The global heavy machinery industry travels to Germany every three years for bauma. The event, which will be held on the exhibition grounds in Munich from October 24 to 30, will focus on equipment innovation and technology. The following is a sneak peek at some of the products that will be on display for a week during the exhibition.
LIEBHERR
Booth No. FM.809, FM.810, FM.812, FM.813, FM.714/2, FOE.ICM.105
At bauma 2022, Liebherr Mining will unveil a brand-new mid-size class hydraulic excavator – the second Generation 8 machine within the Liebherr Mining portfolio. The T 274, a class-leading 305-tonne mining truck will be on display, featuring an impressive demonstration of the Trolley Assist System. Visitors will also experience the latest products and services from Liebherr Mining’s Technology Product portfolio in the dedicated technology pavilion including the company’s modular approach to emission reduction, contributing to a more environmental oriented development in the mining industry.
A pre-series model of the new machine will be exhibited at the Liebherr booth. As the second machine within the Liebherr mining portfolio to receive the “Generation 8” label, after the R 9600 excavator, which was launched in 2021, this new model comes equipped with the latest Liebherr technology products.
The hydraulic excavator to be displayed at bauma 2022 has already entered the testing phase, with the company planning the start of serial production in early 2024.
Designed and adapted from years of experience in mining truck development, the T 274 is a true 305 tonne machine that provides fast cycle times, higher production rates, low fuel consumption, and a low cost per tonne.
A wide range of options are available for the T 274 and the entire Liebherr haul truck product line, including the Trolley Assist System and the next generation of interoperable machine automation solutions, both of which will be showcased at bauma 2022.
VÖGELE
Booth No. FS.1010
VÖGELE will showcase its latest road pavers and screeds of the Dash 5 generation: the SUPER 1900-5(i) and SUPER 2100-5(i) Highway Class pavers and the latest-generation AB 500 and AB 600 Extending Screeds.
As a pioneering solution to the asphalt paving of the future, the new generation of pavers satisfies now the requirements increasingly imposed on asphalt pavers by modern road construction. Flexible, modular systems are required to take particular account of process automation and sustainability, as well as user-friendliness and economy.
The details of the Dash 5 generation will be kept under wraps until the bauma trade fair in Munich. Given the rising prices of raw materials, economy is also becoming more and more of a factor in the success of road construction, which is why on Dash 5 pavers, VÖGELE has ensured reduced setup times, improved logistics and greater machine availability. The automation of processes with assistance and control systems has also been further optimised to prevent errors and to increase both efficiency and paving quality.
Sustainable project implementation is more in demand than ever – in road construction, too. Targeted optimisation measures reduce the noise emission and fuel consumption of Dash 5 pavers whilst maintaining the same performance. As every litre of fuel saved reduces CO2 emissions, the environment and road construction contractors benefit from this in equal measure.

AMMANN
Booth No. FS.909
The pillars of sustainability, connectivity and productivity are represented across the more than 100 products Ammann will display at the stand. Several new initiatives will also be highlighted at bauma 2022.
“That is not only our focus at bauma 2022, but our commitment on a daily basis,” said Hans-Christian Schneider, CEO of Ammann. “Our customers increasingly need products that are more sustainable. There also is an industry need for improved digital tools and connectivity between machines and the office. Our customers tell us they need advances in these areas without any drops in productivity. In fact, productivity is more essential than ever.”
Visitors to the Ammann booth at bauma 2022 can examine the as1 Argon View, a new user interface for the as1 Control System for asphalt- and concrete-mixing plants. The interface provides constant visual updates about production status. It is intuitive, making it easy for operators to leverage all the plant’s value and improve efficiency and productivity. It also helps operators stay focused and to easily track the entirety of the production process.
Ammann recently introduced ServiceLink, a digital telematic data management tool that provides customers with the information they want the most: machine location, battery status and operating hours. Ammann ServiceLink can be added to light and heavy compactors, pavers and other machines – whether they were produced by Ammann or another manufacturer.
The optional Ammann Documentation System (ADS) records data that is measured by Ammann’s proprietary ACEforce or ACEpro Intelligent Compaction systems. The data then can be analyzed to improve efficiency and quality control – and to save passes of the machine, the ultimate productivity gainer.
Ammann will showcase the new Ammann ARS 70 Soil Compactor which uses the ECOdrop, a sustainability initiative, that maximises engine efficiency and reduces both emissions and fuel costs. It also involves reconfiguring key systems and components to reduce the operational fluids required to run them. This results in lower costs for both acquisition and disposal of the fluids. The initiative offers improved access to service points as well, making maintenance faster and preventing costly fluid spills. With the With ECOdrop, the ARS 70 has seen reductions of 22% in fuel consumption, 26% in the required hydraulic fluid, and 10% in the needed vibratory system fluid.
All Ammann products at bauma will feature the eMission, an environmentally friendly solution. It starts with reduced emissions – and incorporates efficiency, productivity and lower maintenance demands that make jobsites greener and business owners more profitable.
Ammann has also released a new, highly advanced continuous compaction control system for soil and asphalt compactors. ACEpro takes the essential ingredients from previous products while adding lead-edge technologies.
ACEpro can be operated in an automatic mode, where amplitude and frequency are controlled and adjusted by the machine based on compaction targets, measurements, and conditions. The adjustments improve efficiency and quality by sending optimal force into the ground. Operators can monitor progress in real time and assess when compaction has been achieved. This knowledge eliminates unnecessary passes of the machine – and all the costs they bring in terms of fuel, machine wear and labor. ACEpro also prevents over compaction and the damage it can cause.
“There is always a great deal of excitement around bauma,” Schneider said. “If possible, this show might be even more highly anticipated as it marks a return to a major in-person event. It will be our first chance to reconnect personally with many of our customers.”
