SPD parliamentary group visits Liebherr at Bauma
On 12 April 2019, the SPD parliamentary group visited Liebherr at Bauma in Munich and spoke to family shareholders Patricia Rüf and Stéfanie Wohlfahrt.
SPD Bavaria focuses on the following in the energy policy: Energy efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions. In precisely these areas Liebherr has something to show at this year’s Bauma: from the electrically driven truck mixer to the e-mining excavator, the new green technologies impressed the SPD parliamentary group. The party explored the subject of alternative drives and the future construction site in depth with the two family shareholders Patricia Rüf and Stéfanie Wohlfahrt. The Liebherr Group is working on the idea of an emissions-free construction site with different drive concepts. The SPD parliamentary group ended their visit with a guided tour of the trade fair stand and the presentation of individual exhibits such as the fully electric LH 110 C port material handler.
The Liebherr Group has a total of 5 sites in Bavaria and is therefore a relevant player in the Bavarian economic and energy policies.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
