India’s leading manufacturer of construction equipment vehicles, JCB India, today launched its all-new range of CEV Stage IV compliant wheeled construction equipment (CE) vehicles. The launch of these machines makes JCB India the first company in the industry to have brought in the CEV stage IV emission standards across its range of wheeled machines.
The range includes the 3DX Plus and the 4DX Backhoe Loaders, the VM117 soil compactor, the 530-70 and the 530-110 telehandlers with engines complying with the new emission norms. For bulk handling, three new wheeled loaders, the 433-4, the 437-4 and the 455-4 were also launched with new engines.
At an event held at Jaipur, the CEO and Managing Director of JCB India, Deepak Shetty said, “Sustainable growth has always been one of the cornerstone of our operations. We welcome the introduction of CEV Stage IV emission standards for wheeled CE vehicles. This new range is our strong commitment towards the environment and sustainability. In addition to being lower in emissions, these machines are also more fuel-efficient, thus reducing the total cost of ownership of the equipment."
The machines come with JCB’s advanced Telematics technology called JCB Livelink. This revolutionary technology gives real-time updates about the machine’s performance, its operating and health parameters in addition to its location. They can be geo-fenced, time-fenced and can be located through GPS. To date, approximately 1,80,000 LiveLink enabled JCB machines have been sold. This has changed the way customers manage their fleet.
Further, JCB’s Intelli-Diagnostic technology helps in accurate fault-finding through a digital interface. Additionally, genuine parts can also be ordered online through the JCB Parts Mobile Application.
Two new side-engined telehandlers, the 530–70 and 530–110 were also introduced. Both machines come with the JCB ecoMax 444 engine. A narrow chassis along with a standard four-wheel drive for better traction make these machines well suited for material handling requirements. With the engine being on the side, the operator gets greater visibility which enhances safety. Lower NVH levels and air-conditioned cab ensure operator comfort.
JCB has one of the widest dealer networks in the country. It has more than 60 dealers and 700 outlets with trained manpower and adequate parts stock at each of its locations. This ensures customers get professional product support and complete peace of mind when they buy JCB CE anywhere in the country.
