India and China intensifies, manufacturers in this sector are challenged to maximise productivity and cost efficiencies. Furthermore new legislation such as EU regulation 2016/1628 for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) – also known as Stage V – defines lower emissions levels. Manufacturers need to put an appropriate aftertreatment strategy in place to control engine emissions and to measure emissions with greater precision.
