Wirtgen India: Road Milling & Paving Equipment for Efficient Construction
Wirtgen India offers cutting-edge milling and paving machines equipped with eco-friendly technologies like contactless paving and RAP recycling to enhance road construction efficiency and sustainability.
Ramesh Palagiri - Managing Director & CEO, Wirtgen India
What eco-friendly features and technologies is Wirtgen integrating into its product offerings to support sustainable and cost-effective construction?
We are looking at introducing smart and sustainable road technology in India where our focus would be on enabling speed and quality of construction. In fact, we are in the process of introducing several new technologies in India which would help in increasing the speed and quality of construction and make it sustainable.
It is not necessary that these technologies would increase machine and operation costs. While the initial investment in the machinery may be high, their benefits would be tremendous. For example, technologies like contactless paving using mobile feeders, and the inline pave method. In Cold Milling technology (which is quite popular in India) the RAP recycling in the asphalt plants makes them very cost-effective. We are offering various solutions to customers by way of buy/rent/ lease for our machines.
What are Wirtgen’s plans for introducing electric machines in the Indian market?
Electric machines are already being used in India as seen in the Crushing and Screening plants, especially the more stationary type rather than the mobile models. For mobile construction equipment the initial focus will be on the smaller sized machines. At the bauma next year in Germany we will be displaying the first set of Wirtgen Group electric driven machines.
