Terex: Cutting-Edge Mobile Crushers & Screens, Washing Systems & Cranes
Terex India, a leader in materials processing equipment like Powerscreen® mobile crushers and Finlay® screens, is at the forefront of sustainable construction. Their Hosur facility exemplifies operational excellence with a focus on clean energy, environmental responsibility, and digital tools for efficiency across their diverse product range including Terex® Washing Systems, Franna® cranes, and EvoQuip® solutions.
Environmental responsibility is deeply embedded at Terex India, which is reflected in many of the team’s achievements. Earlier this year, Terex India launched an Urban Forestation Drive at its Hosur facility, an ambitious project to plant 3,000 trees to enhance the surrounding ecosystem and contribute to the well-being of the community in which it operates.
In 2023, over half of the machines sold by Terex India were electric, significantly reducing emissions compared to traditional diesel-powered models. The company has also implemented a series of initiatives designed to minimise the environmental footprint of their operations, including reducing truck usage for material transportation to reduce fuel consumption and emissions and switching to energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the facility, further reducing their energy consumption. We have also taken steps to improve the efficiency of our diesel generators by introducing carbon reduction equipment. When combined, these measures contribute significantly to a more sustainable future for the construction industry.
More recently, Terex India has opened a new Assembly facility dedicated to the manufacturing of Franna "Made in India" Pick and Carry Cranes. Spanning over 3,500 square metres, the facility is equipped with the latest technology and assembly equipment to meet the rising demand for safe, high-quality cranes in India. The new facility and team behind it will support the production of Franna pick and carry cranes that reflect Terex standards of reliability and performance, embodying Terex India's commitment to elevating manufacturing standards for the India market. Terex India has already begun the production of Terex Rough Terrain Cranes for the India market.
Terex India's dedication to innovation, sustainability, and its workforce positions them as a leader in the Indian construction equipment sector. As we prepare to celebrate its 15th anniversary, the teams' commitment and readiness to scale operations and adapt to evolving market dynamics ensures a bright future for the local team in India, and the construction industry in India as a whole.
An emphasis on digital innovation and electrification of construction equipment positions Terex India at the forefront of technological advancements in the construction equipment industry.
