The quarrying and construction equipment manufacturer says the stand is centred around a dedicated innovation centre and, under the theme of 'Powered by Innovation', will present the latest developments in the company’s Concept-X, Xitecloud and DoosanCONNECT systems, together with other products such as what is said to be the world’s first ‘transparent bucket’ and the new DX225LC-7X, Doosan’s first ‘smart’ crawler excavator.

Doosan says the array of products on its stand will show the increasing expansion at both ends of the product range for the first time at bauma. At the top of the range, these will include the new DX1000LC-7 100 tonne crawler excavator, the DL580-7 wheeled loader and a brand new 4x4 version of the Doosan DA45-7 articulated dump truck (ADT).

The company will be demonstrating the latest version of the Concept-X unmanned automated and integrated control solution introduced in 2019, for construction, quarrying and mining sites. XiteCloud is the first stage in commercialising Concept-X. Doosan says it maximises productivity by incorporating complex 3D drone construction surveys and earthwork calculations into a cloud platform, allowing them to be completed in one to two days.

Doosan is also demonstrating the DoosanCONNECT TMS fleet and asset management system at bauma. The mobile application is available for both Apple and Android devices and now offers customers a new all-in-one management system for Doosan construction equipment.

The latest upgrade to the DoosanCONNECT app introduces additional services and expanded overall functionality, allowing the app to manage all processes from operation and maintenance to parts purchase through this one platform. The system is designed to increase productivity and efficiency at construction sites by reducing equipment management time and effort compared to offline and other solutions.

Doosan’s ‘transparent bucket’ safety system will be at bauma for the first time. The company says it is the first safety system of its type to provide a solution to prevent the danger of blind spots in front of the buckets of wheel loaders.

Being shown for the first time in the world at bauma, the new DX225LC-7X - Doosan’s first ‘smart’ crawler excavator is designed to help operators work faster and more efficiently. To facilitate this, the DX225LC-7X offers a number of new features as standard, including full electric hydraulic (FEH) technology. As well as the FEH system, other standard features of the DX225LC-7X include integrated 2D machine guidance and machine control systems, as well as an E-Fence Virtual Wall.

Doosan is also premiering the new DX1000LC-7 Stage V compliant 100 tonne crawler excavator, the largest excavator model ever manufactured by the company. Driven by the most powerful engine in the 100 tonne class, the DX1000LC-7 also has the highest hydraulic flow for this size of machine, providing best-in-class performance, with higher productivity, lower fuel consumption and smoother controls.

Another world premiere for the company at bauma is the company’s first 4x4 ADT. The new 4x4 version of the DA45-7 ADT is intended to challenge rigid dump trucks in the 40-tonne class. With its 4x4 design, the new version of the DA45-7 is designed to be better at handling bad roads, smoother driving surfaces and steeper terrain than rigid dump trucks. Doosan says the DA45-7 4x4 ADT also has a better turning radius than comparable rigid trucks.
