With regards to regional distribution of turnover, Europe is
still by far the biggest market accounting for 30%, which
is a minus of 8% compared to 2010. Followed by Latin
America (20%), India (16%) and Africa (14%), the
ranking is the same as last year with small upturns
regarding percentage. Promising is the development in Far
East Asia, driven by Indonesia and Singapore, with a plus
of 9% and North America doubling up to 8%.
Moreover, 2011 was the first year after the market launch
of Liebherr’s Pactronic ® hybrid drive system. This system
boosts turnover by 30% and reduces exhaust emissions
as well as fuel consumption by 30% at the same time.
Currently, Pactronic ® is available for two crane types, LHM
550 and the new LHM 420. Already one third of relevant
deliveries in 2011 are equipped with this ultra-modern
hybrid drive system. This is a huge success for Liebherr
and exceeds all expectations. Consequently Pactronic ® will
be gradually rolled out on more crane models and by
2013 offered on Liebherr’s entire mobile harbour crane
range.
With regards to 2012, order backlog looks very promising
and even exceeds the amount of LHMs ordered at the
same stage one year ago. For that reason, Liebherr is on
the right track to accomplish 2012 in the range of the
remarkable turnover realised in 2011.
