NewsVolvo Construction Equipment is partnering with LS Electric to install solar panels at its Changwon facility in South Korea.
The 30t crawler excavator from Doosan has won the EquipmentWatch Lowest Cost of Ownership Award for the second year running.
The LCO Awards are based on empirical data regarding the long-term cost of heavy and compact equipment .They are organised by EquipmentWatch, which provides data and software for the heavy equipment industry. Nominees are recognised within 15 different categories of machine that exhibit the lowest cost of ownership over a five-year span.
“Total cost of ownership is one of the most important aspects that buyers take into account when they purchase equipment and the award won again by the DX300LC-5 shows why Doosan equipment is always rated highly for great performance and value-for-money,” stated Doosan. “The award is a further illustration of why Doosan is one of the world’s top construction equipment manufacturers.”
The DX300LC-5 is powered by the Doosan DL08 six-cylinder diesel engine, with an output of 202 kW of power at 1,800 rpm, providing a 27% increase in engine power and a 30% boost in torque over the previous LC-3 model.
