Liugong is expected to make new additions to its E-series crawler excavator range at Bauma China.

Liugong has been quiet on the specifics of its new launches for Bauma China, but the company says its exhibit will stress its "long line" of products. New additions are likely to be made to the E-series range of crawler excavators, which offers 5% more efficiency and an 8% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the D-series.

Also expected at the show are dozers from HSW Dressta, the Polish manufacturer Liugong acquired at the start of the year. The company said, "Liugong has the opportunity at Bauma China to introduce one of the most powerful bulldozers ever made to the Chinese market."

Key design features include Cummins engines, advanced electro-hydraulic steering with pre-set travel speed selection and automatic downshift. The dozers also feature a two-speed steering system that allows gradual turns with full power to both tracks.
