Weekly recap: John Deere expands compact wheel loader tiering options, Volvo’s battery-electric LIGHTS project, and more

With Volvo Trucks North America finishing its Volvo LIGHTS zero-emission truck project, and with a trial confirming that Enezol's diesel fuel significantly lowers fuel consumption, emissions reduction stood out this week. John Deere expanded the company's performance tiering strategy with the launch of three new compact wheel loaders. Plus, Kleemann's mobile cone and impact crushers can benefit from an optional unit, and Geoforce has launched new asset trackers with satellite, cellular, and hybrid connectivity options. Here are five articles from this week you won't want to miss.

Produce two grain sizes with one crusher using Kleemann's double-deck post-screening unit

Kleemann's MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2 mobile cone crusher and MOBIREX MR 110(i) EVO2 mobile impact crusher can now optionally be fitted with a double-deck post-screening unit. The double-deck post-screening unit allows users to produce two final grain sizes while using only one crusher. If a crushing application is meant to produce one final grain size, the post-screening unit can also be used as a single-deck version.

Volvo Trucks North America zero-emission LIGHTS project finishes in Southern California

Volvo Trucks North America has completed the Volvo LIGHTS project – a three-year project that brought together 14 public and private partners to design and implement a blueprint for the support necessary to deploy battery-electric trucks and equipment at scale. During the project, Volvo Trucks deployed its first Class 8 pilot Volvo VNR Electric trucks to fleet operators to collect real-world operating data and customer feedback ahead of launching its commercial model. The Volvo LIGHTS project was led by Volvo Group North America and California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD).

Trial claims that Enezol diesel fuel reduces fuel consumption by 50.45 percent

The Enezol Company has released results from an independent fuel efficiency trial, revealing that Enezol Energize diesel fuel achieves fuel savings of up to 50.45 percent compared to standard diesel fuel. The fuel trial was conducted by ABMARC in conjunction with Enezol's Australian fuel distributor, Refuelling Solutions. The test data uncovered multiple fuel efficiency improvements across a range of operating conditions including engine idling, city driving, and highway driving.
