Hyundai Construction Equipment Launches Eco-Friendly High-Efficiency Construction Equipment 'A Series'

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Hyundai Construction Equipment is launching the eco-friendly high-efficiency strategic model ‘A Series’ to secure a leading position in the eco-friendly construction machinery market.

On the 4th, Hyundai Construction Equipment held a domestic launch event for the new A Series model at the Technology Innovation Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, unveiling nine new excavator models ranging from 6t to 52t and four wheel loader models. About 60 customers and dealers attended the event, which was broadcast live on YouTube, and had the opportunity to directly experience demonstrations of the new equipment.

Hyundai Construction Equipment’s A Series excavators and wheel loaders are equipped with eco-friendly engines that meet the strengthened European emission regulations, 'Stage V,' and offer up to 20% improved fuel efficiency compared to previous engines. They are also equipped with advanced control technologies in the smart construction field, such as the 'Machine Control' and 'Machine Guidance' systems, enabling automatic and semi-automatic operations without the need for separate surveying personnel.

In particular, cutting-edge technologies such as the 'Radar System,' which detects and alerts potential hazards around the worksite in advance, and the 'Tiltrotator,' which precisely performs 360˚ operations including tilting, bending, and rotating of the excavator bucket, have been applied to maximize work safety and efficiency.

Starting from April next year, emission regulations equivalent to Euro Stage V will be fully enforced domestically. Therefore, Hyundai Construction Equipment’s launch of the eco-friendly high-efficiency A Series ahead of time by one year, meeting all the strengthened emission standards, is significant in terms of securing market leadership.

Park Jeonghwan, Head of Domestic Sales Division at Hyundai Construction Equipment, said, "By launching a full lineup of equipment packed with advanced technology, we can meet the diverse needs of customers," adding, "We plan to further enhance customer satisfaction and brand trust by strengthening differentiated equipment inspection services."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Construction Equipment’s European-type A Series products have been recognized for their excellent quality, recording cumulative sales of approximately 1,240 units by April this year since their launch in the European and North American markets in 2019.
