The Wirtgen Group will be presenting its entire range of product brands at Asphaltica 2024 in Bologna

The motto of this year’s Asphaltica in Bologna, Italy, is “The Roads to be Green”.  www.wirtgen-group.com At the show from 9 to 12 October 2024, the Wirtgen Group will be demonstrating its core competencies with sustainable solutions for the entire road construction process chain. Presenting 13 exhibits on an indoor and outdoor area of more than 600 square meters, with special presentations of the Operations Center for construction equipment, the company group is one of the show’s most important exhibitors. The Wirtgen Group can be found together with John Deere at Booth A49 in Hall 19. Construction equipment with smart technologies The HX series pivot-steered tandem rollers are just one of the highlights being presented by Hamm at the show. With operating weights between 7 and 9 t, the eight new models impress with easy handling, digital interfaces, outstanding user-comfort and precise steering. A particular highlight of these models is Smart Compact, which enables automated compaction by the control of both drums. With its cold milling machines, Wirtgen demonstrates how innovative solutions make sustainable road construction possible in all application scenarios. The compact milling machine W 100 Fi offers a combination of high milling performance and compact dimensions. The large milling machine W 200 Fi enables the cost-efficient realisation of a broad spectrum of applications ranging from surface layer rehabilitation to full pavement removal. Both machines are equipped with digital assistance systems that increase both efficiency and operating comfort. John Deere is bringing its 622 GP Motor Grader to Bologna. The Grader’s six-wheel drive enables maximum productivity on all surface types and the wide range of options it offers make it the first choice for every job. Benninghoven has developed a pioneering solution for almost emission-free production of asphalt mixes – the world’s first burner that can be fuelled exclusively with green hydrogen. Asphalt plant operators are already using the burner in their production processes. The MOBICAT MC 110 EVO2 mobile jaw crusher from Kleemann is used as a primary crusher in the processing of natural stone and recycling. The machine is characterised by compact dimensions, easy handling and high productivity. Visitors to the show will be able to find out more about this impressive crusher on the outdoor exhibition area. The SUPER 2100-5i is this year’s show highlight from Vögele. This Highway Class tracked paver combines its exceptional performance with the pioneering technologies of the Dash 5 generation and impresses with smart automated functions, improved comfort for its users, low noise and minimised exhaust gas emissions. Digitalisation as a driver of safety and sustainability Alongside machine efficiency and alternative applications and methods, digitalisation and connected system solutions are important drivers in the ongoing development of the overall road construction process chain. At a special presentation, the Wirtgen Group will be showing the John Deere Operations Center for construction machines, the central platform for all current and future digital solutions developed by our specialised brands for the optimisation of processes, machines and services.
