How can users and machines work together even better? What synergies do WIRTGEN GROUP plants deliver in asphalt production?

RoadNews issue 09 has a particular focus on teamwork, so among other things, we visited a mixing plant operator in the Swedish town of Furuby, accompanied a paving team in Wilhelmshaven (North Germany) and took a closer look at the “Mill Assist” assistance system.

In this issue, find out how WIRTGEN GROUP innovations launched at the Bauma trade fair impact on everyday operations.
