A sampling of some other new machines, technologies and concepts to be revealed in Las Vegas this March.

Liebherr (Booths G4637 and S84230 at ConExpo-Con/Agg) will showcase its XPower wheel loaders with a power-split driveline concept. XPower is an integrated, innovative machine concept for the large series of wheel loaders with operating weight from 39,020 to 71,870 lb (17,700 to 32,600 kg) for L550-L586. According to Liebherr, the new concept sets new standards in terms of fuel efficiency, performance, robust design and comfort. The core of the XPower is the Tier 4 Final/Euro Stage IV power-split driveline installed as standard. It combines hydrostatic drive, which is suitable for short loading cycles and mechanical drive for long distances and when driving on slopes. Liebherr claims the combination of these two drive types in a single wheel loader ensures maximum efficiency and fuel savings in multiple applications. Liebherr XPower wheel loaders deliver standard power-split transmission and 30% fuel savings.

Additionally, Liebherr will present more than 25 pieces of its equipment, including hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, crawler loaders and dozers, deep foundation equipment, and material handlers, at its outdoor booth. Liebherr's product range of components for the mechanical, hydraulic and electric drive systems will also be on display in the South Hall booth.
