"The innovations in the construction industry unveiled this week will play a role in helping construction professionals drive meaningful and sustainable economic growth," Phil Kelliher, Caterpillar senior vice president and CONEXPO-CON/AGG show chair, said. "Live events in the construction industry are very important because you can see, touch and experience the products. That value was reaffirmed this past week across the show floor."
This year's show emphasised how the construction industry is evolving in many ways to adapt to sustainable technologies, products and practices. Show attendees were treated to sustainability in action, from electric and hydrogen-powered construction equipment, to more recyclable materials and waste reduction opportunities.
Sustainable tech displayed
Across the show floor, sustainable technologies, products and practices included Volvo Construction Equipment which brought several electric and autonomous pieces to its stand in the Festival Lot, including its EC230 electric excavator pilot, its Zeux autonomous concept wheel loader, and its HX04 prototype hydrogen articulated hauler. Just steps away, Caterpillar featured four battery electric machines as well as a series of prototype batteries for off-road equipment ranging from 48-600 volts.
