Crawler excavator with hydrogen engine
Liebherr France SAS
In times of climate change, which demands comprehensive measures for environmental protection and in particular the reduction of pollutant emissions, it is one of the tasks of construction machinery manufacturers to develop low-emission solutions. Liebherr is also working on various drive alternatives in different product segments in the interests of its customers in order to make a contribution to reducing emissions.

A standardised digital language for construction sites
MiC 4.0 Machines in Construction
Many different construction machines work together on construction sites today. They are becoming more digitalised and virtually networked every day. However, communication between construction machines and their attachments is still manufacturer-specific, but not compatible across manufacturers. Our innovative solution: the MiC 4.0 BUS, the plug-and-play solution that connects construction machines and their attachments - a standardised, cross-machine and manufacturer-independent data interface between construction machines and attachments.

Continuous propulsion
Herrenknecht AG
Herrenknecht AG is realising the next innovation push for the mechanical construction of high-performance tunnel infrastructures in all common soft ground constellations (soft ground formations with and without water-bearing layers). Continuous tunnelling equipped with the latest high technology leads to a significant reduction in construction times for longer tunnel sections.

Prestressed CPC concrete elements
Holcim (Germany) GmbH
CPC stands for Carbon Prestressed Concrete. In terms of content, however, CPC stands for resource-saving and climate-friendly concrete components. Instead of the usual steel, the concrete of CPC panels is reinforced exclusively with prestressed carbon fibres. Depending on the design, the high-performance thin concrete slabs enable material savings of up to 80 per cent and reduce the CO2 footprint of the component by up to 75 per cent.

Deep Sea Sampling
TU Freiberg Institute of Mechanical Engineering
Whether copper, cobalt or rare earths, the global demand for these and other raw materials is already enormous. And it will continue to rise in the coming years. In order to meet the demand for raw materials in the long term, existing capacities must be expanded and new deposits sustainably developed. The topic of deep sea mining is therefore more topical than ever. It requires a consideration of the potential and effects across all specialised disciplines. The Deep Sea Sampling research project is making an important contribution to this.
