The biggest conventional Dulldozers-D11 Caterpillar tractor

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
The D11 Caterpillar tractor is one of the biggest conventional bulldozers, second only to Komatsu D575. This tractor is available in two variations, the D11R and the much bigger D11R CD.<br />
<br />
 The D11 Caterpillar bulldozer is at the higher end of the Caterpillar tractor machineries in terms of size and power. The main use of the D11 bulldozer is moving of big amount of dirt and rock. D11 can be commonly found in quarries. The size, power and price of the D11 indicate that it is utilized for major products. D11 is usually utilized in the areas of mining, forestry, excavation as well as quarry operations.<br />
<br />
 The D11 Caterpillar tractor is widely known for its great strength and power. It has the ability to crush the earth; this proves that such bulldozer is best for rock crushing and agricultural type of work. Its ripper is the claw-like component that is found on the rear of D11. Rippers usually are in a lone shank or groups of three or more, these is known to be as multiple shank rippers. Ordinarily, one shank is what we should require for the heavy ripping job.<br />
<br />
 The rock ripping of a D11 Caterpillar tractor will make the rocks on the ground surface break down into much smaller sizes and therefore it is much convenient to handle and remove the rubble or debris once the area is graded.<br />
<br />
 The ripping feature of the D11 Caterpillar tractor will easily break up the very hard or rocky ground in order for rocky land or agricultural areas to be used for farming applications. <br />

HOW to rent a construction equipment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
If you are in need of construction equipment, you have more options than to simply buy stuff. One of the things that you can do is to rent the equipment. There are many companies out there that are in the business of renting out equipment. One of the most popular construction equipment is the excavator. The question in many people's minds is that, should you rent an excavator or not? Some are having doubts when it comes to renting equipment because they feel that it could be a safety risk. Below, you will find the reasons why:<br />
<br />
Get the equipment that you need<br />
<br />
Some people do not want to rent an excavator because they think that the process is complicated, the truth is the renting process is very simple and easy. When it comes to excavators, there are actually many different kinds. Be sure that you will rent only the type of equipment that you think you will need for the type of job you require. You see, the rates depend on the type of equipment. The bigger the equipment, the more expensive the rent is naturally. Why get something that you do not need right? On the other hand, you should also be careful not to get something that you will not be able to use.<br />
<br />
How often will you use the equipment?<br />
<br />
The rent or buy debate can actually be answered by a simple question: how often will you need the equipment? If you will be using the equipment for a long period of time and almost on a daily basis, then maybe it is better that you just buy it. But if you only need an excavator for a one-time project, you should simply rent the equipment. That decision will prove to be more economical in the long run. If you want to see the actual figures, then you can simply consult the sales representatives in the resort office. Renting equipment is indeed a Godsend for people who need machines but are short in cash.<br />
<br />
You can also rent tools<br />
<br />
Apart from the main machines, you can also rent tools that are related to the machine. These tools are very useful but if you buy them, it may cost you a small fortune. It is a good thing that there are companies out there who are innovative enough to put out a rental business for these tools.<br />

Excavator Sales Show Signs of Recovery in China

China-based SANY Group posted 2.3% market share growth in the first quarter. <br />
<br />
Sales of excavators in China rebounded in March after a steep decline at the beginning of the year, according to a new investor report published April 9 by J.P. Morgan.<br />
<br />
Excavator sales are still down compared to a year ago, but the pace of decline in March was only 6%, a significant improvement over January-February's precipitous drop of 47%.<br />
<br />
China-based excavator manufacturers have expanded their market share, with SANY showing a 2.3% growth in the first quarter, driven by a new product rollout and a focus on smaller earthmoving machines. Small excavators have shown growth across the board in China, accounting for 54% of total excavator sales during the first quarter of 2013.<br />
<br />
Changes in market shares for foreign companies was mixed, however, with such manufacturers as Doosan, Hitachi and Komatsu slightly down. In addition to Sany, Caterpillar Inc. also grew share, posting a small, 0.2% increase in the first quarter.<br />
<br />
Growth in excavator sales in China was not limited to the domestic market. Export sales were up by 68% in the first quarter.<br />
<br />
"We view this as incrementally positive for Cat," says Ann Duignan, J.P. Morgan analyst, who cautions that "excess inventory remains in the channel and is likely to remain an overhang on the market through 2013."<br />
<br />
The rise in excavator sales in March also reflects the start of construction season, but that hasn’t translated into sales in other types of equipment. Concrete machinery and crane sales remain sluggish, and according to the report their outlook for 2013 remains unchanged. <br />

Caterpillar Rolls Out Hybrid Excavatoras Layoffs Hit Mining Division

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
As a slowdown in mining sales softens its bottom line, equipment giant Caterpillar Inc. is hoping construction customers will be drawn to the promised fuel savings in its new 336EH hybrid excavator.<br />
Earlier this month, ENR visited the company's demonstration center in Edwards, Ill., to see the machine up close. Announced last year, the new machine is based on the design of the existing non-hybrid 336E but uses a special hydraulic hybrid system to recycle energy.<br />
The system takes advantage of an excavator's typical duty cycle: digging, swinging, dumping and swinging back to dig. The excavator captures swing energy as the machine's rotation slows down by storing pressurized fluid in accumulator tanks. It then pushes the fluid back out to aid the next cycle.<br />
According to Caterpillar, the new 40-ton model boasts a 25% fuel consumption improvement over the non-hybrid 336E, with only a 9% price increase. But when measured in tons moved per liter of fuel, the machine promises up to a 50% fuel-efficiency increase.<br />
Running on the same 300-hp, Tier 4 Interim Cat 9-liter diesel engine as the standard 336E excavator, the hybrid model adds a pair of hydraulic accumulator tanks, located in the back of the machine and precharged with nitrogen gas. The stored hydraulic power allows the excavator’s diesel engine to run at a near-constant speed of 1,500 rpm, which conserves fuel and emissions.<br />
Caterpillar says order sheets for the new hybrid are full, but the company is keeping mum about the size of the initial run. The 336EH will be formally launched at Bauma later this month in Munich, where Caterpillar will hand the keys of the machine to its first buyer, Norway-based SA-Anlegg AS.<br />
"The hybrid is currently being manufactured in our facility in Japan, and we plan to build them in our Victoria, Texas, facility for the American market," says Ken Gray, Caterpillar global product manager for large hydraulic excavators. "If there's a good reception at Bauma, it will then be built in our Belgian plant.”<br />
The non-hybrid 336E will continue to be available, Gray adds. “We want the customer to have that option, but we see the hydraulic hybrid as a complete system, not just an add-on [to the 336E],” he says. Caterpillar is also developing a 336FH excavator, which will meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards.<br />
Caterpillar may be looking for a bright spot in the construction sector as the equipment giant has taken a hit in its mining division this year. The company took a $580-million write-down at the beginning of the year after its acquisition of a China-based mining equipment manufacturer went sour. The write-down, coupled with an overall softening mining sector, has resulted in lower demand for the company's new mining equipment.<br />
These recent issues may be to blame for recent layoffs at several of Caterpillar’s U.S. facilities, including over 460 positions at its Decatur, Ill., plant and up to 300 positions in its South Milwaukee, Wis., facility, both set to take effect in June.<br />
Analysts have lowered their expectations for Caterpillar’s first-quarter earnings, as the company is expected to report its first back-to-back drop in quarterly profit since 2009. <br />

Caterpillar unveils the 336EH, its first hybrid <b>excavator</b>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7516313194738814311" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>During a press event at its headquarters in Peoria, Ill., Caterpillar unveiled its very first hybrid excavator, the Cat 336EH. The new machine is the first in an upcoming line of hybrid excavators and will be officially launched in April 2013 at the Bauma International Trade Fair in Munich, Germany.<br />
However, this isn’t an electricity/fuel hybrid like the automobile industry has segued into. Instead, Cat developed a new hydraulic hybrid technology that it says allows the new 336EH to get up to 25 percent greater fuel efficiency than the standard 336E and up to 50 percent greater fuel efficiency over the Cat 336D.<br />
“We wanted to accomplish this hydraulically instead of electrically,” says Ken Gray, Caterpillar’s global product manager for large hydraulic excavators. About 98 percent of the components on the new excavator are currently standard, and the 336EH will be the largest hybrid excavator in the world, the company says.<br />
“To us, the term hybrid means taking extra energy and storing it until it can be used,” Gray says. “It doesn’t matter what kind of energy is stored. One plus: it will be the quietest machine in its size class, with a 65.2 decibel sound level.”<br />
“The difficult part of it is how to control the flow,” he adds. “That’s where the real intellectual property is.”<br />
Machine design on the 336 started back in 2009, but the design on some of the hydraulic components goes back further. Cat says it made the decision to go all-hydraulic in 2011, choosing the all-hydraulic approach because of the high power density of hydraulics.<br />
“It works a lot like a clock coil spring,” Gray says, taking advantage of the excavator’s swing cycle and the fact that there are two start-stops in a typical 15-second load and dump cycle. When the machine slows, the hydraulics store energy that will be reused when it swings again. “It’s the first hybrid machine that will actually lower a user’s owning and operating costs,” Gray says.<br />
Cat is using three main new components to conserve, optimize, and reuse hydraulic power:<br />
? Electronic Standardized Programmable Pump: By matching the engine and pump closely, Cat can use a larger displacement pump and significantly reduce fuel consumption;<br />
? Adaptive Control System: The brains of the system, this directs the flow of the energy throughout the machine; and<br />
? Hydraulic Hybrid Swing System: This takes otherwise wasted swing braking energy and recovers and reuses it.<br />
“I can’t talk about the price, but customers will be able to pay for it within 12 months, or 2,000 hours,” Gray says. “To us, a seven-year payback on a hybrid doesn’t make sense.”<br />
Before its launch at Bauma, customers can begin placing orders through Cat dealers in February 2013. Shipments will begin in April.<br />
<br />

Permitting and <b>Construction</b> Are Issues for US Solar Industry <b>...</b>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Indeed, the solar industry as a whole is evolving to favor the growth of land-based systems over building mounted installations. To address the problem of unequal electricity rates among solar-powered homeowners and others, policy-makers are turning to larger projects. Land-based systems positively impact communities by creating more jobs, income, and greater flow of electricity to the grid. Rebate structures for smaller systems are replaced by incentives for larger projects that take advantage of the economy of scale.Definitions of the scale of solar installations vary between region and state. In their Solar Incentive Program, the city of Los Angeles defines “small” systems as projects that produce between 30 kW and 150 kW, and “large-scale” projects as producers of between 151 kW and 999 kW. According to the solar permitting standards of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, large-scale ground-mounted solar refers to any system of 250 kW or more. Renewable Energy Certificate prices are based on the size of the installed system - small systems create 10 kW or less; large systems, between 10 kW and 1 MW. Most commercial facilities require less than 1 MW of power. Most small businesses and homes can run on 1 to 5 kW systems, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.Solar developments for municipal use or distribution that are built on privately owned land rely on PPAs to enable a third-party developer to own, maintain, and operate the system. The landowner or another off taker of the electricity receives a lower, stabilized electric rate. The solar power developer benefits from the rebates or incentives allowed to the host landowner. The property owner assumes no operating risk in their visible support of the environment. The company purchasing the energy is able to reduce their carbon emissions and attain Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) in states that have Renewable Portfolio Standards.<strong>Risks and Challenges</strong> <strong>for Landowners</strong>Despite the advantages of a PPA agreement, the host property owner faces some challenges. Solar systems may cause a potential increase in property value, which can also lead to an increase in property taxes. PPAs may cost more than simple purchases of solar power systems due to potentially higher transaction costs. Net metered PPAs may sometimes result in two electric bills if the PV system does not provide all of the host's necessary electricity.Feed-in tariffs, on the other hand, function differently than renewable portfolio standards by? providing the electricity-generating installer with a free source of energy as well as payment from a utility company. The property owner, therefore, no longer needs to import electricity from the grid unless in need of additional power. When they transfer their excess energy, they are paid an export tariff.Residential (2kW) projects cost $0.34 per kilowatt hour to operate, while industrial (500 kW) only cost about $0.19. Installation costs also reveal the advantages of large-scale solar. A small-scale system installation totals $8.20 per watt of power produced, but a large system nearly halves that price, costing $4.77 per watt of power produced. Last year alone, the power produced by large-scale installations rose to 758 MW installed and 297 MW installed in small-scale operations. Larger systems have grown at a faster rate historically than small-scale operations. In 2009, the power produced by residential installations in the U.S. totaled around 400 MW and grew to 15,000 MW by 2012 – an increase of 14600 MW. Residential installations only grew from 100MW to 400MW in this time period.Larger scale solar PV operations can qualify as energy generators and also receive REC's in RPS eligible states. They provide energy through a wholesale power sales transaction, usually to a utility. Energy generators fall under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rules for interconnection. The FERC regulates system safety and reliability. The Solar Energy Industries Association hopes to quicken and lower the costs of grid interconnection, which would create countless opportunities for many new solar projects to connect to the grid.Development of large scale renewable energy projects, including solar PV, assists municipalities by reducing their annual?energy expenses?and serving as a hedge against volatility in the energy sector. Many small to mid-size PV installations are also emerging across America, providing new jobs, financing, and electricity to countless communities. A report by the NPD Solarbuzz United States Deal Tracker reveals that 40% of all PV projects in the US are 500 kW or less. With the addition of tax incentives and rebates, projects at this size pay for themselves.Growth in solar development, spurred by the government’s “All of the Above” program, promises to power almost 7 million homes in the next ten years. The first of its kind, the plan reserves public land for solar projects with only minimal impact on wildlife and waters. This blueprint sets aside 285,000 acres of public land in 17 key areas in the nation’s sunbelt – California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. Many groups including the Audubon Society and Southern California Edison were quick to endorse the deal.<strong>Land Use and Permitting</strong><br />
Despite the new popularity of Solar PV projects, implementing a project at any scale presents a number of challenges. Before a PPA?may be finalized?or construction may?begin, regulatory permits must be secured and the design finalized.?The importance of these steps is?often?under-estimated or in some cases,?completely?overlooked.?Construction planning must account for solar-specific considerations. Many regional?planning?commissions are?receiving?inquiries from member communities and have started analyzing the benefits and optimization of an aggregated approach.<br />

Bobcat Company launches new 3600 and 3650 utility vehicles with industry-leading features and capabilities

<P>Bobcat Company, a leader in compact equipment, is breaking new ground in the utility vehicle market with superior performance and productivity with the new 3600 and 3650 hydrostatic drive utility vehicles. Continuing a rich tradition of customer-driven advancements, the 3650 model will take attachment capabilities to a new level as the industry?s first utility vehicle with the capacity to operate front-mounted PTO attachments. <P>Not only are the 3600 and 3650 hydrostatic drive utility vehicles designed to handle and haul more materials for grooming commercial buildings and grounds or maintaining personal properties, but they are the first utility vehicles in the Bobcat? lineup to offer cabs with heat and air conditioning. This will provide more comfort than a typical utility vehicle while transporting passengers and for completing multiple work tasks, such as hauling, mowing, sweeping and snow removal. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Two models expand utility vehicle lineup</STRONG> <P>The new 24.8-horsepower 3600 and 3650 utility vehicles extend the strong Bobcat line of utility vehicles, which includes the 3200, 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicle models, and continues with the Toolcat? 5600 and 5610 utility work machines. The 3600 meets the need for Bobcat customers who want the benefits of a hydrostatic drive utility vehicle, while the 3650 will take attachment capabilities to a new level as it is the industry?s first utility vehicle with the capacity to operate front-mounted attachments that are PTO driven. <P>PTO technology is one of the most simple and efficient ways to transfer engine horsepower to an attachment for optimum performance. This ability uniquely positions the 3650 to provide users with a highly versatile machine that fills the gap between standard Bobcat utility vehicles and the larger Toolcat utility work machines. <P>The new Bobcat utility vehicles provide more productivity and performance without compromising other important qualities that customers expect of all Bobcat equipment: durability, serviceability, comfort, ease of use and versatility. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Durability</STRONG> <P>More uptime and easy upkeep are important to both homeowners and commercial utility vehicle owners. One of the main drivers behind the 3600 and 3650 was the development of a hydrostatic drive system. The hydrostatic system in the new Bobcat UTVs provides durability, and uses a single two-speed motor with fewer moving parts to achieve fast acceleration and maintain top travel speed. <P>Another key durability feature of the machines is a diesel engine that will automatically shut itself down if it experiences high engine coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, or high hydraulic oil temperature. This gives the operator added peace of mind when operating Bobcat utility vehicles in demanding conditions. <P>Durability is further enhanced with the composite cargo box that resists dents and won?t corrode. Standard features on the Bobcat utility vehicles, such as the skid plate and CV boot to help protect important components from damage when traveling over rough terrain, logs, rocks and other debris. Options such as a brush guard provide additional protection. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Productivity and performance</STRONG> <P>The combination of independent front dual A-arm suspension, with rear De Dion suspension that ties the two rear wheels together, improves the vehicle?s ride comfort and provides improved stability to haul and tow heavy loads. These features allow the 3600 and 3650 utility vehicles to achieve an industry-leading payload capacity for towing and hauling. Cargo box capacity alone is 1,250 pounds. At a top speed of 30 miles per hour, that means hauling more with each load and taking fewer trips to get the job done. <P>Another characteristic of the hydrostatic system is dynamic braking, which occurs when the operator releases pressure on the travel pedal. As the operator lets up on the travel pedal, a valve in the drive motor closes ? blocking the flow of oil ? which in turn slows the machine down at a similar rate. This dynamic braking feature also makes the utility vehicle easier to control when under load. For greater stopping force, the utility vehicles? four-wheel disc brakes can be applied. <P>The 3600 and 3650 utility vehicles? hydrostatic transmission system offers the best of both worlds for customers combining smooth drivability and durable suspension. With an adjustable front and rear suspension, the operator can choose a setting that matches the load requirements to achieve optimum comfort and traction without sacrificing durability. <P>The ability to change directions without shifting has improved operator convenience and maneuverability. Operators can perform direction changes from forward to reverse in the new utility vehicles by using a travel control pedal rather than the typical F-N-R lever. This feature makes changing directions as easy as rocking one?s toe to go forward and one?s heel to go in reverse, and is especially beneficial in tight areas around buildings, barns and other structures. <P>On-the-fly shifting allows the operator to easily adjust to driving conditions, preventing the utility vehicle from getting stuck when terrain turns muddy. These features and others, such as easy-to-see instrumentation, a single-latch tailgate and easy-to-clean composite cargo box, make the Bobcat utility vehicles intuitive to use. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Serviceability</STRONG> <P>Customers want to spend time operating their UTVs ? not trying to troubleshoot them. That?s why Bobcat has incorporated an LCD screen within the speedometer that displays service codes. This allows customers to quickly identify issues with their machine and get them back up and running quickly. <P>For daily maintenance, access to key components is important. The fuel tank on the 3600 and 3650 utility vehicles is conveniently located and daily checks of items such as fluids, filters and the battery can be made through easy access to the engine compartment. Liquid-cooled engines in Bobcat utility vehicles protect critical engine components from overheating, which also results in more power and performance from the machine, because components are kept cooler at higher rpms. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Comfort and ease of use</STRONG> <P>Along with hauling materials and cargo, transporting passengers in comfort is an added benefit for even the hardest-working utility vehicles. Comfort features on the 3600 and 3650 include tilt steering, ample legroom and foot space and two-passenger bucket front seat standard on the 3650. A dealer-installed bench front seat capable of seating up to three occupants is also available on the 3600 utility vehicle. <P>Customers who need to feed their livestock and clear snow, or continue other projects into cold winter days or hot summer afternoons will find shelter from the elements with the optional cab that is equipped with heat and air conditioning. The cab?s unique modular design can provide customized protection for the operator and passengers. As an added benefit, the entire cab construction can be assembled or disassembled in pieces within 30 minutes. <P>There?s no need to be cut off from communication because of a dead cell phone battery when working on a jobsite. Two 12-volt accessory plug-ins allow the operator to conveniently charge a cell phone, iPod, or other electrical devices. <STRONG readability="2"><P>Versatility</STRONG> <P>The more tasks that one piece of equipment can complete, the more productive and profitable it can be for an owner. To meet jobsite needs for snow and ice removal, the 3600 has an optional integrated snow blade and a sprayer that can be mounted in the vehicle?s cargo box. <P>Customers who choose the 3650 utility vehicle will have the same compatibility but with twice as many tools. The 3650 utility vehicle?s exclusive Multi-Attachment X-Change? (M.A.X.)provides integration and versatility not found on ordinary utility vehicles. In addition to the sprayer, it also will have the capability of powering front mounted PTO-driven attachments including a snowblower, mower and angle broom, as well as non-PTO attachments consisting of the snow blade, pallet fork and bucket. These six attachments, combined with a maximum lift height of 2 feet and rated lift capacity of 500 pounds, allow the 3650 to accomplish tasks from clearing sidewalks of snow and debris to moving dirt or palleted materials. <P>Another valuable feature for operators of the 3650 utility vehicle is the ability to operate the throttle independent of the travel control pedal. A first for the utility vehicle market, this capability allows the operator to set the engine speed with a throttle rather than having to use the accelerator pedal to increase engine rpm.

<div class="caption" style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px 5px; width: 233px;">
Volvo will be launching three new compact radius excavators at Bauma, pictured is the Volvo ECR25D.</div>
</div>
<div class="Introduction" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
Having launched many of its Stage IIIB-compliant earthmoving machines over the last two years, Volvo will use Bauma to take the wraps off several new compact machines.</div>
<div class="Introduction" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
Its new additions to the compact excavator range will be the ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D short swing radius units. The machines weigh 2.5, 5.7 to 7.0 and 8.6 to 9.5 tonnes respectively.</div>
<div class="FreeFormA" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
Getting around site on these compact machines is said to have been made easier thanks to automatic two-speed travel, as well as hydraulic travel pedals for easy and accurate track control. The ECR25D has the added feature of high mobility – it can be transported with up to three buckets and a hydraulic breaker with a less than 3.5 tonne gross weight.</div>
<div class="FreeFormA" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
Volvo said the machines’ new engines delivered lower emissions along with superior performance and fuel efficiency. An auto-idling system reduces engine speed when the controls are inactive for a specified time (operator pre-set on the ECR58D and ECR88D via the display between three and 20 seconds), reducing running costs and fuel consumption.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
In terms of new road building equipment, the 9 m maximum pave width P6870C ABG wheeled paver is the latest addition to the Volvo range. The company says it is quieter, more productive, and up to 30% more fuel efficient than its predecessor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
A key feature is the new fume extraction system, which has seen Volvo shortlisted for one of the Bauma Innovation Awards. The system, which is common across all of Volvo’s C-series pavers is said to capture 83% of the fumes from the machine’s auger channel, protecting operators working on the machine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">
It comprises a fan on either side of the auger channel, which captures fumes and routes them into a duct system to be released at the paver’s canopy level.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong>On July 6, 2012, the National Technological Innovation Conference was held in Beijing. It was the first large, high-profile technical innovation conference since the foundation of new China. Nine entities participated in the conference, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Beijing Municipal Committee and Government, and SANY Heavy Industry. All of the participating members gave speeches at the conference. SANY was the only company representative, an indication that the government considers SANY the leader in China’s construction machinery industry.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Unlike the traditional manufacturing industry, in which innovation depends on low cost and imported technology, SANY positions itself as a company that produces high-quality products, strives to research and develop core technologies, and manufactures its own core components. Every year, SANY invests 5-7 percent of its sales revenue into research and development.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />SANY’s products — such as concrete machinery, pile-driving equipment and crawler cranes — have become the brand leaders in China. It also has many other world-class products, such as an 86-meter-boom pump truck, super-pressure concrete pump, the world’s largest-tonnage excavator, Asia’s first 1,000-ton all-terrain crane, and the 3,600-ton SCC36000 crawler crane, which is hailed as “the World’s Number One Crawler Crane.” Through these achievements, SANY has become China’s largest, and the world's sixth-largest, construction-equipment manufacturer. Through December 2012, SANY has applied for 5,873 patents, 3,303 of which have been approved. SANY ranks first in patent applications in China’s construction machinery industry.</div>

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Xiang Wenbo, president of SANY Heavy Industry, said innovation enables SANY to generate growth and reduce dependence on external economic conditions. This allows the company to weather economic downturns.</div>

<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong>SANY-affiliated Ralls Corporation filed suit against U.S. President Barack Obama on October 1, 2012, after the U.S. government blocked Ralls from owning wind farms in Oregon. The Obama administration and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) ruled Ralls ownership of the wind farms was a threat to U.S. national security. The CFIUS is an interagency committee that reviews foreign ownership of U.S. companies for potential threats to national security.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In the face of an aggressive American government agency, Ralls filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. According to reports, it’s the first time that an American president issued an order to halt acquisition of an American company by a foreign company. It is also the first time a Chinese company resorted to litigation to fight against trade protectionism in the United States. Xiang Wenbo, a director of the board of SANY Group, said in this case, the process is more important than the result. The company’s dignity, Xiang said, is more important than money. Fairness and justice are more important than financial benefits and interests, he said.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong>A five-year effort has led to establishment of an upgraded network of 170 SANY dealers across China. The project was largely completed in September 2012. This strong dealership distribution system provides the company with superior marketing channels, which will help SANY build up new core competitiveness. Chairman Liang Wengen said dealers are one of SANY’s core assets, so SANY will continue to promote common development with its dealers for generations to come.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong>In March, 2012, SANY Heavy Industry signed a joint-venture agreement with the Austrian company Palfinger, showing SANY is fully ready to enter the truck-mounted crane market. It is SANY’s first global joint venture. According to the agreement, SANY-Palfinger Co. Ltd. will build new factories near SANY Heavy Industry’s Ningxiang Industrial Park to conduct R&D, manufacturing and sales of special vehicles and equipment such as truck-mounted cranes tailored for both Chinese and global markets. Palfinger-SANY Mobile Crane International Sales Co. Ltd., headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, will distribute mobile cranes produced by SANY in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and America.</div>
<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Both joint-venture companies have started operation. SANY-Palfinger president Christophe Kalmar said the company aims to acquire the greatest market share in China’s truck mounted crane market and change the domestic market landscape within five years. Meanwhile, it will build itself into a leader of the truck-mounted crane industry and a model for all joint ventures.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></strong>In October 2012, SANY reaffirmed its position against the blind pursuit of industry rankings and size. Since the end of 2011, vicious competition, such as blindly seeking scale and using radical marketing, became prevalent across the whole industry. SANY reaffirmed its business principles of “Brand First, Profit Second, Scale Last,” which can be interpreted as: “Seek profit and the ability to profit. Do not blindly expand the company’s scale. Do not blindly seek the company’s ranking in the industry. Do not blindly look for the company’s market share.” SANY’s statement calls for “rational competition.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #c7c7c7; color: #666666; font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif', arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />According to experts, over-pursuit of scale, ranking and market share have undermined the health of China’s construction machinery industry. SANY’s new principle aims to offer a cure to vicious competition. The industry will look to see what effect it has.</div>

This plan will provide more benefits and cover more employees. “When a company has achieved a certain level of success, in addition to contributing more to society, it should share the success with its staff,” said Xiang Wenbo, president of SANY Heavy Industry. “At present, the incentive plan will certainly inspire our staff, which will turn into driving force for the company’s growth and help to create more benefits for shareholders.”</div>

The theme of the CCTV 2012 Economic Person of the Year Award was “The Mission of Enterprise.” According to CCTV, the reasons Liang won the award were: “Having completed the acquisition of Putzmeister, SANY became the world’s largest concrete machinery manufacturer. SANY now is seeking to further its internationalization. It aims to increase its overseas business to 40%-50% of the company’s overall sales in five years. All the achievement and ambition of the company derive from this entrepreneur’s constant pursuit of excellence.”</div>
