Hitachi presents the next generation

An extensive range of new Hitachi Zaxis-5 excavators and ZW-5 wheel loaders will be showcased at Bauma this year. Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) will display a total of 29 new machines on its 5,600m² stand at the exhibition, which takes place from 15 to 21 April in Munich.

Hitachi at Bauma: The technological choice

The new models include mini, medium, large and ultra-large crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, special application models, wheel loaders and crawler cranes. This highlights the diversity of high-quality construction and related industry equipment for which Hitachi is globally renowned.

Five Zaxis-5 short-tail mini excavators will be presented, from the ZX33U-5 to the largest Hitachi mini excavator, the ZX65USB-5. Comfort has been enhanced, thanks to a larger cab, a wider operator seat and easier access. An advanced energy-saving system enables them to deliver savings on fuel costs of up to 21% (ZX33U-5), compared to the Zaxis-3 equivalents.

The new generation of Hitachi Zaxis-5 medium excavators, represented by eight models in total, will also be on display. The larger machines (from the ZX210LC-5 to the ZX350LC-5) are equipped with the unique TRIAS hydraulic system and a powerful Stage IIIB engine, which delivers higher productivity with greater fuel efficiency.

Visitors to the 30^th Bauma exhibition will be able to see four new Hitachi wheeled excavators, from the ZX140W-5 to the ZX220W-5. The advantages of these models include greater lifting power, added durability with a reinforced chassis for example, and higher productivity with the HIOS III hydraulic system.

Five new ZW-5 wheel loaders are also included in the impressive Hitachi line-up, ranging from the ZW220-5 to the largest model, the ZW550-5. They are intended to deliver a powerful digging and loading performance, are capable of impressive travel speeds and offer excellent fuel consumption.

Other attractions from Hitachi include the latest special application machines, the EX2600-6 ultra-large mining excavator and two new Hitachi Sumitomo crawler cranes. The ZH200 Hybrid excavator and ZW75 compact wheel loader will also be available in the demonstration area.

HCME President and CEO Moriaki Kadoya says, “We are delighted to present so many new machines at Bauma. This impressive line-up is the result of many years of research and development by our engineering team in Japan. Each model has been designed to meet the requirements of the latest emission regulations, and the expectations of our customers. We look forward to welcoming them, our dealers and all other visitors to our stand.”
