Not content simply to ensure that our pavers comply with the applicable emissions directives, we like to go much further. The machine concept of the “Dash 5” generation is based on environmentally-friendly machine technology.
An important component is VÖGELE EcoPlus, which reduces consumption and emissions. The package consists of various features to reduce machine consumption. Depending on the application and on the degree of utilization of the paver, it is possible to achieve fuel savings of up to 25% with VÖGELE EcoPlus - meaning not only considerable financial savings for companies, but a positive impact on the environment, too. This is because every litre of fuel saved reduces carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
When the paver is at a standstill, all the hydraulic pumps for “drive”, “transfer” and “compact” are switched off automatically. The result: reduced fuel consumption.
The tamper is driven by a variable displacement pump which always delivers only the exact amount of oil needed for current tamper speed - not a drop more or less.
A bypass circuit gets the hydraulic oil to its optimum operating temperature very quickly, allowing rapid, fuel-saving operation of the paver.
Media temperature-managed fan control adapts fan output automatically to suit the systems being supplied. In other words, the temperatures of hydraulic fluid, engine charge air, cooling water and ambient air are controlled within a closed control circuit and cooler output is adapted accordingly.
