partners up to tailor made special solutions in the end costumer business. As such,<br />

according to Samuel Hermansson, Techking not only works on efficient tire concepts<br />

along the requirements of fuel efficiency <strong>and</strong> long machine life, but also on own tire<br />

control systems with internet connection. Furthermore Techking develops short-term<br />

special solutions <strong>for</strong> specific applications, together with <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> costumers of the EM<br />

<strong>and</strong> industry sector.<br />

According to its president Luo Guobing, Liugong also massively invests in longterm<br />

development, in close collaboration with Chinese universities <strong>and</strong> international<br />

industry partners. This process follows enormous innovative dynamics <strong>and</strong> benefits<br />

from a grow-ing pool of highly qualified experts <strong>and</strong> product-specific transfer of<br />

know-how. The clear message is: Chinese products will not only establish themselves<br />

because of their price, but through quality.<br />

Dump Truck 2.0<br />

In presenting the <strong>new</strong> ETF mining trucks, Eddie de Jong, CEO of the European Truck<br />

Factory (ETF), demonstrated how it is possible to bring together the lines of this year’s<br />

CEWEF conference through product innovation.<br />

Modularly built transport vehicles are meant to revolutionalize the raw material<br />

transport above 80 tons net load in open cast mines. Model programs with four<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance classes up to 218 tons of net load <strong>and</strong> combined total per<strong>for</strong>mances<br />

in traction mode up to 800 tons with only one driver, promise <strong>new</strong> dimensions with<br />

regard to operational management <strong>and</strong> cost effectiveness. An all-encompassing<br />

electronic vehicle management not only releases the driver, but to a certain extent<br />

attends to itself. Entirely exchangeable integrated modules in the engine <strong>and</strong> gear are<br />

also meant to minimize the downtime.<br />

The ETF concept is not only characterized by a complete turning away from the <strong>rig</strong>id<br />

two-axle dump trucks with conventional motor-gear-technique or diesel-electronic<br />

two-axle dump trucks. With the exclusive marketing as a long-lasting leasing model<br />

with comprehensive local service <strong>and</strong> availability guarantee, the manufacturer takes<br />

a <strong>new</strong> line. The first production models of ETF mining trucks will be presented in<br />

March next year.<br />
