The consistently positive reactions of all participants<br />
encourages the Groeneveld group to continue the CEWEF<br />
series. The next Construction Equipment World Economic<br />
Forum was announced <strong>for</strong> fall of next year, again to be held<br />
in Brussels.<br />
Integral In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
In the CEWEF seminar, a total of eight individual articles<br />
dealt with specified guiding themes, “Cost-effectiveness<br />
in machine operations”, “Safety” <strong>and</strong> “New developments<br />
in the construction machinery market”. This thematic<br />
structure ensured the practical relevance of all articles<br />
of the highly experienced speakers from the construction<br />
equipment <strong>and</strong> supply industry, as well providing ample<br />
opportunities <strong>for</strong> questions <strong>and</strong> suggestions from the<br />
plenum of experts. All articles can be accessed under<br />

More than 100 high-level experts<br />

conference in Brussels.<br />
In a way the basis of the profitability studies was a<br />
recourse to the „Total Cost of Ownership“-Model of the<br />
preceding CEWEF events. Apart <strong>for</strong>m the fixed costs of<br />
purchase, financing <strong>and</strong> residual value, this calculation<br />
of lifecycle costs of a construction machine also includes<br />
variable operation costs like personnel, fuel, maintenance<br />
<strong>and</strong> servicing, as well as additional equipment <strong>and</strong> spare<br />
parts. All speakers agreed to the fact that while the model<br />
is quite complex, it offers high potential <strong>for</strong> long-term<br />
savings, which can be converted into effectively traceable<br />
production costs (e.g. costs per ton), in case of exact (pre-)<br />
calculation.<br />
The range of topics with regard to safety predominantly<br />
dealt with the increasing requirements of occupational<br />
safety <strong>and</strong> health, but it also dealt with higher order<br />
aspects of sustainability of climate <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />
protection. The discussion here was mainly centered<br />
around economical effects of development <strong>and</strong> production<br />
