The company recently launched its all-new Stage IV excavator and wheeled loader line-up that comply with the latest emission regulations and are said to be up to 10% more fuel efficient.
Preceding the new HX excavators and HL wheeled loaders were the Stage III B Hyundai 9A-series. For these earlier Hyundai models the manufacturer has introduced de-tiering kits or sulphur tolerance kits.
These engine conversion kits allow Hyundai dealers to de-tier machines prior to shipment to countries outside Europe and the US. De-tiering a machine’s engine means automatically emission decertification.
Alain Worp, Director Sales CE for Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe, said, “Hyundai excavators and wheeled loaders last for a long time, so it’s good that when our customers choose an all-new HX/HL series machine from Hyundai, their previous machines can enjoy a second life in other countries.
“That’s how we can all help to make better use of our natural resources and build a better world. However, to assure that the new owners have the same peace-of-mind when operating their machines, we now offer these engine conversion kits.”
The new HX range of machines, in addition to being up to 10% more fuel efficient, also benefit from 13% more operator’s space and a 10% noise reduction.
The company says there is 50% more durability of arm and boom and 100% more safety with Hyundai’s exclusive AAVM (Advanced Around View Monitoring) System.
