JCB India launched new intelligent machines at Excon 2019 which included the new ecoXpert 3DX Backhoe Loader, a machine with fuel savings of up to 12 per cent and up to 22 per cent lower maintenance costs.

On the back of Excon 2019 theme ‘Smart i-tech India@ 75’, JCB India showcased its strong focus on digitisation and innovation. The company leveraged the integration of Big Data and Internet of Things in its products and services at the event.

The new intelligent machines which were put on display included the new ecoXpert 3DX Backhoe Loader, a machine with fuel savings of up to 12 per cent and up to 22 per cent lower maintenance costs. The new 3DX also comes loaded with JCB’s ‘IntelliPerformance’ and ‘IntelliDig’ technology which will give customers real time information about the performance of the machine.

The company has made significant investments in its Excavator range. It showcased its intelligent NXT range of machines in the 14T to 24.5T category and the robust Quarry Master Range in the 14T to 38T category. It has thus reinforced its commitment to be a full-range infrastructure equipment partner. JCB Telehandler, a product that leads in across the world, has also been upgraded to the all-new global side engine design. It will continue to pioneer in the material handling segment with the new global range of Telehandlers together with the two brand new models of Skid Steer Loaders, the SSL 135 and SSL 155.

All new JCB machines exhibit a seamless blend of technology and digital innovation in terms of design, performance, efficiency and safety, thereby bringing to light JCB India’s effort towards meeting the ever-rising demand for world-class construction machines used for building a new India.

Subir Kumar Chowdhury, MD & CEO of JCB India said, “We are, as always, delighted to be a part of Excon, South Asia’s largest construction equipment exhibition. We have launched our range of intelligent products and technologies at this five-day event. Our Backhoe Loader, which probably is the most widely used construction equipment is now even more fuel efficient and comes with ‘IntelliPerformance’. The next level ‘NXT’ series from 14T to 24.5T and the Quarry Master range of Excavators from 14T to 38T now offers a wide range of options to our customers to choose from. We have pioneered the material handling segment with our range of Telehandlers and Skid Steers; the new range of Telehandlers with the global side engine layout and height from 7m to 18m have also been launched along with a new range of Skid Steers. Mini Excavators are gaining popularity in select applications and we have made our range even more comprehensive in the 3T to 6T range.”

He further added, “Smart technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and next-generation construction equipment will play an important role in achieving the $5 trillion economy target for the country. It is a significant opportunity for us to showcase the pioneering work done by us through the integration of IoT and Big Data in our machines. At Excon, we will also be displaying our range of smart solutions in parts and product support, which are providing comprehensive solutions to India’s earthmoving and construction needs.”
