Hyundai Heavy Industries Introduces 15 Earthmovers Meeting EU Stage IV Emission Regulations at Bauma 2016

Seoul, South Korea – April 11 – Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a leading construction equipment maker, announced today it will present an extensive range of 33 construction equipment* including 10 excavators and 5 wheel loaders meeting EU Stage IV emission regulations at Bauma 2016 in Munich, Germany from April 11-17.

The construction equipment to be displayed at HHI’s 3,447 m2 open-air booth (FA.813A) has versatile applications for construction, utility, forestry, recycling & waste handling and mining and quarrying industries.

Committed to providing customers with the best quality construction equipment, HHI will debut 10 new Stage IV regulations compliant excavators ranging from 14-ton to 52-ton and 5 HL series wheel loaders ranging from 158 bp to 380 bp.

HX series excavators, named as such to stand for “Hyundai Excavators”, have the greatest extent of improvements on the existing Hyundai machines. The most significant features of these machines worth taking note are that all HX series excavators are Stage IV compliant, and thus generate 90 percent less NOx emission than their predecessors.

HX series also offer an array of intelligent electronic support for operators such as Eco Gauge Guidance on the control panel making it easy for the operators to monitor the status of engine torque and fuel efficiency using colors and gauge level, and Intelligent Power Control (IPC) that automatically controls the fuel pump flow depending on work environments.

The Floating Mode feature automatically optimizes boom operations according to the shape of the terrain the excavators operate on, and the smart start button and haptic switch also increase operators’ convenience.

In terms of safety, HX excavators are equipped with the Advanced Around View Monitoring (AAVM) system that provides operators with the field of vision for all directions. Thanks to the AAVM system, the operators can detect people or dangerous objects within five-meter range. The HL series wheel loaders also feature 7-10 percent improved fuel efficiency with engines conforming to Stage IV emission standard.
